PM Lawrence Wong with motorcycle and long hair in the 90s, netizens praise his relatability

As a Prime Minister (PM), chances are that Lawrence Wong has not been afforded too many opportunities to let his hair down.

But back in the 90s, it seems like a younger Mr Wong was, quite literally, letting his hair down.

He recently shared a collection of photos on social media that showed a different yet still recognisable Mr Wong, playing music and riding on motorcycles.
