Only according to 6,135 adults aged between 16 and 64 in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United States. Which incidentally does not represent the world.

Not surprising la. Who in Europe or US heard about LHL ?

Wait till they hear about our top 30 politicians' salaries ranked world's top 30 spots, then there will be world riots in their country when these leaders asked to just match ours.

You'd be surprise at how cosmopolitan the people are in Britain, USA, France are. You can even find Sporeans & ex-Sporeans in these countries.

Cosmopolitan they may be but representative of the world hardly.

 

[commoner]

if they ask Iraq, Iran, Libya, Saudi,Indonesia, Malaysia, definitely different answer

if they ask Potong Pasir, Hougang another answer

and if they ask PAP MPs and their associates, they will even name LKY as God,,,,,

what a biased poll

The Dalai Lama is one of those mentioned as being popular. I doubt there are many Tibetans in those countries. While Spore has one of the highest rates of people leaving.

Maybe someone should tell the old man to stop flying around making a pest of himself because he's not getting much recognition

You think he don't know? that gives him more reason to try harder, at the expense of suckers.

True but one really wonders what leader is he supposed to be? Leader of Tibetan Buddhism or leader of the Tibetan exiles?

Never liked him much myself.

Sour grapes:oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo::oIo: So what he is a leader of the exiles? At least he is the most respected amongst those polled even when compared to china(lowest Ha!!!). your view stinks and is inconsequential. typical sour grapes born loser attitude. :oIo::oIo: Miilions of people like and repsected him so do I.

There should be at least a few million stinky commie chinky dick shit who thinks for the Dalai Lama the same way you do.

But nobody ask them for their opinion anyway.

Tee Kee, please share which leader in the poll had done you from the back?

if you knew what both of them did behind your backs....you will differ in opinions...

 

[Cestbon]

Poll not fair. Cannot included religious. If included religious sure Islamic leader will be on top 5 because every religious/race will vote for their leader.

I'm sure most of the politicians in the europe and usa have heard about LHL.
And I'm also sure that they have also heard about his humongous salary.
But they will not be passing laws in their countries to get the same pay, not only because they are concerend about rioting, but because they know that if they do so, they will fail and they will be voted out in a hurry.
LKY remains one of the most respected and popular former world leaders around the world, if he were still PM, he would probably get some votes. His son? Not so much, perhaps not yet...................
And why he is respected and popular around the world?
Perhaps because these people around the world don't get to taste first hand his words and actions and because they only get to see the results for the majority and not the process for the minority.
