Wow. Being his neighbour for 30 years, I never knew Uncle was born in Brunei. Knowing you as a man of few words, thanks for sharing your story and take care at the gym!💪 And uncle you still look swag with the GTR.😎🏎️

This is very humbling to know that he literally started from being stateless to being able to represent Singapore. I’m a Singaporean and I take things for granted. Thank you for sharing your story.

Respect.. despite of what he went through and being outcast during his initial days in Sg. He did not hold any grudges against Sg but fly our flag and won Gold in the 1997 Sea Games. A true and proud Singaporean..

Thank you for the story.. A very humble gentleman indeed.

Hardwork comes before greatness. And the best things in life are truly the ones that you are not served on a silver platter. A beautiful interview.

I have got to know Augustine Lee (and Joan Liew, too) during a business study trip to Ho Chi Minh City in April 2019. He is really a nice person, and he is very passionate about body building and wellness. He did not share about this part of his interesting life. I am grateful that he did bring about glory for Singapore. Thank you very much!

Humble and nice person. Best wishes in your business!

Amazing ! Thanks for sharing

awww....Love you, Mr Lee. Thank you for teaching me strength & resilience beyond those heavy weights.

How he kept going and reach his goal is an inspiration. Great upload

Even as Singaporeans, some of us also face similar issues.

I like this uncle very humble

Amazing accomplishment! What an inspiration! We take things for granted. I also like your humbleness. I have a lot of respect on who you are, your success story, and hard work.

At this age, he looks so strong. I don’t think I survived then.

Amazing story, love from Malaysia sir 🙏🏽

The thing is, bullies in life will look for anything they can find to make you feel bad about yourself lah...so let's say even if you are a Singaporean, these bullies will simply find something else to judge you about. We Singaporeans also have to face negative and judgmental people in our own lives. Doesn't matter if you're a perfect God or Jesus or a Buddha, there will always be people who tries to find fault, or point fingers at you. So that they can feel much better about themselves...after judging you and everyone around them.

I admire your stories. It's a great achievements, my God ! Watching you talking..... it's hard not to cry, yes you made it..... the hard way ! God Bless you n your family.

Amazing story 😍

Those who bullied him should face him now, face to face. They will either run away or invite him for a treat to say sorry. Well they should, as hes a true gentleman of Singapore.

well.. if you're a chinese in Brunei, you might not even get citizenship even thou you're born and raised in Brunei

Good for you bro!👊🏽👍🏽

Indeed a true legend, how much effort to achieve the godly built.

Cant really say Singapore "discriminated" him in the education system. Every country deserves to prioritize it's own citizens for public goods like education.

Too much hype for Joseph schooling or those Prc ping pong..this man deserves more attention ! Not about the medals,,but about the progress and grits

Ignore them lah People here got a very good taste of success Good leadership and alot of luck to be where we are. So they have taken all that for granted. Many have forgotten that this is a migrant nation. Where people from all over the world came together dug their toes in and built a nation. One man made dream a reality and SG was very lucky to have MR LKY. Just because we made it doesn't mean we deny others also who want to integrate with us and call singapore home.

It seems like u don't know much about history. Engaging migrant to do nothing here? They are still being paid for a job not free u know. We are talking about building a country from scratch nothing but a slump. If u really wanna talk about building buildings then the samsui women is really tougher than your bangala worker, samsui women carrying bricks all day long no such thing as machinery or just like Lego piece it up only by folk lift. Samui women carry the bricks and laid the bricks on top of one another. Wat this ah neh do is so much simpler. To build a inferstruture for a country from nothing is no chicken feed. Foriegner here today is simply doing a job not building a nation. Get that right.

I believe during his early days, you will need “guanxi” to get into schools n job opportunities, especially when you r stateless. And being bullied~it is everywhere n even now; being at childhood/study/work. I m saying that his going “tough” has little bearing to his identity status/Singaporean. It is his personal motivation/determination n perseverance that make a success. Kudos for that n be exemplary to youngsters to learn.

he looked 57 not 67.

This gentleman said he was bullied just because he is not a Singaporean is humbug. He is a bodybuilder quite big size that l don’t think any dare to bully him. He also complained he couldn’t get job in Singapore.Ofcourse, Jobs are for Singaporeans Only. Last but not least, he said he went for Bodybuilding competios and though he came in First but he was not given the Title because he is not a Singaporean. Now the problem is why he like to use the Singaporean’s name despite he is not a Singaporean. This man must be crazy of Singaporeans. BTW, l have no qualm that he like to be Singaporean. However he must apply for citizenship before he can be a Singaporean. Pretend to be a Singaporean is an offence in Singaporean. What do you think Flocks?

Had knew him as bodybuilder for so many years since young. Bump into him a few times many years ago in some gym

Proud of my uncle

Legend

thank u uncle

When Singapore first became independent, it was tumultous times, she had problem taking care of its own people, how to take care of others?

Your determination is way better than a true Singaporean.

He should move to Brunei it’s a rich oil country and they take care of their citizens

Wow

You are a citizen of where you are born in. Singapore doesnt owe any foreigner anything, and have to give any foreigner anything.

Awesome achievement indeed...my personal respect to you. Super indeed...well proven...an awesome success.

Singapore just like......

You do look like Singaporean

Nothing new. Part and parcel of Spore culture. Glad you managed to endure and came out on top.👌

Singapura/temasik merdeka dari di jajah siapa. Dari sudut sejarah temasik adalah sebahagian dari daerah kesultanan riau. Bukan dynasti ming

I hope people will watch this and dont be so xenophobic nowadays.... It is sad to see how Singapore has turned out being so Anti-Foreigner..

How do Singaporean supposed to look like? As visitor Id see this man as a typical Chinese Singaporean. I wouldnt see him as a Malay (Malaysian, Indonesian nor Bruneian) at all.

Wah…..you so muscular…who dare to bully you! Your any punch could have killed a cow!

Can I have some super 90?

doesn't mean he or she or us are not singaporean they shouldn't do that.Singapore is for everybody non Singaporean like malaysia,brunei should be exceptional.that's problem is government of Singapore.if they are not from Singapore or Singaporean give them a chance whatever live,work for leaving and so on.husband's friend who he married his wife a Singaporean
