Devan Nair - Resignation
On March 28, 1985, Nair resigned in unclear circumstances. Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew stated in parliament that Nair resigned to get treatment for alcoholism, a charge Nair hotly denied. According to Nair's counterclaim, he resigned under pressure when their political views came into conflict and Lee threatened to seek a motion in parliament to oust him as president. Nair also alleged that he was fed drugs to make him appear disoriented, and rumours were spread about his personal life in an attempt to discredit him. In 1999, an article about the case in the Canadan newspaper Globe and Mail resulted in a libel suit by Lee. [1] The suit was thrown out of court after Nair's counterclaim. [2]
Nair moved to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1995. Upon the death of his wife, Avadai Dhanam in April 18, 2005, it was noted that the then terminally-ill former president Wee Kim Wee had sent condolences just two weeks before his own death. He passed away in Canada at around 12 noon SST on December 7, 2005.
