Health Minister Ong Ye Kung launched his TikTok account in March 2022.

Since then, he's been posting on various topics, ranging from Covid-19 updates to healthcare tips to snippets of his daily life.

Ong's latest video depicts him executing a series of wushu moves and has gone viral, garnering over 258,000 views.

In it, the 52-year-old shows off his balance and flexibility among other young and energetic wushu students from Wufang Singapore.

Ong then ends the video off with a piece of advice: "Sports, other than keeping us healthy, actually builds character. So keep on exercising and keep on doing what you love."
