Lee Hsien Loong has projected himself and Singapore's image well at an interview with CNN during his attendance of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The PM of Singapore has shown humility by making the unprecedented move to reduce Ministerial salaries, thought to be an unthinkable concession in the past.
He has treated tricky questions on international relations, income disparty and his personal / family succession issues in a diplomatic and relaxed manner.
It is often said that the best time for a leader to retire is when he is at his best and not to overstay his welcome and become a nuisance. However, at this point in time, it appears that no one has developed the calibre and charisma to win the hearts of Singapore voters to place their confidence in a post-Lee successor.
