It was a picture that was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but it has elicited a uproar of comments by Filipinos attacking their own president, Benigno Aquino.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had posted this picture of ASEAN leaders gathering to take a group shot on Facebook with the caption, “Waiting to take the traditional leaders’ photo, but someone’s missing. #guesswho (smiley emoticon)”
The missing leader – President Aquino.
Many Filipinos were quick to condemn the “late” president’s supposed tardiness, while a handful weren’t too pleased with PM Lee for poking fun at Mr Aquino on a public platform.
PM Lee has been active on social media in a bid to engage more with the online community, and has other light-hearted #guesswho pictures in the past.
