Earlier on Thursday, a website closely resembling the prime minister’s website announced that Lee had died. This was reported as fact by some media outlets, but it was later retracted as wrong.

Singapore police have announced an inquiry into the hoax.

“Police confirm a report has been lodged and we are looking into the matter,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Melvin Yong said in a statement.

“We take a very stern view against anyone who doctors a government website to spread false information to deceive the public. We will spare no effort to bring them to task. We also advise the public not to spread falsehoods.”

これによると、李光耀はいまだに現役の国会議員として議席を有している。
また、息子である現総理の李顕龍(Lee Hsien Loong)の健康もあまり恵まれていないらしい。前立腺癌の手術を受け、2月18日に退院したばかり。

8月9日はシンガポール独立50周年だが、それまでもつかどうか。
