SINGAPORE: Former Straits Times heavyweight Bertha Henson has suggested that it may be time for Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to step down from his post, opining that the bitter dispute with his estranged brother has “affected” his authority as head of government.
Mr Lee, 71, had earlier expressed a desire to retire as PM before the age of 70. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he said that he will stay on at his post until the health crisis comes under control.Photos: Wadeh Bazaar FB, KF Seetoh FB SINGAPORE: The stall owners selling prawn wadeh for more than 20 years have said they pay thousands on top of the hefty rental fees charged for operating their stall at the Geylang Serai Ramadan bazaar.
