Stunning Leadership By Singaporean

The wife of Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Ho Ching, is being praised by netizens for being seen carrying a S$14.80 (RM44.60) purse during a recent official visit to the White House with her husband. Ho, who is also the CEO of Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund Temasek Holdings, was seen clutching the dinosaur-motif purse, while she and Lee were welcomed by US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, at the White House lawn.

The blue-coloured purse was designed by 19-year-old Sheetoh Sheng Jie – a student of Pathlight School for autistic children, The Straits Times reported. Ho, who is also the patron of the Autism Association Singapore, reportedly bought the purse at a concert last Saturday to raise funds for autism support services.
