“He was probably one of the first to be in office, and the last to leave,” said Mr Lee, who now chairs the Chandler Institute of Governance.
People who have previously interacted with or worked in various capacities with Mr Wong, including grassroot members, civil servants and a former teacher of his, painted a picture of a leader with an eye for policy details yet clear-headed in big-picture thinking, and a boss who has high standards yet is nurturing to those under his charge.
As an individual, they described Singapore’s next prime minister as someone who is naturally introverted yet approachable, and one who has grown comfortable in his public persona.
Despite the years that have passed, they said that what remains constant of Mr Wong is how grounded he is and how he has always put the public before himself.

mRNA Inside an Oily Shell
Vaccine uses mRNA, genetic material that our cells read to make proteins. This molecule called mRNA for short — is fragile and would be chopped to pieces by our natural enzymes if it were injected directly into the body. (Is to protect the vaccine,) Moderna wraps the mRNA in oily bubbles made of lipid nanoparticles.😭
