SINGAPORE — Tired and grieving as he surely is, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong still took the time to express his gratitude for the condolences and messages of support he has received today (March 23).

In a short entry posted on Facebook at 10.27pm, he said: “My family and I greatly appreciate your messages of condolence and support.”

“Grateful to those who came to pay respects at the wake this evening. Many told me how my father had made a difference to their lives,” he added.

Accompanying the post were four photographs, one of which showed officers from Security Command, whom he said were “men and women who protected Mr and Mrs Lee”. “They carried the coffin into the hall this afternoon,” he said.
