Lee Kuan Yew's health was on many Singaporeans' minds last week.
With online rumours about Lee's health, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) provided three statements within a week to inform Singaporeans that our 91-year old former Prime Minister is well.

Last Saturday, Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong also urged everyone to go by the official statements from the government:
"It's not that people rumour-monger on purpose. (But) in the absence of announcements and given the condition of Mr Lee, people always expect something may happen to him suddenly...But I would advise people to go by official statement from the PMO. If there's no statement, there's nothing much to worry about."
But how do we know that Lee's health is really on many Singaporeans' minds?
Well-wishes from the residents perhaps?
Or the tracking of online sentiments?
Incorrect on both counts.
We know S'poreans really thought of Lee when the 4D combination of his age is sold out the morning after Sunday's 4D draw.
