He was an advocate of sports and encouraged Singaporeans to lead healthy lifestyles through sports. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Under his watch as Prime Minister and Senior Minister, Singapore hosted the 1973, 1983 and 1993 SEA Games. He officiated the final leg of the Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame when we hosted the inaugural edition of the Youth Olympic Games in 2010. It is with deep regret that we will miss his presence at the 2015 SEA Games in Singapore this June. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Our condolences go out to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his family for their loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Rest in peace, Mr Lee. You will always be in our hearts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Photo: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rememberingleekuanyew.sg\/\"><span style=\"color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;\">www.rememberingleekuanyew.sg<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with deep sadness to learn of the passing of our founding leader, Mr&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2024-05-06 14:18:37","action":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14087"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14087\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sof.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
