- Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will step down from office a month from now, in what has been a widely anticipated leadership succession. Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who was earlier appointed the leader of the fourth-generation political team, will take over. A Prime Minister's Office statement said Mr Wong, who is also finance minister, has the unanimous support of MPs from the ruling People's Action Party. Mr Wong will be sworn in at 8pm on May 15 at the Istana. Mr Wong said he accepts this new responsibility with humility and a deep sense of duty.
Really one month notice
rather than being paid 2 weeks wages and kick out wef
Dictator never lose control.
got public holiday?
no election required,just pick frm own breed
Action speaks louder than words. So much talk all along.
Such a senior position but only serve 1 month notice?
That's a good one😂.At least one yr.or it mean the job scope sane as us only
@addisonrahul It's been two years in the making.
PAP plans years ahead. They were alr grooming him the moment he made DPM.
He is still in control.
Standard mah....MOM law 😂😂😂😂
The way he talks very humble.
"share your ideas"....sure or not ah wong?
Not true that the GST increase hurts the poor’: Lawrence Wong 2 Mar 2022
GST hike impacts on prices is "once off" and not permanent.: Lawrence Wong 28 Feb 2024
that just sounds absurd. not permanent means we pay once for each purchased product? ridiculous! it's not once off.
Dictator never lose control.
Puppet appointed
Step down, still in charge ! 😂
No diff.
Just another puppet to the family. Different figure but still listens and do their bidding. We're a country that's runned by a puppeteer.
Our leaders have provided us with a safe and free environment to live in. We are economically propsering and peaceful. So they have fulfilled their role as leaders of Singapore. No major riots. No chaos.
Hainanese people is not a puppet
So how many times did CNA need to post this news...?
Thats the way to dilute unfavorable comments.
Yes
No worries they’ll post only another 742 times more.
CNA hiring people with dementia to host this youtube channel.
Yah this is the last time they posted abt it. Next time you hear in 15th may when he is sworn in.
Leaving at a time increasing rich and poor disparity. Singapore is for the rich only.
Think CECA
Think FTs
Think can you trust PAP
Need more foreigners to come here
will he speak other languages?
why takeover and not let the MOP to vote ? whyy whyy ?
Voting opposition
“When we have lived in an autocratic state all our lives, it is easy to become callous and immune to life’s inequities…and after a while, these injustices cease to bother us and we lose that ability to feel outraged.”
Tired of these dramas
❤Thank:PM Lee for serving us with such dignity n grace*May the good:Lord watch over you n yr family;)Here's wishing u:Good health n happiness*❤*
My gifted son was sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to my family, who is also a Hainanese. He is currently in NUS. I hope Lawrence Wong will not disappoint not only Hainanese but also the rest of all Singaporean. My son said he wanted to be a scientist in the future. Amen 🙏
Thank you PM Lee for all you’ve done for Singapore and all the sacrifices you’ve made. May your future be happy and full of blessings
What has he done for Singapore n Singaporeans? Please share one thing he has done? 😂
@@deschan2246Singaporeans know what PM Lee has done for Singapore and Singaporeans because they don't bury their heads deep in the sand.
@@deschan2246 Gst 9%
Please lah. He still got a few years of MM duties to do. Will be fielded in AMK GRC to parachute in more out of touch elites.
@ncchew3356 list one thing he did Please !!!!😂
Gst 9%
I hear they may increase again in the next decade or sooner
Hopefully not
People are his ATM.
In a few months or years it will definitely be like Australia.
@@MDIS Or we may be dead.
@@deschan2246 I think that's more you.
Amos Yee will become PM 😊
Congratulations 🎉
So happy, huat liao ba.
Laughing all the way. Long wait.😂😂😂
To bring happiness and joy to the people is not just by economic progress where the wealth goes to the smaller percentage of the population or even foreigners.
Go down to the ground levels ...to understand their grievance, their fears , their expectations, and the feelings for a better future ...
It is the majority feeling of what a better future that counts ...that is the strength of the nation ..not the purchase of weapons and the owning of war planes and war ships ..Singapore is too small to fight any one and even to defend itself ..ONLY BY HAVING FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURS AND A CONTENTED population...only then can Singapore be safe and prosper.
@cklee804 Singapore's defence policy is fundamentally based on the twin pillars of deterrence and diplomacy.
To bring happiness n joy to people is not in his KPI 😂
@@deschan2246 Wow. Astonishing that a second class citizen knows about KPI. What about Malaysian financial KPI. Reminder: Don't look down on the Bumiputras. You have to go back sooner or later.
Do you trust this guy?
no... too bubblegum nice.
i dont know much about LW since i from indonesia, but for the way he handled the covid, he deserves that title
@@conan4632 he failed miserably handling the covid. 😂
@@deschan2246that cap buddy, you probably shove up the CDC in your mouth and ask for more.
Yes.
👍👍👍👏👏👏
I think LHL's decision to step down on 15/5/24 was taken quite suddenly. Recently a new Returning Officer was announced; then there was news of GE training for a bunch of civil servants. This would hv meant that LHL would call an election quite soon with him also standing................BUT now I'm not sure as to whether LHL would quit politics altogether. I believe that the next GE would take place months later, instead of soon as I'd originally expected. Each person is of course entitled to his own view.
iron... bronze... now bubblegum
From now PM don't want people call this full name, 😂😂😂 must show some different than the last 3 PM😂😂😂😂
Ah cai
I look forward to once again use the greatest invention for stamping the ballot paper. I call it the X Pen. Not sure if made of rubber like rubber stamps
Hope the coming pm will not appoint Shumagam as DPM.
Sure have, but wait long long
Thank you Mr Lee. 👍Congratulations Mr Wong 🎉
God bless you. ❤
My heartiest congratulations to my future a prime minister, please be focus on developing global leaders from our nation.
We are red dot but be caution to everyone that we are red in colour.
Congratulations:Mr.Lawrence Wong,altno we'll miss our:PM Lee dearly:(Mr.Wong dserves it,cos during:Covid(he did very well)in his duties;)*Hope PM can become a mentor as well*
As a safeguard for Singapore, let's hope Mr Lee will hold on to the position of PAP Secretary General until the dust has settled. The reason is PAP is likely to have a major setback in the next GE. The issues for the voters are:
1. The high inflation that has made many Singaporeans much poorer;
2. Iswaran's corruption case;
3. Ridout rental cases; 4. Tan China Jin's case, and most importantly,
5. Lawrence Wong has little traction with Singaporeans. (Not many voters know what Lawrence Wong stands for, and many don't see him capable of being an effective PM.)
After the GE, Lawrence Wong may well have to step down or become a lame duck PM. If Lee Hsien Loong is still PAP Secretary General, he can work with President Tharman to identify a suitable replacement. Mr Lee owes it to Singapore and to the legacy of his father to ensure that all is well in the rough waters ahead.
*So is PM Lee going to fully retire from work entirely ?*
😂 dictator never retire
senior minister still need the pay😂
Can I say, "not on my watch"?
Prof Lim, the residents conveyed their belief that Singaporeans already face significant challenges in keeping pace with the demands of city life.
you're one of those people who failed in life and blame the PAP for it.
Game over
Did he just rehash the song into a speech?
got holiday???
Congratulations on your Top Government position. Best wishes for success in your new role.
Thank you for serving with your heart.
Finally, he is willing to let it go. But I reserve my appreciation to DPM Heng who graciously step aside.
Dictator never let go
We believe that this is best achieved when a diversity of viewpoints-including those that place greater stress on worker rights, consumer welfare, and equitable growth-are ultimately needed in a country that is already immensely rich, by any standard. ”
Why no voting for prime minister?
we follow the commonwealth political system - we vote for the party
We follow N Korea system, name new leader by last leader
Can i share my burden?
CONGRATULATIONS. Mr Lawrence Wong. Another chapter for Singapore and a challenging one in deed. Gearing Singapore under current situation in Singapore and the instability around the world is going to require the right decisions for the good welfare of the people. There are always solution to a problem but deciding this solution will need the input as many parties as possible, try not to rely on one side viewpoint but from the opposition and the people on the ground. Unity is essential ingredients and not pride, during this journey before the world stabilize sufficiently. Our best wishes to you in your new appointment.
May 15 falls on Wednesday, i hope they turn it to a ph.....so i can go to work and get extra pay😂.........but REALLY,Lawrence Wong did well during pandemic.
Congratulation DPM Lawrence Wong we will pray for you to serve Singapore well with your utmost ability. We have confidence and trust in you knowing that you will serve all singaporean well.
PM Lee we singaporean do feel sad for your stepping down after 20 years but as we all know all good things must come to an end.
May God bless you PM Lee and your family and may He always keep your family safe.
Power and prestige
I trust the Lord tat u can lead Singapore.
U always my favourite..💚💚💚
*Salute and respect Lawrence Wong cos hes the right candidate to be the next PM*
Congratulations Mr Wong.
10% here we come !
@unholydanger 10% is cheap. OECD countries VAT/GST is 19.2% average.
Singaporeans don't get to vote who become their prime minister
There was never a vote. Its more of a power play and passing the baton to the next in line.
NO country does. By definition in a parliamentary democracy you choose the party not the prime minister. You can only vote individually for a president.
Singapore is not democratic
@@binzen7173president do what ah? I newbie
Congrats Sir,❤❤❤
Sorry but...Your dreams ll inspire my actions = "Fing Populist"?
If he is smart (which i doubt he is) he should hv declared upfront whats Singapore assets n reserves before he took office. Declaring starting point is crucial to determine his achievement or failure after his term ended
Man in white will never do that .Just pray is not 10% gst soon
I never thought I would say this.. but gst is due to match with US dollars so that SGD won't deprecate. It hurts I know, but if you look around over the world, everyone else is also suffering economically in one way or the other.
@deschan2246 So you think you are smarter than him. How come you still a second class Malaysian citizen and not the PM of Malaysia? Conclusion is that you are stupid.
@jackyow80 gst increase is definite n guaranteed, it just a matter of when?. People are their ATM, they hv no other solutiin.
@@user-dz8em7vl3t 😂 ignorant or dumb?

Congratulations and may you outshine your predecessor and create a new remarkable journey!
We gonna miss you Sir
Vote for more opposition for the future of SG
Step down ……. Stepmom
They felt that it was already so hard to keep up in Singapore, and unfettered power, policies would be pushed through with little opposition, making life even harder for citizens like themselves.” Jamus Lim WP
Lawrence Wong = All talk no action
Heng Swee keat = Real deal
Those who knows dont want the job. Those who dont know and r obedient will comply blindly to their master
gg?
Singapore is very Bless and Fortunate to have Lawrence Wong to be our Country Top Leader. Our Country will Prosper and a better place in the foreseeable future.
🤮
CDC VOUCHERS🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
S'pore is among the best in the world in many areas because of the effort of PAP which is the only competent and effective party in s'pore.❤❤
If wat u said is true, do they need u to give fake comments? 😂
Did he take over PAP?
@mrtienphysics666 Are you rip van winkle?
Alamak!!!
PM Lee has been on retirement MM Lee mode for years now. He is just making it official though I was actually looking forward to see him cry for sympathy votes for the National Day rally this year. Guess will have to settle for cringey Ang Moh sounding butchered Malay and Mandarin from PM Wong instead.
Accept with humility? U alr addressing everything as if it's yours and yours alone. Keep saying I this I that as if our reserves comes from u.
Looks like Singapore will still be under PAP, Seems like every year I hear people say they won't vote for PAP, but still have PAP the top voted party.
It is not a public holiday. It’s not even a funny joke. It’s just the end of the monarchy.
End? Still in charge 😂

New puppeteer
He looks as Statesmanly as LKY🫣
@@LonganLee u r degrading n insulting lky 😂🤣
You've heard of Lee Kuan Yew as an exceptionally bright fellow - who could make great things happen - in tiny Singapore which had a population of only 3 million. What is usually overlooked is that he is ethnic Chinese which really explains his capacity for achievements. Hypothetically, if 3 million Chinese in Singapore produced a Lee Kuan Yew, how many Lee Kuan Yews can China produce with 1.4 billion once conditions are ripe? And this is just pretending that a Lee Kuan Yew is the pinnacle of what the Chinese people can show to the world! I believe China will produce countless towering figures far surpassing a so-called "legendary" Lee Kuan Yew. In truth, Lee Kuan Yew has really always been over-rated!
Instead, they have one Xi Jin Ping, who is so hellbent on bringing an open, modern China back into its dark ages of the Cultural Revolution. That is their current pinnacle, probabilities notwithstanding.
You don't sound unhinged or ignorant at all /s
China has no claim over any of the accolades that any Singaporean Chinese achieved with their own efforts. That's like saying the all awards won by Christians belong to the Vatican, or that the UK "produced" Bernie Sanders. Both are equally moronic and inane sentiments as yours. What LKY achieved was through his own efforts and situations encountered during his time, and he is his own person. People like you who attach race to everything are why so many people remain ignorant and hold dated views.
The China government tried to copy his methods and failed spectacularly, which never fails to make me laugh, because who'd have thought that governing a small city-state would be that much different than a huge country with 1.4 billion people? Instead of "producing" people to try to surpass a long-dead benevolent dictator, China should stop trying to emulate the Singapore Model and just focus on recovering its growth rate.
❤❤❤🫶🫶🫶👍👍👍
I urge every Singaporeans to really think this through. If you want change, don't vote for this man. If you want the ability to make your own choices, don't vote for PAP. Every Singaporeans deserves to have their own LIBERTY and if you really want the country to change for the better, vote for someone else. Here are the list of things that most Singaporeans want to but not the PAP.
- The choice to not contribute 20% of CPF
- Reduce the mandatory military duration to 6 Months
- Make the housing prices more affordable
- Allow LGBTQ individuals to have more freedom
- Reduce GST rate
- Enforce a Minimum wage of $13
- Removing the PSLE examination
- Make more Investments for Singaporeans in areas such as sports, arts, entrepreneurships and tourism
- Increase the maternity leave to 9 months
- Implement free Health care for Singaporeans based on their income
- Reduce the voting age to 18
- Ban the sale of Cigarettes
- Build an artificial island to increase the country's space
The PAP are not gonna do any of this and change is not gonna happen if you continue voting for them. I don't know if the opposition parties will do any of this. I really don't. But I would rather give them a chance to prove themselves and I suggest all of you do the same.

You do know every single point here you want has its own severe repercussion do you?
@@damienlee927 Well, it's the government's job to make our lives better. To produce a good image of Singapore. The PAP is simply not doing either...
For me personally I doubt there'll be any heavy repercussions if it's done the right way, for the right reasons. Just think about it...
By implementing the points above, our Democracy, Happiness, Economy, and liveability rankings will improve.
I believe you would want all of the points to come true.
If you want change, don't Vote for the PAP.
😢😅😂
Different clowns, same circus
You know that its you who still pays to watch the clowns perform right?
“If Singapore is going to remain relevant and competitive, we don’t have much of a choice, we must open up our political system and let power devolve to the people instead of it being amassed in the hands of a few in the PAP,” said Mr Chee Soon Juan

from USD 1 to sgd 1 become USD 1 to sgd 1.36 singapore majuuuuuuuuuu city by making Singapore into crisis again and again hahahahahahahahaha

What 💩 🤮🤡 rhetorical 🎤 speech. The next chapter of Singapore story goes down the drain. It’s like gravity, what goes up, comes down. Nothing last forever.
Janus Lim: Singaporeans want strong opposition to deny PAP’s clean sweep at GE
During a recent estate walk, WP MP Jamus Lim met a resident urging the opposition to deny the ruling party a clean sweep. The resident voiced concerns that without enough opposition, policies could pass unchecked, worsening citizens’ challenges.
SG is successful primarily due to our ethnic Chinese majority. Because of geopolitical realities, SG is fond of placing vocal Indian leaders on the frontline to mask our majority ethnic Chinese composition. But when the real crunch comes e.g. Covid pandemic, who do we fall back on? Only the really capable and trustworthy ones step up to the plate like Lawrence Wong, Ong Ye Kung, Chan Chun Sing etc.
On the other hand, consider a hypothetical leadership comprising only the likes of Tharman, Iswaran, Vivian Balakrishnan, Janil Puthucherry, Shanmugam, Pritam Singh. What happens? In a period of crisis or even in peaceful times, I believe SG collapses irreversibly in 2 weeks' time!
The National Pledge or The Biggest Lie?
"We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion, to build a democratic society, based on justice and equality, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation."
