The 49-year-old Lawrence Wong has been tipped by analysts as a potential successor to Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong

Stability has long been one of wealthy Singapore’s major strengths, making it a haven for investors and businesses in a region where political upheaval is not uncommon.

4G refers to the ruling party’s so-called fourth generation team of younger leaders, who had to choose a replacement for Heng from among themselves.
