Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will hand over power on May 15, 2024 to his deputy Lawrence Wong. The city state’s current finance minister, Wong became deputy prime minister in 2022. He was not the original choice to be Lee’s successor, but came into his own when he made his mark as the co-leader of the government’s Covid-19 pandemic task force. This will be only the country’s third leadership transition since independence in 1965.

    Lee is definitely not going away from politics,even though he no longer prime Minister

    Wong is an excellent choice, he literally has youth engagement via social media, he's charming naturally, his smile makes him human.

    Too young to retire at 70. Continue for another 20 years to be the same age as my ex-PM when he was PM.

    Namaskar 🙏🙏🙏🙏 We Indians are thankful to the West, Singapore and the Gulf countries for providing employment to Rank 111 Hunger Index Indians. Desperate Indians who ran away abroad send home $125 Billion every year. Without that India could never balance its budget. India with 18% of world population accounts for 3.6% of World GDP. A billion Indians live in desperate circumstances while Beyonce and Rihanna sing and dance at Indian Crony Capitalist weddings 🙏🙏

    Is he the one who implemented the no jab no job policy during the Covid 19 epidemic?
  • As an indian it is sad for me to admit that Indian crews are frequently present in cases of ship disasters, highlighting their significant involvement in maritime incidents globally.
