George Yeo certainly deserves a better and more credible and qualified interviewer as this yahoo chap based some of his questions on one sided unreliable sources!

[naanyangdiaries]

The interviewer is slow at trying to get what Mr Yeo was trying to say. Mr Yeo already said that he was neither in agreement nor denying what Tucker Carlson said, he was simply intrigued by the comment from Carlson supporting the Chinese. The interviewer clearly has a biased view in his head and could not get it out. NYT a credible media? Oh please.

Mr Yeo offers many valuable perspectives as usual. Thank you Yaoo News for organising this interview.

Mr George Yeo is as brilliant and gracious as ever. Always an officer and a gentleman. Proud to have had him as our Foreign Minister. Makes me wonder how such a brilliant minister could have been unseated by a thinking public. I know he will always have the utmost respect of all Singaporeans.

The young journalist, western-educated, is no match for his wise taoist elder. Completely outclassed.

[edwardtan]

NYT creditable media? any western media when talk about China we can feel the bias lol

[vivektnl]

inadequate interviewer, the mood, the tenor, and the quality of questions, leave much to be desired

[bearbearcutecute]

With grace and gratitude, he took upon himself to accept the electoral defeat in 2011 by giving the final press conference ALONE. What a leader! What a gentleman! Respect, Sir George Yeo! 🙏

This Nicholas Yong guy is so out of his depth it's almost painful to watch. Get a better interviewer next time.

[JennyMan]

A casual observation of the body language. Mr Yeo, such a prominent politician, he sat with his legs firmly on floor and arms resting on high thighs, serious and honest. Being responsible to what he said. While the interviewers fold his legs with one arms resting on the table. Casual and relaxed and it appears he takes this interview quite lightly. Mr Yeo should scrutinise his interviews and didn't waste his time.

Yong: "NYT, credible media outlet". LOLWUT? hahahahaha

[jeremyt]

Yeah other commenters are right, interviewer isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

[aleekamui]

The interviewer has been reading lots of Western Media it seems ...

[toontwee]

named as Mr George Yeo is brilliant enough to quote Ex-Foreign Minister is not necessory

[junglstory]

this is a great case study in watching a pre-schooler interview a professor

[greatasia]

This angmoh kia is really too shallow! NYT is credible?! For him, angmoh must be really tua kee! Ha ha ha!

[lewekim]

The Interviewer looked arrogant. The way he calls Lee Kuan Yew. Where is the Mister? Act as though he is the next Charlie Rose. Be humble Mr. Interviewer!

[noneone]

58:45 that joke about amaricans strong "advocate" for chinese muslims was originated from chinese social media. quite accurate and lucid😂😂😂

[oldtabrough]

I totally agree with him. Some of the FTs that I met thinks that we owe them. Ya ya papaya

[bellybutton]
