Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong released a blooper reel of his National Day Rally trailer on his Facebook page earlier today. In it, he can be seen flubbing his lines as he walks towards a moving camera – the first time he’s reportedly been asked to walk and talk on camera at the same time.

On his page, the head of government said:
“Last week, I tried something new. For my trailer for the National Day Rally (http://bit.ly/2ipJgF3), I had to walk and talk at the same time. TV personalities (especially David Attenborough!) make it look easy, but it is harder than you think. I am not quite Wonder Woman —
Wait, what? Out of thousands of superheroes to pick from, did PM Lee really compare himself to Wonder Woman of DC Comics?
Before you make any judgment calls, PM Lee was actually referring to 70-year-old Ms Zhang who delivers food to workers for a living. Ms Zhang said in a video interview by Channel 8 that her customers refer to her as ‘Wonder Woman.’
In the same video, she can be seen walking towards the camera while speaking – this is what the the head of government was referring to and trying to emulate.
