The Chief Executive Officer of Temasek Holdings, Ho Ching, is not known for her verbosity on social media. In fact, it is the complete opposite. Her presence is marked by many posts shared on Facebook through out the day, but she rarely ever comments on any of them. Today however, the wife of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shared three different posts, with a poem she wrote, health advice and a note of thanks. In one of the posts, Ho Ching wrote to the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) to thank them. She said, “Kudos to the folks in AVA, toiling quietly but persistently over decades and generations to ensure food security for this little red dot. A big thank you!” Along with the post was an article titled, ‘Singapore’s Impressive Food Security’. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1002328303288337&id=100005335308340 In another post earlier today, she advised Singaporeans to “Stay safe”, especially those travelling. She wrote what seemed like a poem, “Stay safe wherever you travel in new places meeting new faces Stay alert behind the wheels on new roads and unfamiliar byways Have a happy holiday and return to a happy new year with family and friends in little SG”. She also shared an article titled, ‘German airports on alert amid attack fears’. Her most recent post had advice about hearing. In her post, she wrote, “Go test our hearing. Most people don’t notice until it becomes severe. The most common hearing loss is due to age”. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1002654356589065&id=100005335308340 Ho Ching also replied to almost all of the comments on her post. ________________________________________________________________________
