*Editor's note: "A reader informed us that the British museum actually bought the jersey from Lima, Peru, not Uruguay"

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has already been cemented as a cool dude with that jump shot but his latest speech proves that he is, in fact, cooler than the coolest of dudes.

Speaking to some 1,100 union delegates last night at the National Delegates' Conference (NDC), held every four years, at Orchid Country Club in fashion-forward colours, PM Lee spoke on the challenges concerning Singapore and the role of National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) in Singapore.

Here are five points he made during his 40-minute speech that prove that he is cooler than you.

1. He knows his football

To prove his point about globalisation, he drew the attention of the predominantly male audience with English football. He spoke about how the Director of the British Museum, Neil Macgregor looked for 100 items for the radio show "A History of the World in 100 objects."

And for the last item, one possible choice was a Chelsea Football Club jersey. PM Lee then showed off his football knowledge: Chelsea is a club from England owned by a Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich and an Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba used to play for the club.

"The football jersey was a shirt number belonging to the striker Didier Drogba. He belongs to the Ivory Coast but he's playing for an English team.

And the shirt, I guess where you can guess the shirt was made. (LOLs from the crowd) The shirt was made by Chinese workers in China and where did the British museum buy that shirt? They bought it in Uruguay Lima, Peru* from a flea market and it was a fake! (More LOLs)"

2. He referenced the storyline of Terminator

Film junkies will know the Terminator franchise, the sci-fi-time-traveling movies about the battle between man, led by John Connor of the Resistance, and machine, controlled by Skynet.

He didn't go full-Terminator but PM Lee mentioned about the rise of automation in China and how a factory in China went fully automated which resulted in: a shrunk workforce (from 650 workers to just 60), a three-fold increase in production and reduced defects by five times.

Putting on his John Connor cap, he spoke about how robots have also invaded into the Singapore workforce. But instead of displacing jobs, the robots can help create new opportunities.

"The gantry cranes used to have operators to manoeuvre and bring the containers up, across and down one by one. Now, the gantry cranes are automated. One supervisor looks at three or four cranes... They can track three or four cranes at once and the cranes do most of the work. Results? More productivity, better job, better pay, better performance."

It's all about the ability to retrain the operators and restructure their jobs and not many countries can do that because of gridlock between the unions and employers, he said.

To quote National Solidarity Party's Choong Hon Heng, THUMBS UP MAN!

Ok so he didn't mention the Terminator outright, but it would be cool if he did. To make amends, here's the Terminator/Governator meeting the MParader:
