He also went on to ask, “Today,I am left wondering why she was at the PAP Convention this morning dressed in all-white? Can someone enlighten me? Is she a member of the PAP?”
Mr Lim cited a meeting with Vice President of China Wang Qishan that Ho Ching attended, saying that while she may be the wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, it was unusual protocol for her to attend official meetings.

Mr Lim’s post was met with much support from netizens, receiving almost 900 reactions, 500 shares and about 200 comments.
Many also expressed that this was a precarious situation with a possible conflict of interest being that she serves as the head of a sovereign wealth fund.
