Ho Ching is there to meet up with her BFF, that Japanese snow monkey/macaque with the “middle finger”? And Ah Loong gets dragged along? 🙂 Did he go pay his respects to Kissinger earlier or not?
Anyone know when this picture was taken? He as PM, Singapore’s No.1 man look so frail and worn even though he have everything at his disposal and is ultra rich
Hope Covid catches him and hugs him real tight.
And cannot fly back.. forever.
Google I am not responsible for your shifting location need. So dun need to keep prompting me. I indicated it clearly for location to be omitted but you wanna use it and tag to Yishun or dunno where. You the tech CEO is responsible for the abuse!!!!!!
What’s there to wish him when 1,000,000 (millions) of Singapreans suffering under the LJ PAP Administration abuse and mis use of mandate.
In fact don’t be surprise 100s of 1000s of Sheegaporeans DO NOT have leave, even Unpaid leave for a day.
Funny, I thought he just announced his leave not too long ago … Clearing leaves again?!?
So the only news-worthy activity of the highest paid PM in the world is that he will be taking some leave. No wonder SG is no longer an Asian tiger under his tenure.
What a good life to have two person to take over him during that workcation
how much are we paying him for holiday? and will his pappy gang plan a coup while he’s slacking in nippon? je suis Thaksin?
