Madam Ho Ching sent netizens into a flurry of speculation after sharing a story about a tycoon who brought char kway teow onboard a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight, as the carrier does not serve the hawker dish.
In a post shared on April 29, Madam Ho, who is chairwoman of Temasek Trust, described the “wealthy tycoon” as looking like “any uncle in the neighbourhood hawker centre” even as he enjoyed the luxury of having his “favourite char kway teow on board his favourite airline”.
“No spiffy suits. No stifling ties. No entitlement. No demands. Just a simple man making do for himself, buying his own food to bring along to enjoy,” she concluded.
Netizens guess if post was referring to SM Lee Hsien Loong
The post garnered over 1,100 likes and 331 comments, with netizens speculating about what prompted it and who Madam Ho was referring to.
Many guessed that Madam Ho was referring to her husband, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is reportedly a fan of No. 18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow in River Valley.
