Congratulations sir on becoming Prime Minister of Singapore. I spent 3 years of my life from 1982 to 1985 working for State Bank of India. My office was on 10th floor of DBS building. I used to stay at St Patrick's garden. Those were the best years of my life. I have many friends in Singapore. I wish you and Singaporeans all the very best. May God bless you all.

[@kimhuaktan2853]

You are so a humble person as a Prime Minister. May the people give you all the support to write the Story of this tiny nation in next 20 years.

While before the Investment in basic section to share, When you stand before this painting, you are deeply drawn into the scene it portrays. Perhaps you'd like to ask where this painting is located, but feel free to let your imagination take over. There's no charge for that! In the center of the canvas lies a vast grassland, lush and green, gently swaying in the breeze. The sky is a clear, vivid blue, adorned with white clouds, while sunlight filters through, casting radiant golden hues upon the land. In the distance, a magnificent mountain range stands upon the horizon, majestic and imposing, like guardians of nature. At the foot of the mountains flows a tranquil river, crystal clear and shimmering, as if softly whispering the tales of the land. In the center of the scene, a group of wild animals roam freely, including deer, rabbits, and foxes. They coexist harmoniously, creating a vibrant and harmonious tableau. At the edge of the grassland, a quiet village stands nestled against the hillside, its buildings blending seamlessly with nature. The entire painting is brimming with vitality, showcasing the grandeur of nature and the flourishing of life. Beholders can't help but marvel at the wonder and beauty of nature, as if transported to a pure and serene world, leaving them refreshed and reluctant to depart. While the journey towards securing funding for your project may have faced obstacles, your resilience and forward-thinking approach shine through. Your willingness to adapt and explore new opportunities is commendable, reflecting your determination and courage. Embracing the dynamic nature of life and remaining open to change not only propels you forward but also enriches your path with valuable experiences and insights. As you embark on this new chapter, I extend my heartfelt wishes for your success and fulfillment. May your endeavors be met with abundant opportunities, and may you navigate life's twists and turns with unwavering courage and optimism. Farewell for now, and I eagerly anticipate the possibility of our paths crossing again in the future. Take care. On my journey to secure funding for the project, I may encounter obstacles. However, I encourage myself to hold onto my belief in love, the planet, and dreams, living this life with no regrets. My determination to adapt and explore new opportunities showcases my resilience and forward-thinking mindset. When we acknowledge life's changes and embrace them, we not only move forward but also gain valuable experiences and wisdom along the way. Having the perseverance to break through the solid state of things, as living beings with dynamic energy, is crucial. If we rigidly define dynamics by what is static, the world will evolve into yesterday's decay. Therefore, any substance that loses its dynamic drive on Earth forfeits its intrinsic value. As we enter this new chapter, I extend my heartfelt wishes. I believe that overcoming adversity will inevitably bring forth formidable hurricanes; it's nature's way. If we perceive winning and losing as inherent to life, we will strive for victory and unlock abundant opportunities. May we continue to face life's ups and downs with courage and optimism. For now, let's bid farewell, eagerly anticipating the possibility of crossing paths again in the future. Until then, take care of your well-being, understanding the unity of self and others. 当你站在这幅画前，你会被它所展现的景象深深吸引。你也许想问画在哪里，你自己想就可以了，敬请的与您的思维发挥把， 没有收钱的，画面中央是一片广阔的草原，绿草茵茵，微风拂过，草叶轻轻摇曳。天空湛蓝如洗，被白云点缀着，阳光透过云层洒落在大地上，照耀出耀眼的金黄色光芒。 在远处，一座壮丽的山脉屹立在地平线上，巍峨而壮观，仿佛是大自然的守护者。山脚下是一条宁静的河流，清澈见底，水波粼粼，仿佛在轻柔地诉说着大地的故事。 画面中央，一群野生动物自由自在地游荡着，有鹿、有兔、有狐狸，它们和谐共处，构成了一幅和谐而生机勃勃的画面。在草原的边缘，一座小村庄安静地伫立着，房屋依山而建，与自然融为一体。 整幅画面充满了生机和活力，展现了大自然的壮美和生命的蓬勃。观赏者不禁感叹大自然的神奇和美丽，仿佛被带入了一个纯净而宁静的世界，让人心旷神怡，流连忘返。

[@vulcanken1273]

Mr Wong don’t need to glorify the performance of past era of good leadership and good times where the elderly have given their lives to contribute to the country’s progress. From this moment forward under your leadership the people have expectations and ambition to support you to lead the country to a new era of economic propensity, effective social cohesion and better opportunities for locals to excel expand personal potential to create a healthy life balance and gain greater individual respect and dignity.

[@RichardMas]

He is Deputy PM , Mr Lee is the PM

[@ravenusaugustus7129]

Though his governing style is not evident yet, he does have that kind-looking face, not to mention very bright.

[@siewhiangeunicelim5229]

You will know someone only later when the true character will surface. For now, I will look at what makes your governing of Singapore different from Lee's. Are you an open and transparent government, or will you remain the same as the Lees? You have asked the Singaporean to help you write the next chapter of Singapore's History. Since you were born after independence, the Pioneer, Merdeka, and Mahjulah generations have built a society that has progressed regardless of race, language, or religion since 1965. We hope the next generation can achieve and move forward with you.

[@thuhninmonhlaing]

I was once an outstanding scholar student of the medical school in my country, gaining lots of motivation, self-confidence and determined consistency to become a president of my country one day. But my dream had fallen apart when the military sieged a coup in 2021 and drag our country to the bottom literally. Now my colleagues are imprisoned , some chose to fight the junta back and cascading civil war is inevitable now. The more the bad situation happened in my country, the more I envy Singapore's own prosperity. Good luck mister PM.

What happened to your name? Why did you drop the Chinese name part in your swearing in ceremony? LKY dropped the Harry part but you went the other way.

He's Christian. LKY is not.

[@adrianchan1535]

He could have used both his Christian and Chinese names during the swearing in.

[@chrishenniker5944]

LKY didn’t want to sound like a dodgy south London used car salesman. Also, he understood that you should never call politicians by their first names.
