Last week, Singapore Eye posted an article soliciting photos with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on the whole network, hoping to make Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's thanks more concrete!
After the article was issued, I received a lot of letters from friends in the background, and I was particularly touched that each of the friends who wrote the letter was very enthusiastic to tell us the story behind the photo, and one of the "Singapore Eye readers" Liang Yuzhi even said that he wanted to frame this photo with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Let's take a look at who has been photographed with Lee Hsien Loong at every time of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's reign.
2012
In January 2012, China's well-known social media influencer "Brother Excellence" attended the Chinese New Year gathering in Singapore and took a photo with Lee Hsien Loong.
2013
Teo Chunhua has been awarded the Public Service Medal (PBM) by the President of Singapore for his outstanding performance in the community. After the ceremony, he took a photo with Lee Hsien Loong.
2014
It is not uncommon to encounter Lee Hsien Loong in public places in Singapore. However, there are fewer people who take pictures with Lee Hsien Loong at his home.
During the Spring Festival of 2014, Echo and her husband went to Lee Hsien Loong's house to pay New Year's greetings. At that time, she was still pregnant with her daughter, so it was no wonder that Lee Hsien Loong, who had been "giving birth" to Singaporeans all day long, was smiling from ear to ear.
2015
On March 7, 2015, independent designer Ceci Gao had the honour of handing over a medal to the Prime Minister when he visited an event in the community of Kebun Baru.
2017
In February 2017, Will said: "At the Prime Minister's New Year Garden Party at the Presidential Palace, I saw the Prime Minister surrounded by everyone, and I thought I should not go there to join in the fun, so I took out my phone and wanted to take a selfie." I didn't expect Premier Li to stand still and look at me very cooperatively, which is really considerate! ”
On 14 May of the same year, on Sian Chay's Warm May Thanksgiving Mother's Day, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, as the MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC and Advisor to Grassroots Organisations, officiated at the ceremony.
On November 7, Wang Jie and Professor Ho, the founders of Mr. Wang's Academy, took a group photo with Lee Hsien Loong at a charity event.
2018
In 2018, Zhang Ni and Liu Fangxin met Lee Hsien Loong in Toa Payoh and took a group photo.
2019
January 2019,Grace小军在Marina at Keppel Bay偶遇李显龙。
When Feihong participated in a sports event at Hong Lim Park, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong came to cheer on each team. She said: Premier Li is very nice!
While traveling in South Korea, Lee Xiaomin, secretary of Singapore's Jinjiang Association, met Lee Hsien Loong by chance.
Lee recalled: "At that time, Lee Hsien Loong was wearing a shirt of SIT, and now my daughter is studying at SIT. What a coincidence! ”
2022
In 2022, ElsielC met Lee Hsien Loong at an outdoor event for toddlers looking for eggs in the middle of summer by the pond in the Botanical Gardens. "Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong happened to be passing by and stopped to take pictures of us," she said. ”
In the same year, at a community event in Ang Mo Kio, Sim Jie posed for a photo with Lee Hsien Loong. Lee Hsien Loong smiled brightly.
Let's take a look at a few of the "double" or even "multiple" group photos.
President of Singapore Tianfu Association, Du Zhiqiang
In 2001, the president of the Singapore Tianfu Association, Du Zhiqiang, took a group photo with Lee Hsien Loong at the general election site.
Lee Hsien Loong was still the deputy prime minister at the time. It was not until August 12, 2004 that he officially took over the prime minister's baton from Goh Chok Tong.
In 2014, Lee Hsien Loong held three luncheons at the Presidential Palace to meet with Chinese community leaders to discuss Chinese community issues.
In this photo, you can see Zhou Zhaocheng, Huang Baohua, Cai Tianbao, Xiao Zuoming, Zhong Shengjian, Du Zhiqiang, Chen Yifu, Zeng Fuqing, Guo Mingzhong and other leaders of the Chinese community. The photo was signed by Lee Hsien Loong and given to To Chee Keong.
Later, at the Prime Minister's Spring Festival Garden Party this year (2024), Du Zhiqiang took a photo with Lee Hsien Loong again.
Du Zhiqiang also took a group photo with Prime Minister-designate Lawrence Wong.
"Singapore Eye" reader Chen Min
Singapore Eye reader Tan Min said she has been living in the Ang Mo Kio constituency for 19 years since she arrived in Singapore, from Hainan, China, and has seen Lee Hsien Loong at many events.
The first time Chen Min was photographed with Lee Hsien Loong was in 2013 while exploring the countries of Kampung Loong.
Later, in 2015, she took a photo with Lee Hsien Loong again during a tree planting event in the Ang Mo Kio community.
Singapore Eye Managing Director Koh Chun Yee
In 1997, Koh Chin Yee, then the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Public Relations and Public Information Officer, introduced the fire command and communication system on a fire truck to Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Twenty years later, in November 2017, Hui Zhenyi, as a Major in Civil Defence of the Combat Reserve, attended a reception for the police and Civil Defence personnel and took a photo with Lee Hsien Loong again.
At this time, Xu Zhenyi was as fat as two people, but Lee Hsien Loong's figure was still very good, which shows his self-discipline.
Raffles Junior College student Ji Hannan
In 2014, Lee Hsien Loong, a member of parliament for the Deyi district, presided over a fire drill in the district. At that time, he took the initiative to come and talk to Ji Hannan, a small resident of the district, and took a group photo.
In 2019, Lee Hsien Loong officiated at the Tak Yi Constituency Scholarship Presentation Ceremony. After that, he went around in circles to greet parents and students. This time, I met Ji Hannan, who had been promoted to middle school, and took a group photo again.
In January 2024, Ji Hannan, who was promoted to Raffles Junior College, once again received the scholarship from Lee Hsien Loong. This time, her father, Associate Professor Ji Yun, also took a group photo.
Former President of the China-Singapore Chamber of Commerce, Xue Baojin
Among so many readers of "Singapore Eye", Xue Baojin is probably the only one who has taken photos with the four generations of Singapore's prime ministers.
In 2006, the president of the China-Singapore Chamber of Commerce, Xue Baojin, took a photo with Lee Hsien Loong in his office, with the calligraphy "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, abstain from luxury and frugality" behind him.
Group photo with Lee Kuan Yew in the Cabinet Senior Minister's Office.
Group photo with Singapore's second President Goh Chok Tong.
Group photo with Prime Minister-designate Lawrence Wong.
One Singapore Eye reader said it was his happiness to be able to leave a picture with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Yes, he was lucky!
With Lee Hsien Loong stepping down as prime minister, I believe there will be more opportunities to see him in public places in the future.
