This man is Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Son of Lee Kwan Yew. I have never seen a political leader being so much respected and supported by their own people. Yes, Singapore is a FINE(Penalty) Country. But you will be surprised how much faith people have in Government and leadership. When Prime minister addresses important issues, I often see responses like "Please do NOT worry Prime Minister. We will get through this together." This is a rare scenery to see people comforting their leader, NOT the other way around.
I still remember back in 2015 when his father Lee Kwan Yew passed away, how thousands of people mourned over his death. The sense of sadness was so deep, you could feel it in every corner of Singapore street. I am a Korean but I too was deeply saddened by people's emotion at that time.
Lee Hsien Loong is different from his father. While Lee Kwan Yew was criticized for being too restrictive, Lee Hsien Loong is more open and down to earth. He makes sure that messages are communicated with citizens. He makes sure that his people are protected and provided. And he doesn’t hesitate to make himself available to fellow Singaporeans and enjoys mingling with crowd like a child.
Not only his personality is charming and friendly, he puts his heart and soul into running this country and Singaporeans are aware of that. Many Singaporeans are comfortable about his political decisions. It seems this strong relationship and loyalty between citizens and political leader makes the country as a whole incredibly strong especially in chaotic times like now. People feel safe in Singapore. People feel that Singapore is one of the most safest places in the world. I have seen people calling him a Hero of the nation. And this does NOT come without an effort.
I have every confidence that Singapore will get over this pandemic without too much of damage. Continue to have faith and follow the guidelines. Let's get over this together as one. SG United!!
(I sound like a Singaporean.. lol. I am just a Korean living in Singapore. But let's beat this together anyways!! =) )
