Re: Dictator of S'pore, Lee Con You in hospital for severe pneumonia, dying soon. Yip
Unlike previous admissions, he was heli-casevac into the ICU. The previous admissions have always been unannounced. If it was just another health scare, it is unlikely that an announcement would have been made. This is especially given LHL's prostate cancer operation which took place about a week AFTER he was admitted.
The fact that an announcement was made so long after admission suggest that the doctors think that there is a high chance that he will not make it. The announcement should therefore be seen in the light of preparing the ground for his passing.
It is likely that they will abide by his wishes and not keep him in a vegetative state. Unlike his wife who was not a public figure, it will be impossible to hide the fact that he is in a coma for an extended period of time - people will start to talk if he is not seen up and about.
