Before now, most of the ministers and presidents will live
private life normally.
But post 9-11, they are more reserved and even if you see them in
public, their presence can be felt when you see out of placed
people (bodyguards).
last time Botanic Gardens will be full of them in the
mornings.
then i once see Dr Richard Hu buying books in Kinokuniya, late
Presidents Ong and Wee attending friend's private wedding.
The Sheares family are living a very normal life now too.
