Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong has fainted as he was delivering a speech during a National Day rally.
The live broadcast was suspended as doctors attended to him.
Mr Lee had been “unsteady because of prolonged standing, heat and dehydration,” a statement from his office said. “His heart is fine and he did not have a stroke.”
He later resumed his speech to applause. Lee Hsien Loong, 64, has been in office since August 2004.
Last year, he had surgery to remove his prostate gland.
