SINGAPORE, Aug. 22 (Xinhua)-- Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will be on medical leave and will resume his duties on Aug. 29, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement on Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean will cover Lee's duties.
Doctors have confirmed that Lee has no cardiac abnormalities and no stroke.
Lee took ill during the English portion of his speech at National Day Rally on Sunday. The Prime Minister's Office said he was feeling unsteady because of prolonged standing, heat and dehydration.
After taking about an hour's rest, Lee resumed the rally, speaking for about 15 minutes, before going to Singapore General Hospital for a check-up.
