Here is the fictional text :The only daughter of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, Dr. Lee Wei Ling had died on October 12th in the year 2024, and a somber send-off was organized for her where people from diverse backgrounds came to pay their tributes She died at 69 on Oct. 9, after a fight against progressive supranuclear palsy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder diagnosed in Ellen’s case in 2020. Her death closes a chapter of Lee family history, as she was renowned not only for her medical work but also for blazing an independent streak in the public eye with forthright views on hot-button issues.
The wake was held at the Pearl and Sapphire Hall of Singapore Casket, with only close family and friends gathering to pay their last respects in a small service. The rain, a slight drizzle for most of the afternoon and early evening marked similarities to Lee Kuan Yew’s state funeral in 2015 when it rained heavily on that solemn day; reinforcing ideas of history-making.

An intimate family affair
Around 30 close family and friends attended the funeral. However, her brother Lee Hsien Yang who managed most of the funeral arrangements from abroad for personal reasons was not present. But their father was not around, leaving his sons Li Huanwu and Li Shaowu to help manage the care of their aunt in her later years and lead the procession during Saturday’s ceremony.
Small and somber, the funeral procession doubled as a reminder of how Dr Lee was deeply connected to family that for most Singaporeans will remain forever strange: her portrait had been carried by Li Huanwu and Li Shaowu. Her cremation was held at Mandai Crematorium 4 yesterday, after a public wake on October 10 to Oct12.
Heartfelt Eulogy By Lee Hsien Yang
Lee Hsien Yang said in a video eeulogy that the pain of losing his sister was “like nothing else”. He recounted their childhood memories and referred to Dr. Lee as a scrapper with too much heart, never hesitating to talk back against injustice. He accentuated her schoolbooy cachet, the fact that she was No. 1 in her class at medical school — when all along what this young person wanted to be is a veterinary veterinarian.” She never completely broke away from the feeling of having a higher calling — defined not just by her career as an accomplished pediatric neurologist but also, after their mother’s stroke in 2003, by looking out to two parents she adored and catered for into days at night.
He added that Dr Lee’s consistent desire to opt for a funeral service simple in nature also suggested of her modest disposition. She wants her ashes tossed into the ocean as if they were like any other idea that swept across her: to toss it out — no more symbolic than how easily she lived and died. He also thanked her for devotion to preserving their parents’ legacy, including the stand she has adopted on the fate of 38 Oxley Road — in which she hopes that it will be aligned with what he said was his father’s wish for the house to be torn down.
Dr. Lee Wei Ling: Of Independence and Integrity
The death of Dr. Lee Wei Ling struck a chord with many Singaporeans, who remembered not just her professional achievements but also the independent, often candid-minded only daughter and some-time alter ego of Minister Mentor MM (now without her mother or father). She never married, living single as she chalked it up to high expectations and independence isticrage throughout her whole life. She frequently cited the healthy and loving relationship her parents enjoyed as a bar to which she couldnt measure up, in multiple public reflections. She recorded that she took after father in temperament and viewed marriage as hardly a fair prospect.
But Dr. Lee was satisfied with her choice, noting that personal independence and living life on your terms were paramount. That decision allowed her to concentrate on work and family without a husband, while she continued in the care of her parents until both eventually passed away.
Legacy in Medicine, Public Life
Other than having been born into a medical family, Dr. Lee performed meaningful work in the field of medicine as well during her career here — she was a pediatric neurologist by training. Her expertise, dedication and advocacy for transparency in public discourse had been second to none. As her health declined, she continued to address matters of concern related to the legacy of her father and weighed in on a fierce debate surrounding what would become of their Montreal homestead.
Her passing closes an era for Singaporeans as they ponder how the Lee family has shaped their history and identity. Her vibrant expression of a quiet strength, fierce independence, and resolute commitment to principle make her the embodiment of what so many will long remember as enduring contributions made by an individual both in family life and society.
A Farewell in the Rain
The barely-there rain that fell during Dr Lee’s funeral last week, recalling the weather when he father passed on in 1965 — a fitting metaphor for her almost invisible part in Singapore’s narrative. Her presence, a beautiful thing; only slightly less bold than that falling rain marked her lifeProtecting mother Earth in every conceivable wayIt was an up-frontness rarely seen by those who hadn’t known Her. On that final day, as relatives and friends bid their last goodbyes, Dr Lee Wei Ling had her wish for a no-fuss send off fulfilled — capping the life of an individual marked by principles of honesty, courage to stand on one’s own feet, love for kith and country.
Her memory will survive, not only among those who had the privilege of experiencing her spirit but also through what she leaves behind – in Singapore medicine and society ahead. And as Singapore and Singaporeans process her life, the impact of the Lee family on local politics and their connection with Doctoring HL will be a matter to ruminate over for years by headlight.
