This article is for subscribers only.
Singapore’s government said it would allow 24-hour access for mourners to pay tribute to first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew as thousands joined a line that stretched for more than a mile through the financial district.
Roads have been closed and people may have to wait for as long as eight hours to reach Parliament House, where Lee’s body will lie in state for four days. Lee’s coffin was carried there on a gun carriage from the presidential palace on Wednesday.
