Given the right circumstances (like hiding behind the computer away from face-to-face interaction), Singaporeans can be a pretty funny bunch.

On a special live TV programme, Ask the PM, on Channel NewsAsia (CNA) earlier this evening, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong responded to a stream of questions posed to him via Twitter by everyday folk.

As always, CNA filtered the questions and raised the pertinent (i.e. boring) ones on air and in the process, skipping over the many witty and thought-provoking queries that never saw the light of day.

Until now.

Here are 18 questions that Singaporeans are not to shy to ask PM Lee:

1. Why do we make do with Resorts World Sentosa only?

2. Even if he did, he will still say 'No'.

3. This question is a test of diplomacy and the strength of international relations.

4. Sometimes there is a need to revisit the past. Oh yeah, whatever happened to Wong Kan Seng?

5. If he says "Yes", he will be deemed unfit for the job. If he says "No", he will be deemed unnatural. Damn.

6. Luckily the programme was at night.

7. Interesting community question.

8. This is not a question. This is a command.

9. Definition of cute is "ugly but adorable".

10. This question is to test PM Lee's foresight.

11. Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

12. Criticisms are welcomed.

13. No point playing nice.

14. And then things start to go downhill from here.

15. Like really go downhill.

16. Although this seems quite a fair comment.

17. Problem with query, could not properly parse what was just said.

18. The programme is called "Ask the PM" not "Ask the PM for favours".

PM Lee has written on Facebook that he has "read all your comments and will address them progressively".

We hope he gets to these queries soon.
