I love the Jazz analogy. Very true ☺️

[@markchan8110]

Mr Yeo, please come back. I think you are the most suitable candidate to be our next PM.

[@donaldjoseph3903]

Then Singapore will become pro China.

[@rudytrulytruly7467]

What??? He lost an election and left for Hong Kong. He was a soldier but he should fight to get it back.

[@rudytrulytruly7467]

@BlackpinkInYourArea A man must be made me steel. Just because you lost election this one time, you won't win back? You just dump Aljunied...sooner or later you will dump your own country. Not now, as you assume

[@rudytrulytruly7467]

@BlackpinkInYourArea if you can't do it properly for your constituency, it's day dream to do for Singapore. Dream on lah to George.

He was of PM Lee 's generation of leaders.

I sometimes think I was born in the wrong time and place, but it is great seeing ASEAN being successful.

[@dianardiansyah7708]

Indonesia, like it or not can have an overly inflated view of it self because it's a big, full of potential and a very capable country, if they can sort things up off course.

[@JKTProductionzIncNCo]

But for their population their county is small. So there is a hard cap to their potential power projection. Since like Japan they are going to be dependent on raw resources from others.

So we're Mr Magoo

[@pt20829]

Still neutral Singapore and ASEAN! 🙌

[@auricjaya]

Will there be a full feature video for this talk?

[@user-nq2sw6sg8q]

There is a voice broadcast in you tube about the full interview.

[@auricjaya]

@@user-nq2sw6sg8q Yes. I have listened to it. Thank you. 👍🏼

[@mnbr6884]

"Not even Indonesia"
Lol

[@alesh2275]

When George Yeo says “we” he more than often means “Singapore” rather than “ASEAN”

[@logic8673]

No, he truly means ASEAN. To succeed, and using ASEAN, SG cannot have an overinflated view of herself. Indonesia has given us the stability.

[@taipangwong356]

He now thinks he represents ASEAN. Karenpochi delusional thinking.

[@LonganLee]

Would George Yeo care to debate on Taiwan ? China does not own taiwan. Confident to debate with me?😅

[@MrJermson]

You think to highly of yourself. Stick to Bakchoy

[@LonganLee]

@@MrJermson you clearly can only resort to ad-hominen attacks.👏
