SINGAPORE - Ten of the 18 community tribute centres that were set up islandwide to allow people to pay their respects to Mr Lee Kuan Yew will operate round the clock from Wednesday to Sunday.

Up to 9pm on Wednesday, about 220,000 people have visited the community sites, which opened in batches in the last three days.

They continue to draw a steady stream of visitors despite thousands thronging Parliament House, where Mr Lee lies in state, to bid him farewell.

The centres will be live telecasting the state funeral of Singapore's first prime minister, 91, who died on Monday after being hospitalised on Feb 5 with severe pneumonia.

They will close at the end of the state funeral, which will be held at the National University of Singapore's University Cultural Centre on Sunday at 2pm.

This will be followed by a private cremation service at Mandai Crematorium.
