Ovais joined The Straits Times in 2019, months before the Covid-19 pandemic, and made everyone realise why access to technology and free trade is vital to their lives. He started his career in Singapore with Reuters in 2000 as its Asia treasury correspondent, covering the region’s currency and bond markets.
