SINGAPORE, Nov 14 (The Straits Times/ANN): Come Tuesday (Nov 16), tour leader Kenneth Lee, 58, will finally lead his first tour to South Korea after two long years of odd jobs amid the pandemic.

He worked as a safe distancing ambassador, a healthcare caregiver, attended security management training and other courses, and even got a diploma in tourism and event management. But finally, he can return to the profession that he had enjoyed for almost 21 years before 2020.
