I mean Barack Obama generally has a wholesome image and makes positive speeches to everyone including Singapore, pretty much anything that he say is politically correct and hard to find fault. Other than a state dinner he hosted for LHL, I don't think there was much interaction between him and Singapore personally.
Politically, he seems to be an average leader with hits and misses. Domestically as usual the Dems love him and the Reps hate him which is pretty much what happens to most US presidents. I can understand he has a favorable image among Singaporeans, but most admired person in the world? What's up with Singaporeans?
As for Michelle Obama that's even more bizarre. Other than maintaining a good public image as a black female and former first lady and engaging in all the usual good causes expected of all first ladies, why on earth do Singaporeans think she's the most admired female? What exactly did she do that benefited Singaporeans?

He picked RK, and now RK said he told her to take a big fat lie to the grave wor.
How not to admire such a GREAT man!

Even if he told RK to lie, so what..
RK is an adult with her own judgement.. If someone tell her to lie and her agreed to it and things goes wrong, can she turnaround and blame the one who told her to lie?? At work, how often are we told by our bosses, maybe not to lie, but don't tell the truth or partial truth.. You do your own assessment, if by doing that, it won't get into a situation where your job is at stake or even worse kena sued, you will probably do it.. But if it will cause you your job or end up kena sued, will you still follow what your boss say? NO..
While making PS the most admired politician BS, but if PS can get out of this without a scratch, he will be the one of the few where govt tried to 'fix' him, but failed to do so.. This will bring him to the same level like LTK and CST.. Even
