Prime Minister Lawrence Wong sent his condolences to the Lee family, and described Dr Lee, who died aged 69, as"unswerving in her focus on patient welfare and medical ethics".
Dr Lee was also a regular contributor to The Sunday Times, and her columns were later compiled into a book, A Hakka Woman's Singapore Stories: My life as a daughter, doctor and diehard Singaporean. Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, who was also in that batch of President's Scholars, described Dr Lee as a “passionate and dedicated person”, who “put her all into what she did, in particular as a doctor”.
He also remembered how, as the doctor in the family, his younger sister took a close interest in the treatment of his lymphoma which he battled in the early nineties.
