Ladies and Gentlemen, the one and only mr. Khamtai Siphandon! That's me! I can't believe it! And now I should be all right till tomorrow at least.

drol 11,923 Posted February 16, 2020 Rumours going around that both Hau Pei-tsun and Lee Teng-hui are very sick. Families denied this by adding they are both in stable conditions. Lee Teng-hui has been hospitalized for diabetes complications and aspiration pneumonia, Hau Pei-tsun has been in ICU since April after suffering a debilitating stroke and has now developed breathing complications. At 97 and 101, it shouldn't be so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,923 Posted February 24, 2020 Update on both Lee Teng-hui and Hau Pei-tsun: *Lee Teng-hui: condition stabilized, not in imminent risk of death. Chances are in favour of recovery, once again. *Hau Pei-tsun: remarkably stable after he suffering a "minor stroke" last April which left him with "problems with his left hand and foot, so he has to use a wheelchair". Note in April media talked about a "debilitating stroke" that left him "half-paralyzed". Very worried with his son's political career, has all his marbles. So they will escape agaiiiiin for now.

His death means that there is only one surviving member of the 'Gang of Eight' who mounted a coup attempt against Gobachev in 1991, (which almost certainly led to his downfall a few months later), namely Oleg Baklanov who is 87 .I wonder if Gorbachev will survive them all ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
