President Tharman Faces Tough Questions By Neurodivergent Interviewers | The Assembly - Part 2/5

In the second episode of The Assembly, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam steps into unfamiliar territory, engaging with neurodivergent "journalists" in a no-holds-barred conversation.

From a frugal childhood shaped by his formidable mother to candid reflections on the dynamics of his marriage—and even revealing the one uneconomical purchase this well-known economist has made—President Tharman doesn’t shy away from the personal. He delves into the passions that drive him, what makes him lose his cool, and what happens if the president doesn’t agree with the prime minister.
