Singaporean here. Not if we take the recent performance of our COVID task force into account — it's run by a bunch of bumbling ministerial clowns (one who might potentially become the next prime minister) that can't seem to agree which direction to take Singapore, end up toeing the middle line between endemic and COVID zero, and wrecking everything including the mental health of most Singaporeans staying in their small public flats.
Lee Hsien Loong's main involvement during the pandemic/endemic (Singapore still can't decide how to treat COVID) seemed to be encouraging people, especially the elderly, to get vaccinated.
in retrospect, LHL distancing himself from covid policy is pretty brilliant/convenient, as whoever proves a credible leader through this mess will have demonstrated the qualities we'd probably want for PM
They implemented a unnecessary, ineffective lockdown for two months and a mandatory nationwide tracking system (which differs wildly from the open sourced version they published) without any published efficacy data, went back on their word regarding data collected (without any zero consequences) and will now be using that data for future “policing”.
i respect him more for how he conducts foreign policy. professional, eloquent and incisive, IMO he really brings the best side of our country to the international table.
My country's current PM is a school teacher but unfortunately doesn't seem to bring any of the good traits associated with that to the country. The last PM (and who will be PM again soon) was a doctor. Unfortunately he was is just a media/attention addict who won't tackle any big issues like housing costs or homelessness.
