SINGAPORE: Singapore’s prime minister Lee Hsien Loong, 72, announced today he will hand over power to his successor, Lawrence Wong, on May 15.
Wong, 51, is currently the deputy prime minister and finance minister of Singapore, and has been prime minister-in-waiting since 2022.
In a statement posted on the website of the prime minister’s Office, Lee called the leadership transition a “significant moment”.
“I will relinquish my role as Prime Minister on 15 May 2024 and Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will be sworn in as the next Prime Minister on the same day. Lawrence and team have worked hard to gain the people’s trust, notably during the pandemic.”
Wong did not immediately comment.
An election is expected to follow in the months after the handover of power.
Wong was anointed as PM-in-waiting in April 2022 after a rare fumble in leadership transition when the previous successor stepped aside unexpectedly and derailed the typically carefully choreographed leadership planning.

They rather give chance to old dinosaur who love to hold onto power and making all the young party members into bootlicker, and then when the young one become old dinosaur they'll continue the same tradition. For GE16, the youngest PM candidate as of now is 53 years old Dr Sam but he is from PuAS. Ada berani bagi chance? This post has been edited by bashlyner: Apr 15 2024, 05:38 PM |
