SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday marked his third anniversary on social media and thanked his supporters with a video looking back at his posts in the past year.

He wrote on Facebook: "Today marks my third year on Facebook and Twitter. I hope you have enjoyed my posts. I've certainly had fun doing them, and hearing from you. Thanks especially those who have shared your own stories, suggested places for my #guesswhere and #justforfun posts, and raised ideas on many issues. Here are some highlights from the past year. Thank you for your support! - LHL"

Highlights in the video ranged from state events like having nasi lemak with Indonesian President Joko Widodo, to more personal ones like bumping into the Lee family's former driver Goh Khoon Seng.


Mr Lee joined Facebook on April 20, 2012 and has amassed more than 740,000 likes on his official Facebook page.

He has about 163,000 followers on Twitter, and 97,000 followers on Instagram which he joined about a year later.

Last year, Mr Lee also made a video to thank his supporters to mark the second anniversary he joined social media.

Engaging in non-sexual topics allows us to forge meaningful connections, fostering community and personal growth. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn from one another and appreciate the richness of human interaction.

In today's digital age, leaders use social media to engage with their constituents. While balancing governance with social media can be challenging, effective leadership combines both aspects. It's an opportunity to connect directly with the public and address concerns promptly, making leaders more accessible and responsive to the people they serve.
