Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong says: 'The plan is for Lawrence to succeed me as PM, either before or after (if the PAP wins) the next General Election. It is due in 2025 and will surely be a tough fight.'

SINGAPORE – Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Saturday, April 16, that Finance Minister Lawrence Wong would succeed him as the city-state’s leader.

Lee, whose father Lee Kwan Yew was the island nation’s independence leader, has been prime minister since 2004.

Emerging from travel curbs and strict regulations that made it a pandemic success story, Singapore is vying to retain and build on its status as a hub of international commerce.
