    I firmly believe that Li Hong Yi has achieved his current position through his merit and capabilities. I have confidence that the Singapore government's decisions are not influenced by family connections, and they wouldn't entrust crucial responsibilities to him solely because of his surname. The world is full of opportunities for intelligent and capable individuals like Li Hong Yi. Singaporeans should appreciate his commitment to improving the lives of the people instead of pursuing opportunities to establish the next unicorn in the business world.

    For Singapore "open government" is an oxymoron. The Government led by his father is not open and transparent. That is why there is no real accountability. Its "ownself check ownself" is a joke. Hongyi should talk his parents before talikng about "open government". It does not exist in Singapore. Also, what is the point of "open government" if there is no openness and transparency.
