SINGAPORE: Today marks exactly 100 years since the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew was born, and his eldest son, current PM Lee Hsien Loong, acknowledged this occasion by promoting the events and activities the Government has organized to commemorate the late elder statesman’s centennial birth anniversary. Mr Lee Hsien Loong wrote on Facebook: “Today would have been my father’s 100th birthday.
