*Seems like this Gen Z reporters or journalist not paying much attention during PM Wong earlier speech cos they were asking some questions that already been highlighted in that speech*
First change is our reporter questionairs…… when given a chance to ask they ask question that already been given during the speech …
Somemore address him as minister rather than DPM...😅
That last reporter is sleeping on the job. Whole new level unlocked. 😂
If I'm the reporter I will ask wat happen his FIRST marriage he must tell coz he is our next PM
Ask if he still wants to abuse his authority , arrest for talking loudly , did not return tray , ask tough questions etc
@@jacksonwong90 any question that as a reporter would want to know.. dont be so boring..
Old wine rebottled in new bottle is not change. It's more of the same.
Are the journalists even paying attention? What a waste of question time. 10 mins of repetitive statements. Absolute waste of time.
Salute to the Singapore team of leaders.
Change over before election? There'll be a major shakeup if he doesn't win his seat. I mean if it can happen to George Yeo, it could happen to him.
Different location. Yew Tee demographic different from Aljunied.
WOW HSK may still be bona fide PM.
@@tonykiang9052 nah. This is not like your Malaysia. In Singapore, nobody wants to be the PM.
Look to the future.❤Singapore .
@@Scambuster491no point being a TUA PEK KONG, of course nobody interested to be PM.
Sir Thanks For Supporting
The Nations.
All the best Lawrence.. May God Almighty bless you and your team of ministers to render many more wonderful services not only for the people of Singapore but also for the people, esp poor, nations.
Thank you Lee Hsien Loong for the service and all the best to Lawrence Wong for new role.
I lived in Singapore for 16 years and seen how Lee‘s leadership has helped to overcome recession ans Covid situations. Thanks to hardworking Singaporeans as well
U live in Singapore for 16 yrs I live 67 yrs still can't smell my CPF I ask LKY he say ask chock tong I ask chok tong he say ask lee hsien LOONG so now must ask Lawrence Wong
@@user-nr2tv6rc2u I am very sorry to hear experience you are facing. May the authorities help you to solve. I was just sharing my good experience here.
@@user-nr2tv6rc2u Hi Mr Rajoo Palaniappan I am sorry to hear that. But this reply looks irrelevant to my comment. I am grateful for experience which I had✌️
@@sriragkt u r right wat ever people say pap will use the irrelevant or POFMA or sue in court I don't blame u because ur 16 yrs only here I'm 67 yrs
Reporters kept asking the same questions. No substance.
controlled media
Self own promote definitely pay sure also give more to own self
Cabinet wise, just don't use the ones from IKEA. Not very reliable.
4G Quality WORST than Ikea

Hi bro, that's so true. 4g and pap are the most bad and worst quality cabinets and people around.
Respectfully i disagree that lhl was good for sg
Just like his father . LKY

Did anyone heard something at 4.38?
He said his main pre-occupation now is swearing in and then he mentioned national day rally. Such a honest man. No mention that his immediate pre-occupation now is GE🎉🫣. Super honest. Highly trustable
Well done DP Wong 🎉🎉🎉
Five years later, it will not be a surprise if we see a Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong to run for presidency.
Electricity / water / petrol can cheaper ? Coe lower ? Inflation also lower ? Can ?
Else HOW to Pay The MOST EXPENSIVE PM On The Planet n $660k/annum to Mayors for Dunno Doing what ?
Wait long long, dont forget who introduce 9% gst
cannot lah ,minister pay will stagnant right?
By now, you don't know meh? "give first n take back more"..LOL
@@deschan2246that's a good point
From my opinions Mr Lawrence Wong is the man to take over PM Lee as DPM and Mr Lawrence Wong I very impressed he is fair.As a Singaporean I think we can play our part to give them our ideas.
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. Jamus Lim
In Parliament, they 'afraid of your views n response' lah
Wonder how a country without any natural resources can become immensely rich
@@singapoo Pay And Pay leh
@@tonykiang9052 Why Pay? So Don't Pay ? I rather pray and pray
GST 9% !!! Dont ever forget who introducd it !!!
Get rid of that 2 ministers & send them to ridout so they could enjoy their bungalows more there
From PM demoted to SM... Got pay cut bo...? 😊
STILL The MOST EXPENSIVE on the PLANET
Senior ministers are not paid
It is not about pay, it is about losing control.
@@vincecarlobetter a structured pay, which pales in comparison to the unqualified and unquantified ‘perks’ and ‘incentives’ siphoned from private and govt coffers.
@@nightowl4121
Yeah
MICRO MANAGER CONTROL FREAK
Mr. Lawrence Wong, I am now in your country, Singapore enjoying the beauty of menmade country. May I suggest you to be more fluent in Malay or Indonesian language like Mr. B.G. Lee.
As expected
Pm will become sm
After SM THAN BECOME.. M M THEY CAN CREATE ALL KIND OF POST THEY WANT
Lee dynasty. LW only employee. Unless you are fool, you know it is same like last time.
He needs to change his last name ASAP 😅
Is the word "clown" in the Singaporean dictionary?
Some voiced their lack of confidence in the 4G ministers, while others lamented the increasing struggles of ordinary Singaporeans, over issues such as the costs of living, housing, jobs, and foreign workers, which opposition parties have consistently raised in Parliament but have been neglected by the ruling party.
@martinarchie2902 Life is the most difficult exam, many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different question paper.
Hi bro, you're so true. The pap is the most lousy, lazy and complacent peoples and actually they just only care about their own white shirt kind and their $1 million per year.
If Lawrence cannot manage or govern Singapore efficiently, and is just increasing the gst, cost of living, food and drinks prices and the number of foreigners an Singapore prs, then he should give up on his PM job sooner or later.
We are not progressing forward with this kind of gov
With the opposition we might go into regression
Hi bro, you're so true. The pap is the most bad and actually the pap only just cares about their own white shirt kind and their own $1 million.
Career path for PM upon retirement,
To Minister Mentor
Senior Minister
Emeritus Minister
If still kicking at 100yrs old, to
Supreme Minister
Upon death...
Heavenly Minister
Get paid with monies offerings at Ching Ming day.
In other words, no change. The ruler is still in power.
QianLong the Emperor - Emeritus is still in control. Lawrence is akin to Jiaqing Emperor lol
@@WalterKluwers Qianlong or Tai Jian? LOL
If PM don't be SM. SGD drop lor. Same same ringgit lor
It is manifestly clear in the recent general election that the PAP is still parachuting civil servants into the party to be election candidates in a bid to monopolise talent and hold on to power through candidates who are bound to the party.
Is lw really born in east singapore ?
Dont waste time in reading the comments. Just view and listen to the speech from Sgp next PM. Make your own judgment wisely.
Soon u will see LHL son selected as new pap candidate to run for election. Back door la… usual excuse. It’s the people voted him for it.. 10-15years time to be the next PM perhaps
Does PM need SM approval or permission on major decision?
Puppet Master Pulls Strings of the MOST OBEDIENT Puppet
But of course..didn't GCT refer to LKY?
But if LHL refer to GCT much, don't know..
@@tonykiang9052 GCT was dragged out of cabinet when LKY step down. Wat does it tell u?😂
@@vincecarlo puppet master need to be in the game to control puppet.😂
@@deschan2246 yeah, tells me alot..seat warming days over
All not. True what. Was said was. Their own speech not Singaporean April 2024
After 9% gst, Genki sushi, saizeriya, hanwoori restaurant and the pap suck ⚡👎👎.

Same goes for the opposition.

Let me say. May 18 should declare a public holiday. Okay
Senior position that pulls the strings behind closed doors.
Basically, nothing changed?
You should have Vivian Balakrishnan as DPM... he is a cool man
When a minsiter lies no one cares, these same people can cry over what the opposition says
We are only human and regardless of any generation sometimes under unforeseen circumstances, we make the minor mistake of asking the same question. Why not choose a more forgiving and compassionate approach and to provide what should have been asked. So those journalists can learn from positive feedback rather than critiquing on their generation. Well, on a lighter note, we can laugh about it. Majullah Singapura! ❤
Honesty is best policy
Great power comes with great responsibility@2024
Should ask why must have a promotion for some ministers ..salary up ?
Singapore is extremely lucky and fortunate to have good and trustworthy Prime Ministers and President tbh that are able to lead the country well and developed. We should treasure and appreciate the things we have now while we can and not always complain and say negative things to the PM. It's not good and fair to bully them as they have worked very hard to improve our lives and future. Yes, some ministers do 'lie' but at least our PM Lee himself didn't and he is just doing his job to keep our citizens safe.
I am very happy that Lee Hsien Loong (my personal favourite minister, despite those 'negative' reviews of others which I don't care tbh) will continue to serve the nation beyond his PM role while he enjoys his life forward
😂 good joke !!!😂
what does the president do? when did the president lead the country?

No successive PM of Singapore has ever done things differently...
Those singled out to take over surely will retain his predecessor in his cabinet line up as SM...
People would like any new PM to be his own man...
Form his own team and prove himself to be a capable PM...
For many years we've been asking for a change, maybe let's not have the Lee family run Singapore, and the time has finally come, and yet people are still bitching about it. Let him try it out first, if he doesnt do a good job, then we vote them out.
Singapore has 3 super good Prime Minister. This is NOT Luck. It is by design and the Architect is Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. This design can be broken if the people bring in "sweet-talkers" instead of "talkers with sense".
Mr Wong please bring back the tough laws we had under LKY. THINGS are too soft now. Lee Hsien Loong said his govt cannot run spore like the old guard. pity . our country is going down the social sewer. corruption , increased crime, filth everywhere, sex crimes, over crowding, people losing jobs due to uncurbed open door policy for foreign workers. our services are going down the drain. ! we cant even enjoy going to places of interest like we used to do. now its so crowded ! so many entitled people here....so many fights in public. pls do as LKY said. 'anyone who takes on this job must HAVE THAT IRON IN Him. cannot be soft.. esp this time. Good Luck
Thank you for the consideration for PM of Singapore. The journey is tough, Singaporeans are simply spoilt and ungrateful, forgetting their humble beginning.
Of course! Still milking the taxpayers' money!!
So far, the PAP’s tactic is to put all the scholars into the civil service because it believes the way to retain political power forever is to have a monopoly on talent. But in my view, that’s a very short-term view.
@martindawn934 Jealously and hypocrisy are the worst defaults of human beings. You must respect one rule "never lie to yourself".
Assoc Prof Lim underscored the importance of robust debate and discussion in the highest echelons of decision-making to ensure the development of sound policies.
Look forward to a Cabinet that even excel LKY Team.
What a country of jokes. Nowadays, it's not hypothetical, like before. It shows, in day to day reality. 😂😂😂
GE talk by DPM
Are u really born in east singapore ?
Some wrong logic at 8:30, because they are the ruling party they don't need to anticipate GE, they are the ones that set the date
Lee Hsien Loong is worthy to be a Senior Minister but not Teo Chee Hean. Why do we need to have two Senior Ministers
Sekarli he got voted out in next election 😂
SG Needs to do a George Yeo on him
If happens, end of PAP
Be positive
I will vote for him using the X Pen
@@Beautiful-md8hmbut I will be using X Pen to vote PAP leh
If he ends up like Chris Hipkins (NZ' PM 9 months in then lost) I am laughing

Yep, can see the similarity in you.
@@martinarchie2902 Jamus lim can talk very good but can perform? Nobody knows. Don't be a fool
*This is an excellent news for Singaporean cos SG needs PM Lee leadership as a Senior Minister to work alongside with PM Wong for a long run*
LKY had vision for 50 years ahead. LHL has 20, maybe 30 years. LW-any guess?
Is SM or PM im charge? 😂
You will find out after May and shortly after.
CONTROL FREAK
Same old same old
you already know that same order of things
Do your best LW. Dont just listen to people's dreams, we need your vision just like how LKY was able to do so, avoiding soft policies and being too accommodating. We count on you sir.
Gen Z is more interested in working on self publicity more than others. Afterall, they are born in and living by an era of social media. There is still much to observe and watch on whether current leadership has strong vision for future. No doubt on their commitment, passion and willingness to go forward as the 4G governing team. Still much to work on their leading and visionary abilities that we had and saw in previous pioneer leaders. Although very clear on their working as a team. All the best.
PAP says sinkapo enjoys good economic perform of sinkapo, full employment of sinkapoleans, sinkapo is well managed, then why lawlence wong now say he needs urgent solve problems of economic, employment, high cost of living? PAP lying?

Asset enhancement
Then PM Goh Chok Tong's assurance in 1992 that HDB prices will “continue to rise” only to be told in 2017 by National Development Minister Lawrence Wong that prices will “come down” until the flats are eventually returned to HDB.
He dont have the steel tough image
Wow i envy singapore leaders mindset , no change in policy when gov change
It was expected lee hsien LOONG will be senior minister same wayang again Lawrence Wong.will sing same song
Ishwaran leh? got continue to serve? F1 will be different without him.. 😆
WILL MISS his Nice WIDE Smile with OBS
Thanks for 9% GST
Now COST of LIVING Has Gone UP BY Ave 30%
Still poor?! Too bad for you!😝
@vincecarlo Death and Life have their determined appointments. Riches and honours depends on Heaven.
Hopefully he will speak Malay fluently like LKY, GCT, and LHL
Can he speak Hainanese?
Drink the magic water
At least he use the term “singaporeans”…..looking forward to changes that benefit us.
My opinion is that PM Lee will be like a puppet master as Senior Minister until his son enters politics and becomes the real long term Prime Minister.Somewhat similar to GCT situation.Lets see, i hope i am wrong though.We forget that HC holds a lot of power as well.
If he do an anawar go after the corruption i think singapore will clap for him
He always says many words without saying much. Must there be LHL polishing? Shame he does not mention LKY... Lhl would have been nothing without his daddy. Go watch LKYs speeches. Clear as freaking day.
