TelegramWhatsappPresident Tharman Shanmugaratnam was sworn in as the ninth President of Singapore at his inauguration ceremony on Sep. 14.

While congratulations for the newly minted president were in order, many people seemed enraptured by an attendee who makes rare appearances on social media.

Namely, Loo Tze Lui, the vice president of Singapore’s Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA).

Also the wife of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong.

Although Loo's cameos on the ceremony's livestream were sparse and fleeting, it didn't stop one of her fans from stitching together a TikTok video of her moments on screen.
