I firmly believe that Li Hong Yi has achieved his current position through his merit and capabilities. I have confidence that the Singapore government's decisions are not influenced by family connections, and they wouldn't entrust crucial responsibilities to him solely because of his surname. The world is full of opportunities for intelligent and capable individuals like Li Hong Yi. Singaporeans should appreciate his commitment to improving the lives of the people instead of pursuing opportunities to establish the next unicorn in the business world.

What makes you say that? Do you have proof of what you claim. Please share with us. Thanks.

I found him a 'confusion'. His sharings are everywhere....

[@unclegood]

Brilliant, under appreciated heroes of the country. those that critisize, hopefully you have done much for the country

[@Alfie286]

he sounds like his father but at 2.5x speed

[@xiaoyangshawnhuang1251]

Impressive and very good insight about the challenges, feel the enthusiasm! :)

[@777dawei]

Very impressive and the enthusiasm about making an impact to the world is infectious! Brilliant mind and does have shades of his famous dad, maybe mom too lol

[@franciscody9622]

Word salad. Will what he says give Singaporeans the promised Swiss Standard of Living? If not, then it is irrelevant.

[@bennysamuelkoh9463]

Has a shade of his grand dad side way

[@tongfattho6913]

Exciting projects in the pipeline... distributing and administratering government subsidies to those who need them. Looking forward to e-vouchers, e-discounts and e-rebates can reach out to those who need them.

[@iPod487]

I was skeptical of this guy born with a silver spoon. Then i stumbled onto this video. He could be right and do wonders with the education and skills he possesed, and most importantly, the powers/connections he inherited.

[@franciscody9622]

When are Singaporeans going to get their "silver spoon"? Ministers and top civil servants already got their with their million $ salary - the highest on the planet.

[@Jack-hy2ki]

​@@franciscody9622they deserve the pay.

[@kitty2527]

Power corrupts. Just look at their own family. All broken up.

[@BeachBoi1000]

Gov has more influence and a wider spread. You can do more things, especially you have the backing. Private sector is more narrowly focus on profit making.

[@impopquiz]

Govt usually hv to justify every cent and also easy for the country’s people to use, especially for the non IT savvy. A few more “obstacles” to hop thru.

[@dtang3288]

Great conversation if he stop using 'like' a zillion times!

[@UltraUber]

This like word is being overused all over Singapore's young generation for some weird reason.. I can't continue with the video just because of that.

[@dtang3288]

Seriously he should go for speech therapy if he wants to engage in public speaking.

[@mkngpauline]

This is how young Americans speak and as most American culture, it spreads all over the world, sad.

[@michaelleong2582Quartermaster]

PAP need people like you. The goverment should be lead by young aspiring people instead of so many oldies MP freeloading on PAP platform. Way to go Hongyi hope you become PM of Singapore in the near future and do your father LHL proud.

[@johnwong157]

Would be so much better if he didn't say "like" a million times!

[@dtang3288]

You're right .... why nowadays almost every one using 'like' a zillion times when speaking. Annoying!!!

[@victorlee2398]

What is his name in Chinese

[@exploringapis4495]

he sounds like Lee Hsien Loong

[@StArLiTe5691]

He laughs like LHL too!

[@thisandthatguy1156]

On the point of scammers, are there ways to trace them down? I don't believe there's a huge pool of talented scammers. They might be someone whos expert in security.

[@johntruth1004]

shouldn't govTech come under IMDA?

[@simroysten7963]

Is he a offshoot of the Lee Family?

[@janicetan4626]

The Prime Minister's son

[@goldberg7334]

like like like. stop saying like !!!

[@johnwong157]

Haha, that put me off too😂

[@dtang3288]

Every other word he utter is 'like' .... Really annoying!

[@fanjipani6677]

Do you know who is Li Hong Yi's father & mother?

[@dhinannambiar9888]

do you know who is his Grandfather?

[@rpgbb]

Lee Kuan Yew was a prominent member of the triads. Can see easily Singaporeans are low class with dirty money

[@DonYang73]

I think, it would be better for this chap to stay behind the scenes, its really tough listening to him.

[@htthach]

I think you should get your microphones fixed.

[@rpgbb]

He’s a child of Nepotism, working for Daddy

[@crystalyi1759]

Hy laugh like his grdpa lky.

[@franciscody9622]

One of the "open governmemt products" Singaporeans are not likely to see is the "whole truth" because of the lack of openness and transparncy of the government.

[@Jack-hy2ki]

Even the gov in most cases they are open and transparent, u oppy IB will say they r not or even say the datas r fake.

[@lianchyeang]

Which one? Dare to write must dare to say it.

[@franciscody9622]

Really?

[@ongernie7216]

His cousin outshine by a distance.

[@franciscody9622]

But not enough "energy" from politicians to give Singaporeans a First World standard of living despite being paid the highest salary on the planet.

[@Jack-hy2ki]

Hahahaha. Say the oppy IB. Oppose for the sake of opposing. Not a bit grateful.

[@franciscody9622]

For Singapore "open government" is an oxymoron. The Government led by his father is not open and transparent. That is why there is no real accountability. Its "ownself check ownself" is a joke. Hongyi should talk his parents before talikng about "open government". It does not exist in Singapore. Also, what is the point of "open government" if there is no openness and transparency.

[@khtay8731]

Francisco, I guess Since Your Only Priority is Open Govt, that's why San Francisco is now looking better?

[@franciscody9622]

Proud of what? High prices with stagnant wages? Over-priced public housing? "Flaky" economy?

[@impopquiz]

Which country ru comparing to? 😅

[@Jack-hy2ki]

Stagnant wage maybe u r incapable to get a pay raise. Public housing price u oppy IB only look at re-sale price. SG economy is doing better than US and many other 1st world country.

[@franciscody9622]

@@Jack-hy2ki Comparing countries is a dubious exercise. You can always find a worse country than where you are living unless you are in Afghanistan or Ukraine.

[@leanne2330]

Not true lah. V good money making in the last few years... Maybe u missed the boat. Amazing Singapore.

PAP trolls are out there in force

A lot of bootlicking here for the PM son.... 😆
