MINISTER Mentor Lee Kuan Yew does not think he will live as long as his father, who died at 94.
He said this in an interview with CNN which was conducted the day before he turned 85 last Tuesday, and two days after he suffered an atrial flutter. 'So I don't think I'll reach my father's 94,' he said.
While he is going strong, 'the day after tomorrow, something could go wrong with the ticker, and then, that's that,' he said.

Full Story

Is one's longevity inherited?
In a way it is true but it is also untrue.
There is such a thing called 'accidental premature' death, isn't it?
We inherit many things from our ancestors and parents. It flows down to us. Like the 1965 Separation Papers. Decided by ancestors, but it flows down to future generations to live with or to fix it, isn't it?
How can one fix one's destiny, one's fate, one's longevity?
Unable to? In a way it is true but it is also untrue.
Ever heard of Cause and Effect and the Divine Prinicple of RWYS?
Heard of to be Unfair to be Absolutely Fair Divine Priniciple?
Who knows the knack how to fix this? What is the solution to fix them?


'I don't think I'll reach 94' in ST, 23rd Sept 08

Mr Lee was hospitalised for a day for an abnormal heart rhythm, a condition not uncommon among people of his age. --

MINISTER Mentor Lee Kuan Yew does not think he will live as long as his father, who died at 94.

He said this in an interview with CNN which was conducted the day before he turned 85 last Tuesday, and two days after he suffered an atrial flutter.

'So I don't think I'll reach my father's 94,' he said.

While he is going strong, 'the day after tomorrow, something could go wrong with the ticker, and then, that's that,' he said.

Mr Lee was hospitalised for a day for an abnormal heart rhythm, a condition not uncommon among people of his age.

Asked for his secrets to longevity and success, he said that one's lifespan depends on what one has inherited from parents.

While his father lived to 94, his mother died at 74 of heart problems.

Mr Lee himself had his first heart problem when he was 74 in 1996.

'Fortunately, unlike her time, they could do an angioplasty and a stent. So that solved it,' he said.

On whether he has any regrets, he said no.

'I've discharged what I had to do... every day is a bonus.

'I take every day as it comes. I see the sun rise, I see the sun set. I eat less than I want to. I swim and I cycle. I sleep well at night, and I enjoy my work.

'But 70 to 80 per cent is what I inherited from my parents.'

Now or 94 MM has had enough of everything.

Corrections:

Ever heard of Cause and Effect and the Divine Principle of RWYS?

Ever heard of the 'to be Unfair to be Absolutely Fair' Divine Principle?

Reflections of his past at play? Let God decide.

I'm sure he's feeling lonely because of his wife's condition.

is he giving hint to singapore? Is he worries about the MIW after he gone..maybe cause of what is happening to our next door neighbour..

Unless there is also sodomy in RD's Parliament, lah.

He has passed the midpoint between 74 and 94 already.

I may not agree to everything he did but in all honesty, Mr Lee had provided Singapore the appropriate leadership (together with some good men) at the specific time and season, where Singapore needed a strong leadership (albeit a wee little too strong for the intellectual minority at that time). Yes our success thus far is just not about him and the pioneering batch .. but hey they sure played a very big part, didn't they?

For that I am grateful. I wish him well.
