Mr Stanley was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukaemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, in late January and had been responding well to treatment. Responding to queries from Channel NewsAsia, DBS said after a brave fight with the disease, Mr Stanley died on Saturday morning at 8.45. His immediate family was by his side as he slipped away peacefully.

In a late night statement on Friday, DBS said Mr Stanley's condition took a sudden turn for the worse. It said after two rounds of chemotherapy earlier this week, his doctors believed his cancer was in remission. But his condition deteriorated rapidly on Friday. DBS said the unpredictability of the disease has led to severe complications due to infection. Mr Stanley had been on a leave of absence for 3-6 months since he was diagnosed with leukemia.
