Episode description
Also known as KJ, we had a great interview with the distinguished Malaysian politician who also served as a Minister for almost a decade. As Minister of Health during the early post-Covid era, he played a role in the reopening of borders between Singapore and Malaysia.
From Malaysia's so-called "Green Wave", to the evolving role of new media in politics, to Singaporeans' "sharp elbows", KJ shares his candid views on a variety of topics, including his future in politics.
