The Straits Times, the English flagship daily of SPH Media, has been serving readers for more than a century. Launched on July 15, 1845, its comprehensive coverage of world news, East Asian news, Southeast Asian news, home news, sports news, financial news and lifestyle updates makes The Straits Times the most-read newspaper in Singapore.
I like how LKY is such a team player that he requested for seat upgrades for his coach and physio as well on the flight home instead of just enjoying it himself.
Welcome home Kean Yew. Good job out there! Singapore is proud of you
Thank u Kean Yew for your hardwork and making SG proud. No stress, just do your best, as u did.
"I will do what I can to make Singapore proud." Well said!
Let it rest. He has done well. A Shocker, and we are very proud. It's done, don't overblow this. He may bomb in the next competition. Don't force him to swell up his head. Don't force him to say things that may make him hide in the future when he did not perform well. The proud and braggadocios will have their comeuppance. Let it rest.
A very simple,honest guy.
Although he did not play for monetary award. He only wanted Singapore to win. Hope Advertisers use him for Advertisement because he is so handsome.
Singaporeans will want to see his face on the advertisement.
We will surely support the advertisers.
You are funny
You have many more peaks to scale but you have youth and energy and the whole country cheering you on. Penang boy, Singapore hero and humble deserving world champ. 加油。
Congratulations!!! Another famous LKY on a World stage. Especially admire his humility after just becoming a world champion. Wish him even more success going forward. BTW, his singlish is ok lah.
penang boy he knew spore is best life spot
Singapore's gain Penang's lost....but congratulations to Kean Yew!Can see he is a humble n hardworking guy ...all my best wishes to him from a Penangite!
All are foreigners, immigrants and strangers on this planet earth. None of us own anything physically and had created anything physically out of nothing. Is a temporary world. Do what is best in the given privilege and opportunity. All the best to LKY !.❤.
Congratulations, Kean Yew!!!
Deserving winner.👍 Alot of hard work. Is really not an easy journey.
Please give him a break. How many interviews he need to do?
LKY is very inspirational! everyone should follow
the last question: whether S'porean or M'sian, we are joined at the hip. Check our common history (M'sian and S'porean history, of course), which many youngsters might not be interested in. Those who knew our history would understand what i am talking about 😂😁
Can ST change this sport reporter ? He don’t know how to ask questions. Just watch it. Pls some senior editors pls review this chap.
Got ask can already
I think LKY is a humble cool guy....
Welcome home and wishing you speedy recovery! 🙏🏼
well done Loh KY ! I'm shiok to your comments.
Besides Singapore, I am sure your parents are very proud of you, not only for your successes on the badminton court but also the humble, hardworking, thoughtful and pleasant young man that you have become!
When one drinks water, think of its source, be thankful for all the elements and processes(both past and present) that allowed one to enjoy that humble cup of water.
Enuf la..he won the title as a flash in the pan..nothing much to shout about..see if he can win the next tournament .
I have seen a lot of interview by tis reporter. He like to ask some redundant or to some extent. Stupid qns. Wat do u want LKY to say?
Why does the interviewing team make LKY hold the microphone in his hand, he wouldn't know how sensitive it is. End up with so much noise disruption.
I think it.s because they are sharing the mic...hence he.s holding it in the centre... they shld have just prepared 2 mics...quite lousy planning.
Actions speak louder than words. Your life outwardly portrayed or revealed what really are on the inside of you. This is what truly counts.
Loh Kean yew already aquire all the skills of champion all is needed to maintain his fitness. All the top players are equally good. The man with the best recovery will eventually truimph.
Congratulations LKY, Welcome Home man! 😁👏👏👏
Thanks Must try what u can do yrs part for yrs country you are singaporean now 👍👍🌈
It doesn't matter where he came from; what matters most is he is a Singaporean and, by his action, one can see that he is proud to be a Singaporean. Thank you to Loh Kean Yew for your hard work and determination to fly our flag high and let our national anthem be heard by the world!
As Mr S Rajaratnam, one of our Founding Fathers, once said, “being a Singaporean is not a matter of ancestry. It is conviction and choice."
🇸🇬🇸🇬
Congratulations
The LKY of badminton..
exciting new winner!
I wonder why reporter asked such foolish question about 'not really a Singaporean"??
Your grandma also not really a Singaporean what, born in china
Stayed at Sg since age 13 and have served NS, I think 99.9% of Sg people are proud of lky. Yes just focus on the game is the way.
Quality of journalism by straits times is questionable…..
😊😊Bravo!
Welcome home! Rest well. Your schedule seemed pretty hectic starting from Jan again.
It is Shiok to be a Shioker. Looking forward to more Shiokness from LKY in future tournaments.
Hope the audio can be better next time
Can the SG govt give LKY some prize money for his hard work ?? Edwin Tong please do something !!!!!!
do what, hello, hello,, reception no good on such matter one lah.. it's a duty to do sg proud as a citizen or athlete, but not a duty to serve with heart as an MP, all $ talk for them only to serve the nation.
Edwin busy with COP to shoot back Pritam...no time..just enough time to shake hands and take photo only.
@@Joel-kw7jf lol if you read enough you will have known that the World championships don’t have any prize money….. don’t be lame lah…
Too much of media time coverage would affect his training, just like Joseph schooling. Learn from Joseph schooling's time indiscipline !. Be very discipline and professional as far as training, health well being , massages natural food and time schedules are concerned.
Both champions we have (the other is Schooling)...are both handsome talented young men. Sponsors came pouring in...minsters from all sides want to take photos n shake their golden hands. Hope the ending is not similar to the water champion that we had and this shutter champion will continue to stay grounded, focused and hungry.
The ones who have issues with his nationality are our neighbors. We welcomed him wholeheartedly. I have never seen any of our athletes who kissed our flag as passionately as him. It showed his gratitude towards our trust and support for him!
🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 pride......
Finished watching 5:52
now badminton courts gonna be lagi higher demand than usual already after so much ceca create crowd too. now with Lky success, more gonna trend in badminton as well as Sg love TRENDing everything
Sorry to say that I'm not interested in badminton but he's really handsome😄😄😄
What a lousy reporter.
He is still raw.the china player is hard to be.
Err... He beat world no 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,11 this season. How is that raw?
And don't tell me they are all not on their best. This guy played with an ankle injury since the QF.
There are only 2 chinese shuttlers in the top ten, and he is beaten one of them. The other is out injured since June.
@@salbenrosli707 well said.
Not Malaysia ah? Ohhhh....
He done NS ok.
He certainly deserves to be sponsored..who ???
LKY????😂🤣😂🤣😂
what kind of interview with mask on? really a shame on the media... 👎👎👎
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
LKY put neighbours country shuttle shame!!
Home???? Let see where he return to during Chinese New Year 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Why does that matter?
