This is what's she tells the State's Times:
After being discharged from the hospital, I was happy to see my patients again, and they were happy to see me. I have resumed travelling with my father MM Lee Kuan Yew, something that I used to do in my teens and in my 20s, until work and my conference schedule put a stop to it. This time, when my father asked me to accompany him on his trips, I dropped everything. I join him not for fun but to keep him company.
While I have always known that my father was wise. I was surprised to see the movers and shakers of this world seek his opinion and advice on a multitude of international problems. On Tuesday, my father was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by US-Asean Business Council. Former US presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton sent taped tributes. Dr Kissenger and Dr George Shultz attended the event. I am proud of my father, not for the award per se, but for making Singapore and Asean better places.
My father has always tried to do what is right for Singapore, and for humanity. He will stand by friends who fall out of public favor to show the world: "To hell with you, he's still my friend." These are the same rules by which I have tried to lead my much humble life.
My father is a world famous statesman, one whom world leaders consult. But after all is said and done, my father will leave it to history to have the final say on his life.
