Lee Hsien Loong has been trying to soften his image since he took office.
Two examples: the press ceasing use of military ranks for all politicians (I remember him being addressed as Brigadier-General (Ret.) before), and his wearing of soft pink business shirts whenever he has to make an address.

You have to looks things in perspective. He did way better in almost every metrics as compare to neighboring countries. Show me which EU countries did better in Covid. I would like to see your benchmark.

Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand are neighboring, and they've had fewer deaths per capita. (Taiwan has had seven deaths on a 24M population!) [0] But that isn't the point I made. Do you think Singapore under LKY would have performed significantly differently in its response to such a health crisis? I don't.

"Neighboring countries" is not the EU. You also can't compare island countries with smaller populations to large land locked ones. Taiwan and New Zealand are probably the best comparisons

vietnam n thailand did way better...
There was a TV interview in mid-00s in which the airhead interviewing LHL was really curious about how mad he must have been that Goh had led Singapore for a few years before he took over, and he grew more and more embarrassed as he assured her repeatedly that no, it hadn't been any sort of insult. Hilarious.
