This playful schedule cheekily suggests that from morning to night, there's only one man on the mind — the late Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding father.

From 9 AM until 9 PM, the daily agenda is dedicated solely to “thinking and talking” about him, as if his leadership, wit, and policies deserve round-the-clock reflection.

The humorous tone doesn’t just spark a chuckle, it subtly acknowledges the lasting influence of LKY’s legacy in Southeast Asia and beyond.

Whether it’s urban planning, governance, or just that legendary no-nonsense style, clearly, the man lives rent-free in many minds — all day, every day.
