#528 - PM Lawrence Wong Takes Over & Tan Chuan-Jin Masterclass Draws Flak

This week, Singapore witnessed the historic handover of the PM role from Lee Hsien Loong to Lawrence Wong, which happened on a balmy Wednesday evening at the Istana grounds. What was unique, interesting, and strange about this once-in-a-generation swearing-in ceremony? Elsewhere, an advertisement peddling a “Masterclass in Leadership” featuring Tan Chuan-Jin received flak online, to the point the ad was removed. Is the criticism fair? Why should anyone begrudge him making an honest living?
