Prime Minister Wong will also be hosted to a lunch by His Majesty the Sultan and a Welcome Dinner by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Billah. Prime Minister Wong will visit various health-related facilities in Jerudong.
Prime Minister Wong will be accompanied by Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat, Senior Minister of State for Health and for Manpower Dr Koh Poh Koon, Minister of State for Digital Development and Information and for Education Jasmin Lau, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth and for Sustainability and the Environment Goh Hanyan, and Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education and for National Development Dr Syed Harun Alhabsyi, as well as officials from the Prime Minister’s Office and relevant agencies.
