After nearly 20 years in office, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore announced that he will step down on May 15.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong Shyun Tsai will take over as the new Prime Minister.
In April 2022, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong Shyun Tsai received overwhelming support and was formally elected as the new leader of the fourth-generation leadership team, becoming Lee Hsien Loong's successor.
In the Leadership Transition video, the new PM Lawrence said:
I accept this responsibility with humility and a deep sense of duty.
I pledge to give you my all in this undertaking.

The hike in GST impacted the nation but the greatest impact are those lower income and elderly folks. Some elderly folks are staying alone or have mobility issue.
PM should not just be overjoyed with his new high salary but he should spread his love to the unfortunate.
Let’s sit back and see how he performs to prove his worthwhile. We will know in the next GE. [Bless][Smile]
hope SG will thrive better under his leadership...

To the newly appointed LW, I'm skkeptical what and how you can do better. As the Min for MND, your one comment that govt will take back the HDB after the lease ends has sent property owners a shock. LHL came out to announce VERS in a bid to salvage the situation. It is clever to say this policy has another 20 years before the first batch of HDB will be impacted. I'm not even sure if LW can last that long not to mention what is the future holds for owner like myself.
For now congrats to both and hopefully we will see a better Singapore in 20 years time.
Majulah.
Though S'pore is not perfect, it is home.
All these were due to the strong foundations built by Mr Lee Kuan Yew, now this baton is been passed the 3rd time to Mr Wong. I know LKY, GCT and LHL are hard acts to follow but you have your own style to lead us through future challenges, in this messy world!
