When Najib spends "a laid back Sunday" with his family the cameras are there ...and you can see it is NOT a "laid back" Sunday outing...it is a photo opportunity and for Najib it is a "look at me I am the PM" outing while for his family it is a "look at us we are the PM family" outing. And of course the restaurant owner is told the day before that the PM is coming to have a "laid back" Sunday lunch at his place! Duh!
Now look at what happens when the Singapore PM decides to have a "laid back" moment...or moments......no cameras following his every move ...just stills or images of him doing his "thing" captured by ordinary Singaporeans who saw him among their midst.
When Lee Hsien Loong wants to have chicken wings...he waits in line just like everybody else....it is not a photo opportunity...it is just another Singaporean wanting to get some hawker food. He stands there humbly and fellow Singaporeans knows him well enough to understand that he expects no special treatment. They do not bother him too much and give him his space. Respect and reverence for their leader!
