Singapore PM back at work after surgery

Xinhua, March 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is fully back at work on Tuesday after undergoing a successful surgery to remove his prostate gland.

The prime minister posted a photo of well-wishes and cards that he received after his surgery on his social network account, saying he was "glad to be fully back at work."

PM Lee said he was touched by the thoughtful messages and expressed his thankfulness to the message senders.

Lee was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January, and underwent robot-assisted keyhole surgery on Feb. 16 at the Singapore General Hospital. He left hospital two days later and was on medical leave for one week. Endi
