1. Putin

Worst of all, Jokowi and Aung San Suu Kyi also lose to Duterte.
Philippines should be cumming with joy to report that they have the most POWERFUL man in SE Asia.

Looks like you are getting personal again Miss. There is no need to be on this list to do a good job for the country or people or didn't you know that?

President of USA is normally No 1. Now he is not. How USA has fallen.

It is also more meaningful to judge a country given the number of politicians and businessmen in the list.

Top 3 Countries
US - 31
China - 6
S.Korea - 3

This proves that malays are mostly peaceful but were antagonised by immigrant communities to go amok.
This also proves that chinese are arrogant bastards ( i did not say this but the list more or less conclude it) and war monger.They deserved to be raped and pillaged by their own kind,the mongols and the japanese.

The world's highest paid politician is not the most powerful? Not even in the top 100?

 

[ckmpd]

If LHL pays himself so much salary, why is he not the most powerful? Not even in the top 100? Then how did he justify his salary?

The world's highest paid politician cant even get nine of his military vehicles released! And HK snubbed him by refusing to answer his questions! HK is doing what he did to Workers Party! Retribution!

Yes, according to PAP MP Lim Wee Kiak LHL can tell Trump, Putin, Xi, Duterte off.

LHL believed Lim Wee Kiak's praises and tried telling Xi off. The rest is history and SG got nine Terrexs detained. What an idiotic MP and PM

I look forward to Duterte calling LHL SOB or SOW and showing LHL his middle finger.

I think LHL is a pussycat in the presence of the President of once Asia's sick man

South of Malaysia. Go google.

Looks like a personal vendetta against LHL spilled over to this forum. Of course under the pretext of championing Singaporeans.
