TTSH wants patient out

TAN Tock Seng Hospital is seeking a court order to remove a bedridden, comatose patient who has been in its care for over three years.

It is also asking his family to pay the medical bill - of at least $330,000 - run up since the patient was admitted in May 2007.

'It would be heaven'

HEALTH Minister Khaw Boon, who will be leading a group of residents from Sembawang to Mrs Lee Kuan Yew's wake on Tuesday to pay their last respects, said in his latest blog entry that if everyone were to be like the Minister Mentor's wife, 'this planet would be heaven.'
