No biting teeth, no sarcastic questions, no conflict question pitting one nation against other.... pure interview.

What a smart lady interviewing the PM of Singapore with lots of relevant questions!

[MegaCavatina]

It’s so fascinating to see a modern Confucian at work. This is the kind of dedication to upholding a harmonious society that is so sorely needed today. Thank you for a most interesting interview.

Intriguing conversation by two great personalities who understand both English and Chinese.

[gokuljayakumar]

Very insightful interview. PM Lee Hsien Loong is shown to be an efficient leader too, like Lee Kuan Yew. Singapore is an ASEAN country that is miles ahead of its neighbours and is a developed nation. It is highly significant globally, and developing nations must work closely with Singapore in the future.

What a beautiful wise woman, Zou Yun!

[ngcheehaojames]

Thank you PM Lee Hsien Loong for the beautiful and digitally savvy Republic of Singapore. I always like to reiterate that our country is the "Republic of Singapore" and not just simply "Singapore" anymore as our country is now for more than 50 years, a sovereign and independent country which is definitely (and hopefully) no longer any part of Malaysia (Malaysian's country). Thank you once again and take care. May God bless and protect you and the Republic of Singapore.

Both her mandarin Chinese and English are top notch ❤

The ' control tower' analogy expressed by PM Lee is an excellent strategy for global businesses to use Singapore as a regional hub to overseer the operations across Asia.

Leadership is about responsibility, not power.
I like leaders who are humble, responsibility, and clear minded about his country + the region.
