SINGAPORE - Flags at all Ministry of Education (MOE) schools flew at half-mast from morning as a mark of respect to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

The Straits Times reported that all staff and students from Government schools and post-secondary educational institutions (PSEIs), and MOE headquarters staff will participate in state events such as the Lying-in-State, Special Parliament Sitting and the State Funeral Service.
