What makes Singapore successful?
PM LEE: "Hard work and paranoia."
Also, kudos to David Rubenstein on interviewing him!
It may be better to delegate such responsibility.
The FX is not comparable.
Thank you Sir for the wonderful dialogue.
SG*United….. So Proud of our very own PM Lee Hsien Loong
Biggest problem and challenge we face in Asia now is the United States of America.
I am proud of singapore
If the relationship goes bad between china and US , why the US is asking or forces Singapore and other Asia countries to stop the relationship with China ? The earth people need peace , if the US is not leading the world peace but war , it seems something wrong or?
Well I think Singapore people have chosen the best one for their country. It’s not only a wise PM Lee but also the people from Singapore🌈
Keep it up your good effort 🇸🇬 ASEAN Nusantara Worldwide 💪👍 Mr. President, Sir Lee Hsien Loong
The answers are largely factual, diplomatic, humble in some aspects and direct.
Frankly, I wish PM Lee could have added one more statement regarding HK's National Security Law and that would be…
"It is the rightful prerogative of China & Hong Kong SAR to enact the National Security Law. Neither the government of USA nor of UK nor of any other has the legitimate & moral right to interfere."

As usual, PM Lee gives straight answers, clever arguments, and candid views.
In contrast to the big country narrow minded U.S Pompeo, Mr Lee is Acutely insightful and wise. We are proud of the prime minister.
I may at times have different views of our government the pap but I am very proud of our country and our PM is a great representation of what a little red dot can do for herself and for the region. We are friends with everyone and we follow the rule of law…majulah singapura…🇸🇬😷♥️💪🌹
