SINGAPORE: Former Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo's wife, Jennifer Yeo, revealed on Monday (Aug 14) that she has been undergoing treatment for a rare form of nose cancer.

In a Facebook post, the 58-year-old lawyer said this year's National Day Parade on Aug 9 had been "extraordinary" for her because her mother was performing during the show. Her mother, affectionately known as Grandma Mary stole the show as an 81-year-old guitar-slinging granny at the parade. However, Mrs Yeo said she was unable to watch her mother's performance live as she has been undergoing treatment in Houston, Texas at the MD Anderson Cancer Centre.

In a separate Facebook post, Mr Yeo said his wife was diagnosed with the rare "aggressive" cancer - sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma three weeks ago, and her only symptom was the loss of her sense of smell.

This rare type of cancer occurs when a tumour forms in the upper respiratory tract.

Mrs Yeo's treatment consists of chemotherapy and chemo-radiotherapy and could include surgery, Mr Yeo said. He added that "doctors are cautiously optimistic". The family expects to be in Houston for some months, he shared.

this could be the payback time.
the millions that he received during his time as Minister has to be paid to hospital in Houston.
it is a zero sum game.

This shows GY is " someone" and somebody of interest not just because of his past career in government. GY , whatever his faults , had more brains and a better grasp of history than the dimwits running things now ( not to say all ministers are dimwits, but even the smartest one is , at best, his equal). He never had to depend on the System for a job. This shows true quality. I wonder if he is still a PAP member.

I had hoped that he could take over and be PM. But disappointed me greatly. He chose to ignore the advice of his faith leaders on Casinos so that he could be seen to have independent thought within the Leedership.

He forgot it was God who had placed him above everyone else to carry out policies which are right in God's sight. Promoting gambling is outright immoral.

It's not to late for him to make a public apology.

Public repentance won't be appropriate . These decisions were taken by the cabinet, some ministers still serving. He might well have repented in private.

His Son also cancer.
This is cancer family karma for vile deeds done

Yes, from my thread of 2011


[h=2]The Tale of 2 Leukemia Cases:- The Haves versus the Have nots[/h]
Firstly, let me preface this by saying its no laughing matter that BG Yeo's son has leukemia, and also that Marjorie Soh, the 12 year old girl lost her battle with leukemia at the age of 12. I can't imagine the pain of losing one's child at that age.

However, I am struck by the contrast and simlarity between these 2 cases. In one case, BG Yeo has a young son diagnosed with leukemia, and the Sohs also have a young daughter diagnosed with leukemia too. One family carries on life with no noticeable financial burden, and the other family is in effect bankrupt and chased after by creditors and have to sell their home.

BG Yeo is a wealthy man, we all know this, and dispite the ability to get cheap medical care in singapore for his son (such as $8 heart bypass surgeries available only to ministers like him), he choses to send his entire family (all 5 of them) to Memphis Tenessee to live there for 9 months while his son undergoes medical treatment there. I am not even going to guess what the cost is. And while there, he renovates his house into a sterile enviornment for his son, yet another $1 million spend there easily.

The heartlanders Soh in the meantime, using singapore doctors and hospital (because the govt. tells them they are best in medical field in the region) runs up a $400K medical bill, and still the daughter dies. I guess that BG Yeo did not get the memo that he was already living in the country that has the bestest facilities and doctors, and decided to take his son to the US. The SOhs have spend literally every dollar they have to save their daughter, just like any forumer reading this would have done. They have even sold their home and yet its not enough to cover the bills. They will be made bankrupt soon. And no govt. agency, hospital or doctor can or is willing to save them. Even the evil doctor cut her bill in half and then to zero for the Sultan of Brunei's sister. But not applicable if you are just a normal citizen.

Sad to say, in singapore, this is not the exceptional case at all. From personal experience, I have friends and relatives that have incurred 6 figure medical bills dispite all the plethora of supposed insurance, and financial aid plans available according to the PAP. Wooden Goh used to say repeatedly that no one will be left behind in S'pore's economic success. I beg to differ, many people are being left behind and they are not on the lower spectrum either. They are regular people, not poorly educated or jobless.

What happened to the principal that all will receive the same medical care? Since went has it been ok for a servant of the people like BG Yeo to say local medicine is not good enough, I go to the US. If the Sohs could afford it, I am sure they would have gone to Memphis too, and maybe the BG and the Sohs could have been neighbours.

Herein lies the deception that Khaw, Mah and the other have played on the singapore people.
1) health care is affordable. No its not, ask the Sohs and thousands like them.
2) U can monetize your flat for your retirement. Not if you or your spouse or child has a serious illness, in which case, u will do just like the Sohs and sell your flat to pay for the medical costs. What are the odds that a serious illness will happen to you or someone in your family before the age of 65 yr?. Its high, so good luck to you if you are relying on your flat to fund your retirement.

What does it say about a country with hundreds of billions $ in reserve, multi million dollar ministers and politicians, shiny new high rise, fantastic govt. buildings, politicians who go overseas for medical treatment and french cooking, and all this cannot save one little girl's family from financial ruin. If you still think u want to vote for the PAP, u have rocks in your brain. Just remember, TODAY IT WAS THE SOHS, TOMORROW, IT COULD BE YOUR FAMILY. Just like that.​

Errr......you missed out mentioning what type of leukemia and what stage the cancer was at time of diagnosis for both cases.

Makes a big difference in terms of prognosis.

that is not the point, dumbass. Even if the prognosis was not good, every parent would spend whatever they can to save their child. The point is (and since you missed it, that is why you are known as a dumbass) one family placed their faith in the Singapore medical and health system because they have been told by the PAP that its the best in the world, and the health Minister is the highest paid health minister in the world. because of the faith they placed in the singapore health system, they had to sell they home, borrowed money, when broke and creditors are chasing them. This is the result whether their child lived or died. On the other hand, a Minister (who has inside knowledge of the true standard of health care in singapore), and ironically can get his kid treated for free as a VIP patient in a local hospital, trust the system so little that he would move his entire family at great expense to another country far away to get medical care for his child. He knows something the other family did not know? Of course he did. The main difference is the minister has inside knowledge of the poor quality of healthcare in singapore and he had vast amounts of money to afford to move his family for 9 months to the US. This is fair or not?

Right. When push comes to shove GY does not trust the SG medical establishment. That said, elites can fly in medical expertise from any corner of the world if cost is no object. But GY obviously does not want to bother with the system here. Looks like he does not want to owe anyone anything.

The only way that this moron GY can redeem himself is to come back and fight the PAP. Join the Oppo or form his own oppo party. He must know many skeletons in the PAP closet. If he is not a religious person, then he should be one now, after seeing what happened to his family. he should get a conscience and do the right thing.
