Dr Lee Wei Ling, 60, is a neurologist who is also the daughter of the late Lee Kuan Yew, shared in a Facebook post last night about her diagnosis of a rare brain disease.
Lee said that she has Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), which she described as a “rather nasty brain disease”.
It apparently will slow her physical movements, cause eye movement impairments, affects her sence of balance and eventually, as the disease progresses, she will have difficulty swallowing, become more susceptible to pneumonia and ultimate, death.
It is also worth noting that as the disease progresses, she will also lose her self-control on how she behaves and responds to other people.
Lee shared that she is already beginning to experience slowness and difficulty in simple movements.
