Those watching National Day Rally 2016 on YouTube had a lot to say when PM Lee was speaking

Here's what they were talking about.

If you did not know, the National Day Rally (NDR) was streamed live on YouTube for Singaporeans who would rather watch it on their preferred devices. There was also a live chat available.

Of course, the live chat was used by the audience to discuss what Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was speaking about. More than that, the audience was also using the chat as a platform to talk about observations and other.... seemingly more important stuff.

Here's proof that Singaporeans can multitask pretty well:

1. When PM Lee used Uber as an example, people wished he was an ambassador for it.

2. A wild Amos Yee appeared, causing the audience to go into a frenzy.

3. Of course, the PM's choice of shirt was discussed.

He didn't wear a pink shirt, but at least there were pink buttons on his blue shirt.

4. Almost halfway through the speech, it felt like the PM was giving us an education.

5. Everyone expected PM Lee to speak about terrorism:

7. Of course, it was no surprise that Pokemon Go came up.

When PM mentioned using SkillsFuture to stay relevant, the audience proposed innovative courses that can be offered. Sounds like they will be popular for sure.

8. Jokes aside, when PM Lee stumbled and gave us all a scare, there was a flurry of concern.
