The Complexity of Tariffs and Free Trade Negotiations

In this special episode of The Daily Ketchup, we sit down with Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong!

We kick off with a brand new segment—“Let’s Fill Up Your Wikipedia Page”—where we uncover his lesser-known hobbies (like XXX?!) and his wife’s reaction when he got the DPM title.

He breaks down how the tariff war is already hitting businesses in Singapore, why free trade is getting harder, and what the government is doing to help.

We also talk about his proudest moments at MOH, from building CHAS to leading during COVID-19, and the one crisis that kept him up at night.
