PM Lawrence Wong talks about his school days

What was Singapore’s new Prime Minister Lawrence Wong like when he was young? Here’s a snippet of him talking about his school days.

Lawrence Wong is one of the few Singapore ministers that are not born from an elite family. Hence his accent is very much like middle class Singaporean.

Both Lee Hsien Loong and Tharman come from well to do family

Thank you PM Wong .Your life journey will be a great encouragement to many young people with no rich background.

Middle class civil servant's son becoming PM is the clearest demonstration that LKY's system actually worked. That said alot of others were sacrificed to sieve out a talent like Lawrence Wong thru that system. I am confident the new PM will build a more accomadating empathatic society that gives everyone more chances at becoming successful

😊🙏 PM Lawrence Wong was so cute when in Haig Primary School! Looking like a responsible young man when still in your Tanjong Katong Primary School! Love Tanjong Katong's Peranakan vibes there, the foods were amazing back then in the 1990s! Thank You So Much for sharing, brought back so many fond memories! 😊🙏 🌍✌💜🕊🇸🇬🇲🇾

One of the leader we respect.. cos he understand about the average Singaporean and he was a self made man… not by automatic succession or not born with a silver spoon… we respect you sir!!

Prime minister Lawrence Wong came from not well to do family. He is pupil from ordinary primary and secondary school. He is a capable prime minster and far sighted vision.

[dmang]

Wow LW - even as a child you had that sincere smile!

Hope you have your own way to rule and really care for citizens rather than listening to the man behind you.
