Singapore's former President, Dr Wee Kim Wee, died on Monday morning (5.10am) at his home, from complications due to a relapse of prostate cancer.

Dr Wee, who was president from 1985 to 1993, was 89 years old, and is widely known as the People's President - displaying a genuine concern for others and a natural warmth that touched many lives

We have had the pleasure of feeling first hand the warmth of the man while on his walks at East Coast during the weekends.
