Wong posted a series of snaps on both Instagram and Facebook, showing him strolling amid the iconic Supertrees and shimmering lakes. With a cap shielding his hair and a mask keeping the buzz at bay, the former Finance Minister looked like another casual visitor. It was so convincing that many followers had to blink twice to make sure it worked.
Netizens’ Reactions

Another commended him that it was “Disguise success!”
Other netizens wished him a good break as Wong had written on his Instagram that with Budget 2022 over, he “managed to take some time to see the beautiful cherry blossoms at @gardensbythebay”.
