Short answer
No, not directly. Lawless Wong is accountable to Pinky.
Below is the long answer
Old Fart a.k.a. Lee Con You mandated that both Pinky and Ho Jinx must work together to ensure that LKY's legacy remains after the former's death.
After the passing of Old Fart, Pinky became overly dependent on Ho Jinx. He needs the Queen to confirm that whatever decisions he makes are good for both Sinkieland and Familee's legacy.
When Pinky asked Lawless Wong to submit names of people who would likely be his deputies, the latter put only the names of Heng Swee Swee and Gan Kim Yong on the list.
Pinky would have just accepted Lawless Wong's list had it not been for the objection of Ho Jinx.
She demanded to know why Cotton Chan's name was not put forward to be one of the deputy prime ministars. Her reason was that Cotton Chan is a President Scholar. By the way, both she and Pinky are President Scholars.
When Pinky asked Lawless Wong for the reason of the omission of Cotton Chan's name, the latter admitted that he was afraid he would not be able to command the respect of Cotton Chan, who is a President Scholar.
No, not directly. Lawless Wong is accountable to Pinky.
