Singapore PM’s wife visits Peranakan museum

GEORGE TOWN: The Pinang Peranakan Mansion received a surprise visitor when Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s wife Ho Ching visited the heritage building which has been turned into a museum. Ho Ching was on a one-day private visit to Penang with some family members.

Impressive display: The Pinang Peranakan Mansion proprietor Peter (second from left) and Ho Ching posing for a picture during a private tour of the mansion.

The mansion’s proprietor Peter S.M. Soon said Ho Ching arrived at about 1pm yesterday and spent close to two hours viewing the Baba Nyonya exhibits. “We were impressed by her interest in our heritage. “This will motivate us to better promote our Peranakan culture,” Soon said. He added that Penang’s efforts to preserve its heritage could lure more tourists, particularly from Singapore.

Its because Temasek is going to buy the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, and convert it into a weekend getaway for the Lees and top mgmt of Temasek. Sort of like the bungalows at Changi.

Ministers and their wives also need some private or family time lah. It doesn't mean you have to sell your soul to become a minister.

The day they salaried themselves millions of taxpayers money is the day they sold their souls and expose themselves to scrutiny by the public.
