Prime
Minister Lee Hsien Loong has launched his official Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/leehsienloong
PM Lee
welcomed netizens to his Facebook page with this opening address:
'Hello
Everybody,
Welcome
to my Facebook page! :-))
The
social media have changed the way we live, work and play, especially the way we
connect with one another.
Societies,
communities and governments all over the world will not be the same again.
Many of
my colleagues have been using social media, including Facebook.
They
have encouraged me to start my own Facebook page. Having watched them, I have
decided to join the fun.
I hope
you will find my Facebook page interesting.
I will
use it to talk about some of the things I am doing, and thinking about, but I
would also like to hear from you.
Let's
use this page to help shape ideas and understanding of what we can do together
to improve our lives.
As a
Facebook newbie, I would appreciate your advice, suggestions and, most of all,
your patience.
My
staff will help me maintain this page, but I will try to post as often as I can
myself.
I will
sign off my own posts with the initials 'LHL'.
If you
wish to write in Malay, Chinese or Tamil, please feel free to do so.
I hope
you like (and Like) what you read. Thank you very much for your support.
LHL'
As part
of the page's house rules, the page administrator wrote: "We hope you will
use this page to engage in meaningful and constructive discussions with Mr Lee
and with one another. Please share your opinions respectfully and courteously,
and refrain from offensive comments and personal attacks."
"We
may remove content and/or take preventive action against those who abuse the
page."
Aside
from Facebook, PM Lee also joined Twitter, using the handle @leehsienloong.
His
first tweet reads:
"Just
launched my Facebook and Twitter pages. Do visit me at
https://www.facebook.com/leehsienloong! – LHL"
Six
hours after his initial tweet, he had already amassed 3,545 followers.
He then
tweeted: "Thank u all! V touched by ur responses & encouragement. Good
night! - LHL"
Glimpses
of his personal life
His
Facebook page offers a glimpse of his personal life, with photos of important
milestones in his life highlighted on his Timeline.
He
posted pictures of himself including his days in primary school, his days
serving National Service, his graduation and his wedding.
Significant
events in his political career were also highlighted, with photos, as well.
Meanwhile,
a look at his 'About' section shows that Mr Lee likes reading, walking,
listening to classical music, and tinkering with computers.
While
his page is maintained by the Prime Minister's Officer, Mr Lee assured netizens
that post personally as often as he can, signing off with his initials, LHL.
