Just days after the surprise election of Republican candidate Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States, the world has seen an unusual parade of personalities entering Trump Tower in New York to be interviewed for top jobs in his new administration. Much has been made of his picks, and initial statements, as political watchers - and global leaders - try to figure out just what the business leader who has never held any political office will do once he enters the White House. Our reporters and commentators weigh in on this and what's to come on this front. We also look at the debate on whether Singapore should extend the run of the F1 night race in the Republic and ask whether the so-called "crown jewel" of grand prix racing has lost its shine. Singapore's Olympic hero Joseph Schooling was back home this week, and kindly took some time to visit us at News Centre. He also met fans and sat down to read to some young beneficiaries of the ST School Pocket Money Fund from the new book on him, From Kid to King, published by ST Press. Giving back to society "meant a lot to him", he said. Check out the video of him below. Enjoy this week's picks, and once again, thank you for reading The Straits Times.
