Thank you Mr Lee for you contributions and leadership as PM. Singapore has benefited much from the forward thinking of you and your team.

As long as we stay hungry, vigilant and united, we stand a good chance facing the challenges of the world.

Well Said Mr.Lee l❤️🇸🇬my small country

[lilianteo]

Lets get into "discipline" "firmly" with all the truths about Singapore & Singaporeans without much ado. Red represents every naked part of you.

[kennethshen]

Imperative social cohesion is really important for us singapore.

[sallyang]

Climate Change is really a teething issue. Hopefully, Singapore can tackle it successfully.

[gotmyonu]

Some hard truth... Cost of living will go And so will future GST!... TAKE NOTE.

Singapore will be even more expensive to live! I pity our future generations.

[jessiejames]

Our social stability and social fabric is fast tearing at the seams. Its degrading fast. Only eyes that do not want to see will pretend it isnt so!

[richardchee]

How much in the bank ? That is a relevant question. Not only does SGreans want to know that answer. Singaporeans also want to know how much your wife is paid as Chairman of the biggest Sovereign Wealth Funds of Singapore. SGreans whose money is being managed by her has a right to know how much she is being paid. It is ludicrous to keep that a secret.

Sadly PM, Oxleygate is not resolved.
Will DPM do something about it?

[RajooPalaniappan]

[chanmye]

The strongest speech of our time in Asia.

[Medicine-wu]

Im proud to be a Singaporean.

This is my opinion.

Why Singapore succeed?

Because God bless our country.

Why?

Because, our leaders rooted prime attitudes to the citizens:( in random order) :

1. We respect each other religion, cultures and colours.

2. We uphold discipline, cleanlines, meritocracy.

3. We are pragmatic, yet generous, warmth and firm.

4. We are not extreme nor loose, but in between, modest.

5 We are small but big hearts.

6. We are rational, not emotional.

7. We don't highlighted our differences, but our similarities.

8. Our differences does not apart us, but unite us because we see differences as strength.

9. Our visions are far, our mission are noble.

10. We chosed the right leaders, i.e., generally honest, kind hearted. Clarity in their mind. They knew God sees clearly what's inside their mind and hearts.

*There are more but these 10 are the least.

*All these 10 does not contradict the holy scripture but complement it, and again that's the reason we are blessed.

"MAJULAH SINGAPURA"

[MyHanck]

Thanks PM Lee for your leadership. We now look forward to the new leadership.

Singapore is successful because of many factors, mainly it's locations, high cpf saving, low corruption, citizens who have strong discipline n willing to follow the laws n rules of society, leaders who can plan ahead, n mobilise citizens to sacrifice the immediate needs for a better future .Going forward, if citizens reach a point where it is too painful to carry on to bear the sacrifices, then problems will arise.Leaders, if continue to take more remunerations, n give less to citizens, n corruptions being to erode in society. Singapore will be in great trouble.
