SM Lee Hsien Loong Earns Praise Again For “Perfect” Asian Squat While Taking Photos; Netizens Impressed By His Fitness Levels And “Solid Core, Hip Flexors & Quads”

During the trip, SM Lee also learnt more about cycads — an ancient group of plants dating back to the age of dinosaurs — strolled through the historic and cultural district of Sanjie Liangxiang, sampled local street food, and even tried his hand at weaving brocade before heading to Shanghai next.

But what really caught netizens’ attention was just how fit SM Lee is.

In the clip, SM Lee was seen photographing a pavilion at Qingxiu Mountain, effortlessly squatting down to get the perfect angle for the shot.

What impressed viewers even more was how he kept lowering himself between shots without needing to stand up for a break, eventually pulling off what netizens later described as the “perfect” Asian squat.

In fact, last year, SM Lee was also spotted doing the same thing to snap photos of a kid at the Kampong Glam Bazaar.

“Wah, that hinge and squat! Absolute respect,” one netizen commented, while another said they “couldn’t help but admire SM Lee’s fitness with that squat.”

A netizen also applauded SM Lee’s “strong legs”, and another commended him for his “solid core, hip flexors and quads!”

Earlier this week, the SM Lee also drew praise for flying to Nanning on a budget Scoot flight.

“If Scoot is good enough for him, Scoot is good enough for me,” one netizen remarked.
