SHANGHAI (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Singaporeans in Shanghai got two “firsts” on Sunday (May 14) when they met Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and newly arrived Singapore Ambassador Peter Tan.

It was Wong’s first trip to China as Singapore’s No. 2 leader, and it was also the first official public engagement for Tan after he started his job as Singapore’s top diplomat in China two weeks ago.
