Mr Lee Kuan Yew's condition remains largely unchanged since the previous update on Saturday, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement on Friday (Mar 6).

His doctors are continuing to monitor his condition, the statement added.

In a Feb 28 statement, the PMO said: "He remains sedated and on mechanical ventilation in the ICU at Singapore General Hospital. He is continuing with his antibiotics."

Mr Lee, Singapore's first Prime Minister, has been in hospital since Feb 5, when he was admitted for severe pneumonia. On Friday evening, Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim said he was told Mr Lee's condition is "stable".
