I always say I love LKY but I love LHL more ❤🇸🇬.. Thank you Mr Lee, can’t say enough how much I appreciate you and your dedication in taking good care of Singapore 🙏🙏🙏
A great leader. Humble, kind, wise and very respectable. Father and son are different in character, but both brings out the best in Singapore. Thank you sir for your service! Please enjoy your retirement days and the fruit of your labour!
PM Lee deserves all our respects and love. He has done his part for this country with all his heart, soul and effort and now he deserves all the rest and fruits of his effort now that it is time to pass the baton. We are very lucky to have 3 giants ( LKY, GCT and LHL) for our PM. Thank you PM once again.
heartfelt words 👍🙏
😂
I take off my hat to the highest display of statemanship by PM Lee Shien Loong. Competent and sincere. I am not a Singaporean, but just a neutral student of international politics but from the standpoint of a neutral observer without any stake in Singaporean politics I say kudos to you PM Lee, please accept my snappy salute as a manifestation of respect.
ONE OF THE BEST PM IN THE WORLD
Thank you Sir for all the hard work and dedication for bringing this nation to where it is today. As citizen we grateful for your leadership and hope the new team can continue to build on this strong foundation . May God bless Singapore
Thank you Mr. PM Lee for making Singapore a first class country in the world today. May God bless you and your family in the coming years.
Awesome speech .... I listen to his speech every year, after this year, going to miss his speech. Great leader. 🙂
We are very blessed to have Mr Lee Kuan Yew who laid a very strong foundation for Singapore. Mr Goh Chok Tong built on this to bring Singapore forward and you did an awesome job to enable Singapore to scale greater heights. Thank you very much for devoting your life to make Singapore exceptional!
Thousands thanks, Mr. Lee. It is honour to be a Singaporean. Thanks to you and the older teams leading Singapore in harmony and prosperous.... BIG BIG THUMBS to YOU... Wishes Singapore to have many many properous and peaceful years.....
I m very lucky to be Singaporean thank you Sir
When u arrived in Singapore?
Thank you PM Lee for the last 2 amazing decades, I'm proud to be Singaporean
Thank you My PM im from jurong east 🤵🌊🔑🌊🗝im follow The Low.📖📚Leaning more deep.
THAT IS STATESMANSHIP! Hail and salutes to the Republic of Singapore! Thank you Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong! And bless you all: you have created and nursed a political and social system which easily serves as a brilliant example for all peoples and countries to follow and learn from! As a German who had the good luck and honour to cooperate with Singaporeans I say: LET US LEARN FROM SINGAPORE - NOW!
Very good luck to the people and leadership of Singapore for the future.
"I wish our country could become as Singapore" (Lee Hiesn Loong's words)
I perceive his sincerity, humanity, capability, and wisdom. The people of Singapore are very fortunate.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️
LKY got rid of Strikes n Riots.
Under the Son; 1st Strike by CHINA FWs Bus Drivers n 1st Riot by INDIA FWs Burning Police cars in Little India.
LKY Got rid of CORRUPTION.
NOW Corruption even in CPIB. What a BLOODY Joke.
AMK TC Right under PM's Nose ALSO Got CORRUPTION.
CORRUPTION in NTUC.
Look at KOM Case of CORRUPTION; Light Tap on The Wrist for 73M CORRUPTION.
RIDOUT Fiasco.
TCJ " F**king " Populist n Affair.
Iswaran Corruption Investigations.
💰💰💰 Laundering.
Compare The times of LKY n his Son
There U Have It.
Wonderful 4G ADDICTED to 💰💰
WORST Is Yet To Come
Failed to see any. Care to enlighten? Thanks
😳😳😳😳😳😳
Not only is he a good leader, he is also a good son and and a good brother.
Thank you, PM Lee. Singapore and Singaporeans are very fortunate to have Mr LKY and you to lead our country. Again, thank you.
Empty
Promise
Thank you Mr Lee HL for dedicating your entire life to building this small but amazing nation. Proud to be a Singaporean.
Thank you sir for all the hard work in serving our nation. Whatever the critics may say, I still dare say you are the best we have for our time, and I thank God that you are here to lead us thus far. Here's wishing you a fruitful retirement.
I was a teenager, student & saw with my own eyes . It was Mr Lee Kuan Yew's sweat, tears & even his family money plus some of his close members who pulled out their resources to put Singapore on the map, after a very painful separation. Truly Singaporeans owe it to their founding Father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew for making Singapore, a tiny red dot, to become the 4th Top leading Country in the WORLD. 3rd world Neighbouring Countries such as Thailand, Malaysia & Indonesia really benefited from this Corruption Free Singapore. It's not a Christian Country, but God's favour will always be upon Singapore ONLY, I dare say, blessings flow to a Nation that looks into the needs of People, Environment, Animals & Climate Changes. Yes, the people of Singapore is lucky to have a government 1st. No leaders in Singapore lined up their pockets. They emptied their pockets to help to raise the people standards of living by stressing on English Education. Period.
Thanks for leading the country in good leadership quality
Thank you Sir!
Goosebumps at midnight, watching PM Lee's speech after a long day at work. Thank you Sir🙏
*Its obvious that SG is what it is remarkably so prosperous today is all because of the robustic and democratic ruling from the late LKY and PM Lee and all the PAP Leaders and the nation will always salute you*
Building a nation is not an easy feat and sustainability is even harder since one has to keep up with standards set by predecessors whilst having to juggle different challenges internally and externally. Thank you Sir, Mr PM Lee for your years of dedication and the sacrifices you made. Wishing you good health and many more good years ahead. Respect 👏🙏🤗🇸🇬
Thank you PM Lee for everything that you and your team had done for Singapore.
It is rare that a family produces both the father of a nation and also a true son that the country is proud of. Thank you, PM LHL
Rare ? Its not rare in North Korea Kim family
@@deschan2246 It is indeed rare. Nothing to compare w Rocket Man. Most politicians will keep 'milk' the nation for themselves. Just look at Marcos family in Philippines or even closer, Mahathir family and cronies in Malaysia. Lost decades are hard to recover. Sg did well overall. Be proud.
Bush?@@deschan2246
Mr. P.M. Lee, I would just like to convey my most heartfelt gratitude & thanks for all that you've done for S'pore and for us. I understand it's never easy to lead a nation, especially a vulnerable one like S'pore. I know you've come a long way and have learnt your lessons and have tried your best. Even though I'm sad to see you step down, I feel happy that the burden is finally off your shoulders!:)
😊Thank you PM!
Our love and respect for our PM. May God bless him with good health. ❤
Big Thank you to SG. PM Lee Hsien Loong's and Singaporeans. Yes, Left no one behind.
❤Thanks Sir.
Can’t wait to read his memoir. Hope he will write one. Let the Singapore story continues.
Thank You PM Lee for the strong foundation built for our nation.
❤Thank Sir.
❤Thanks Sir.
Foundation ???? 😂elaborate?
@@deschan2246 , there are many examples, such as stable Government, inclusiveness of labor union while making policies and decision that impact labor force, CPF scheme (one of the best in Asia), supporting lower income families .
@@gjaiveda when u migrate to Singapore? 😂
Very good May Day Speech
A great emotional and historic speech will be remembered for a long time as a guiding path for Singapore to excel in pursuit of continued growth and success for Singapore and Singaporeans. Lee family has made Singapore an examamplery nation by achieving unachievable results in a short span of time, which other nations could partially achieve in centuries. It's not a miracle. It's, in fact, the strength of the determination of our founding father and the support he received from the masses.
Blessings to you Sir.I am very thankful to you to move our Singapore together our people strongly to make a better nation.,with all your ministry.We went ups and downs but still standing strong. I strongly believe our nation n our people will be with you and your Ministry.One of the best policy our younger generations for their future education. I am impressed with your policies n l hope the other Singaporeans. Thank you.May God always bless you
and our nation.Thank you 🙏❤️🇸🇬
Proud to be singaporean and our chosen key leaders are always upright and dedicated

Thank you very much our great great pm for Singapore...thank you Mr Lee
What a great leader PM Lee has been for Singapore.......just like his father before him. How blessed you Singaporeans have been to have two such great leaders. May Singapore's success continue under Lawrence Wong's leadership.
Great leader a common name for Fat Kim North Korea. How appropriate
Mr.PM Lee, you have done your part for Singapore. Uniting everyone is not an easy job, especially the workforce, You have enlightened the Singaporeans, "Individually is a drop, together we are an ocean" Your service is still needed to guide the younger generation. Salute you from across the causeway.
Malaysian? Wat do u know about Singapore?
the "ocean" is shaped like a PYRAMID

Give one example !!!
Singapore is blessed to have great leaders. This is not by coincidence but a very clear mindset, careful and dedicated plan. Many congratulations to Mr. Lee Hsien Loong. You live your fullest life, just like your father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew!
Mr Lee Kuan Yew said he used all his life to build this nation. PM Lee used all his life to upkeep his father's legacy, developing the nation to be a stronger one. Thank You, Singapore is blessed to have both of you, taking care of us. We will continue to strive for excellence, the DNA imprinted in us.
@@huiling7947 A few good men!👍😁
Really? Care to give example of each praises u gave him. Ty
@@deschan2246 I think alot of these people and commentators with alot of thumbs up are ghost commentators with false likes.
As a non-Singaporean (from Europe) but living in Singapore i have to say: Thank you for your Service, it was an Honor to see and feel the positive vibe of this City. Great job, WELL DONE!!

Thank you PM Lee. You are your own man even though you had a big shoe to fill. You have proven over 20 years how great a leader you are. Mr LKY brought us together to the top. They say it is always more difficult to remain in the lead. You have done so and keep us on top. Thank you for your years of dedication. Singapore is exceptional including how we choose our leaders. Cheers to you and all the best to our next PM.

Thank you Mr. LHL we will miss you. May God be with you always.

He's not going anywhere anytime soon lah
Well done !!!
Without any doubt, a speech spoken by a man of political stature! Wishing him GOD's blessings as he retires as SG's PM.
A very good man
U know him personally? 😂
The PAP team has attained numerous global achievements and recognitions for s'pore. It's so obvious that PAP is the only competent and effective party in s'pore.❤❤
you love handouts?
Singapore could have been in doldrums had it not been this ruling party.
So competent until can screw each other
Yes…I am certainly proud to be a Singaporean! Proud also to have Mr Lee Hsien Loong as our prime minister
Did he give u Singapore citizenship without serving National Service? 😂
I'm not a Singaporean but hopefully one day I can visit Mr LKY house to admire the greatest man that ever live there.
LKY a great man with a great heart but his Haus is a simple Haus.
@@annasalado3283 is not the house but who been there and the historical present of Mr LKY.
It should become a museum if is not already.
Majulah Singapura! God bless Singapore.
As a GenX living through part of the country’s development, I can’t be more contented to have a roof above my head, food on the table and time for leisure now. ❤❤❤
Pls continue to pass on LKY legacy, striving on excellence to your next generation. Building the nation and upholding the standards require the efforts of generations.
Thank your Sir!!!!
PM looks truly happy & relieef...maa
Respect
I am a PR, soon citizen , tq Mr Lee 👍
If this happen in yr country, foreigners given citizenship freely by your government. Would u praise him ?😂
In Singapore you earn your residence or citizenship. It is not given and it cannot be bought.
@@deschan2246what do you mean giving freely? You know what most went through during the process? Let me ask then you, what have you done to deserve your citizenship?
Congratulations, Thank You for being part of us, building the nation together 🙏💗
got do NS?
Mr Lee Kuan Yew laid the foundation to make Singapore one of the most prosperous countries in the world. The political methodology he adopted may be questionable to some. But ultimately it is boils down to good governance to ensure political stability that remains the lynchpin for continuing economic growth to an island with no natural resources save top quality human resources within and without. Congratulations!
Beautiful quote “Postal code do not determined one’s destiny”
Thank you. 幸苦你了。
I am very proud to be Singapore thank you sir. God bless👏👏💐🥰
Thankful to be born in Singapore!
Thank you Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for all these years. You and your father have given Singaporeans everything, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and may you enjoy a good retirement and thank you for promising to be our Minister mentor so that Singapore will continue to thrive.Singaporeans are the luckiest people in the world..all because of everyone in parliament who did their very best. We are so very lucky.
Proud man standing.bravo!
It was my good fortune to be in the era of both LKY and LHL n enjoyed Spore's success n prosperity. Forever grateful. May God bless Mr LHL with good health😊
Majulah Singapura.His legacy comment,we as Singapore cannot fail as we dont have hinterland or natural resources,only a tiny island of 734.3km².
Well Said! It's an Island as a small-boat in a wide-ocean, PM LHL certainly a great captain of that small-boat keeping us afloat and towards greater horizon!
Majulah Singapura! Thank you PM Lee
Really a great heart touching speech. ❤❤

My respect towards this man is almost the same as to his father.
Well done Mr LEE and all other past leaders.
李家父子令人肃然起敬。如果在古代,PM Lee百年之后,他配享太庙。他的父亲李光耀先生也是享有同样的礼节,深受人民爱戴。一个国家的领导人就像是一个公司的CEO,好领导才能有好的业绩👍。
他是位忧国忧民的好总理。李家父子把他们的一生奉献给新加坡,我们实在很有福气!感恩,感恩!
Congratulations Singaporians! Thank you PM Lee.. You make we Asians feel so proud...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Proud? Share wat r u proud of?
So, so, so true ; mostly but not overwhelmingly. Most developing countries and many developed countries too can learn much from these time-tested wisdoms ladled out so openly. The examplary LKY would truely be proud of what he had left behind. Majullah Singapura ! ❤
done a good job . and the method of slow handover ensures we have good government
Oh my God! Hopefully, your retirement will help your health. I was nervous when I heard you ready to retire as PM, but not work. It makes me kind of relief. All the best for you, Sir.❤😢.
Thank you
The job of a PM is not easy, LSL looks tired. Rest well Sire, a big thank you from the entire Singapore for a job well done.
