PM Lawrence Wong’s speech on US tariffs and global trade shockwaves didn’t just make headlines in Singapore - it went viral around the world, earning praise from political commentators and international audiences. But is it a true rallying cry that will inspire confidence? Elsewhere, the saga regarding former NMP Calvin Cheng’s comments about sending a group of activists to Gaza has triggered a series of negative reactions, with the latest one from PM Wong himself. Calvin Cheng has since apologised, but is it too little, too late?
