SINGAPORE: Former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew was admitted to Singapore General Hospital on Saturday after experiencing a suspected transient ischaemic attack associated with a prolonged episode of atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat.
A statement from the Prime Minister's office said Mr Lee has recovered but will remain warded for a few days for the doctors to adjust his medication and for observation.
A transient ischaemic attack happens when blood flow to a part of the brain stops for a brief period of time.
The patient will have stroke-like symptoms, which clear in less than 24 hours.
