After nearly 20 years in office, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will hand over the reins of power to his deputy, Lawrence Wong, on May 15, 2024. Lee leaves office with the city state maintaining a reputation as a neutral and independent regional power, as well as a major diplomatic hub. His 51-year-old successor has risen steadily within the ranks of government since his introduction to politics in 2011. Wong is expected to keep Singapore on its current domestic and international policy path.

"Senator, I'm Singaporean..."
Again, the SCMP video editor has the weird choice of BGM.
They just have one library, which is AudioNetwork. Most are just from Terry Devine-King.
Singapore is like a utopia, I am a big fan of Singapore, the Singapore government is really building the best country in the world
Congratulations Lawrence Wong on your new appointment as Singapore new PM
Why the despairing music?
See? Singaporean may be multi-cultured, multi-ethinic nation, doesn't make them "Chinese" by national.
wth are you on about?
Bruh the president is Indian
Okay. But it is the chinese who lifted the nation to what it becomes today.
Hardworking chinese Singaporean
@@firefly4326 and?

If I was born in Singapore I would hold the most powerful passport in the world ♥️
Excited to see SG's next chapter. All the best to PM Wong!
Congratulations PM Lawrence Wong! Majulah Singapura!
What is with the back ground music?
HORMAT SM LEE. HORMAT PM WONG. HORMAT SINGAPORE 🇸🇬 🇸🇬 🇸🇬
What's with the new background music, sounds ominous!
You overthinking, I think its serious to match with the appointment of the role though.
Singapore is not a Chinese country and certainly not a province of China or 坡縣。We are a multi-racial nation.
Singapore is a small Island Country from 1965 from former British colony until 1963 former Malaysian city until 2 years in 1965, August 9th became a small Island country Singapore.
It's a special administrative Pradesh of India one day
@@joetrump2983 At the rate they are importing CECAs, yea it will lol
Okay. But it is the chinese who lifted the nation to what it becomes today.
Hardworking chinese Singaporean
@@firefly4326 and it's the ceca thats is taking over you, keep voting pap
Since kicked out of Malaysia Federation and became independent. It's all been about survival. SG understands that to survive, the region needs to thrives and stability is impt. It not in SG interest to hope for others to fail and capitalise on their loses for self gain. But surely there will be folks who are highly critical and prejudiced on sg stands and hope for the city state to fail.
Singapore is a role model for authoritarian states in the east, proving to the world that non-Anglo-Saxon philosophies and politics can succeed.
😂 it failed
@@deschan2246 it is failing, no land for food and water
@@deschan2246 you failed, Singapore didn't
Only Singapore can succeed
@@ct9245 China has always learnt from Singapore and progressed, laws, housing policies, etc.
It takes 13 years to be PM. So fast.
Lee is 100% not out of politics...
So clever
He's only 74. He retired after a 20 year stay in power, and he's still younger than both Biden and Trump.
@joliecide that is an usa issue, just look at malaysia 90 years old can win election. That been said I think Lee will never leave until he dies, I wonder if there is gona be a third Lee waiting in line
@@joliecideHe still appointed as Senior Minister. The only country that has that role.
Clever people do clever things ,
Confirm GST increase to 10% which will implement earlier than expected.
Other nations ‘s is 25% to 45%
Nah, usually the increase is 2%
Do you remember it starts at 3% then increased to 5% then to 7% and in Jan 2023, they intend to increase another 2% to 9% but because of the previous 2019 covid pandemic and the Ukraine war which slow down the economy around the world and at that time, many Singapoean were complaining about having a difficult time so they decided to increase 1% on Jan 2023 and the other 1% on Jan 2024.
So, if they decided to increase again probably in another 5 to 7 years time, it will be 2% increase which is 11% from today's 9%. We'll see.
Will their ever come another lee kuan yew, it seem like the successors are not to his level
Fortune teller
LKY was a once-in-century global statesman. His successors may not look as impressive in comparison, but they’re already head and shoulders above the norm compared to most politicians around the world.
lets hope Singapore stay neutral
About?
neutral on what ?
@@Paul-H-Wolfram6608 in politics
in your dream
Dont worry. Big brothers in asea will keep the succesful lil bro spore in check.
"kurleegs" or "korleegs" or a decidedly local accent doesn't matter because I like the unpretentious way he speaks to address Singaporeans. No need to try to be LKY-esque or speak with the disarming charm of Tharman - it's all about the substance of it. I also saw him through the Covid pandemic when he was on the frontline to reassure and galvanize a terrified populace! I used to be hellbent against pap (i still have that streak of rebellion though now much mellowed maybe because of advancing age). Watching his purposeful leadership during the Covid years did change me a lot.

When the real crisis emerged, I could then differentiate between the wise and selfless leaders we're fortunate to have versus the erratic, incompetent and even childish leaders in a number of supposedly more "enlightened" western countries!
From Singapore’s Perspective , Singapore english is standard english , while American’s english is english dialect , British ‘s english is also english dialect .
UNCLE WONG DESCENDENT OF MADAM WONG ❤❤❤
descendants of Wong San
Gotta love that ominous soundtrack of impending doom..😂
One of his ball in China hand the other in US 😂
Another chapters of the Singapore "guided democracy" stories.
Which Lee children is going to break their father's hope of not entering into politics and become the 5th PM.
Nothing change except PM has a better looking wife this time.
Its still known as improvement
I simply don't understand why North Korea would agree to a meeting with Donald Trump in Singapore.
They had met in Singapore
It was the only neutral place they could go where neither of them would be heckled. 😂 The silly timeline.
4th Mr Lawrence Wong

According to the Democracy Index, Singapore is currently categorised as a Flawed Democracy, same as Belgium and Israel. Hong Kong, however, is categorised as a Hybrid Regime heading towards Authoritarianism.
USA is #1 in democracy. But Americans are sleeping on the streets.
The USA is categorically the epitome of FLAWED DEMOCRACY with shameless corporate lobbyists eliminating true people representation.
You have 2 equally rotten parties - Democrats and Republicans - and either can only offer clowns as a presidential candidate. What real choice do ordinary American voters have? A duopoly?
At least in Malaysia or Singapore, we have significantly more party choices for the electorate. In the US, the White House as the highest institution of the land is but a veritable DAILY CIRCUS and laughing stock of the world (though a dangerous one at that for our world!)
It still much better than many of 3rd worlds nations in Asia
how does usa rank on DI?
Was he elected?
Yes, not by frivolous votes of the public,but by the govt itself though.
So , a thorough thought thru choice rather than the mass public with bias and prejudice choices.
@@delphinegoh9056 that isn’t democracy isn’t it ?
Then why vote for general assembly then? Since as u put it , bias and public opinion shouldn’t be considered
So maybe cancel this years general election
Wonder a match up between Tharman and Lawrence
Who Wud he voted president and who pm
Would have been interesting
Does Indian directly elect Modi? Does Briton directly elect Sunakh?
😁😆😅🤫🤫🤫
@@djibicisseDoes Indian directly elect Modi? Does Briton directly elect Sunakh?

@@mujur9101
Your actions will be the reverse of your claims here and you people know it.
Otherwise,why the negative towards a Chinese PM?
Does a Chinese PM mean default favouritism towards Chinese?
What's you people worry?
Old tactics 😴
Test
I wonder how much power Lee will retain in this new government
Doesnt matter what power. As long as pokemon power is responsible and is able to take Singapore forward.
Why u care about what power. Sotong!
@@firefly4326😂 u r correct about sotong.
The end of the end, only money/economy is real.
Most democratic country are take over by incapable ideologies can talk very well, that's why they are falling.
mini CCP in SEA...anyway they are the best perform nation
Haha they're richer than your country, just because a country has a majority Chinese population, doesn't mean it is a CCP puppet. That's like saying white people's countries are US/CIA's lapdogs. Look at Taiwan, a majority Han Chinese country that rebel against China's way of governing and thinking
@@booaks2980Actually Singapore is a US puppet. Otherwise regime change. The so called human rights and lack of democracy are convenient excuse for US to bully Singapore
heng ahhh..... not another army guy, not CCS. Majulah Singapura.
As a Hong Kong Chinese, it's sad to see Singapore overtook HK as the financial hub of Asia.
😞😞😞
Why sad? Hk can always overtake Singapore anytime, no problem. It’s a fair competition. Is it very glamorous to be financial hub of Asia? We in Singapore certainly don’t see any changes being financial hub of Asia nor think it is so that great with that title
@@summerapple7062
I don’t buy what you said, you Singaporeans always dream about how to overtake Hong Kong.
You ppl are riding on the top of the wall, and trying to take advantage from both sides. 🤣
A "Hong Kong Chinese" “Mohammed Kumar”/“Hkchinese”/”wynn” 🤣
The least "Hong Kong chinese" in the world
Hello Sam shudra 😁
Hopefully his thick black hair would remain as it is after he becomes the PM.
Thats agains nature , SG leaders dont practice to dye their hair colour ,
They thinks thats no meaning to do such
Seatwarmer Number 2 .
For the Albino?
When Mr. Wong becomes Singaporean PM, China's 🇨🇳 dream becomes more of a reality after Tibet, East Turkistan, HK, or the SCS.
It’s the Sinophobic bot farm “Lastetc", "lastetc", "verylastetc", "nextlastetc" bot.
He speaks like a robot, no soul, no emotions, .. just like his country ..
The princeling seat warmer
World of different between PM Lee and successor....all will be clear in mid to end 2025....how this happens....
"Even now the evil seed of what you've done germinates within you. I require the solace of the shadows and the dark of the night. SUNSHINE IS MY DESTROYER!"
- Lawrence Wong, maybe
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? You get such impressive speeches in Parliament and in the media so that the average SG IQ might seem to hit the roof at 140. But then, in a period of crisis or even in peaceful times, I believe SG collapses irreversibly in 2 weeks' time!
Not peoples' choice.
Singapore is a bright version of North Korea
So Hongkong lose to a North Korea wannabe?
Most countries in the World will reassemble North Korea if they are bullied by sanctions
nobody is gonna say this: but it's gonna speed up Singapore's Christianization
Puppet installed 😂😂😂😂
Obedient & Spineless Puppet
Real puppet is the president, everyone in the world knows except the green eyed mobsters munching on sour grapes 😆😆😆
The downfall of Sg with this clown in power now
You, surely, is the clown.
Might as well elect your father right? Clown
oh u wish dont u
@@jen5138 not I wish, it should be you wish it wouldn't happened
He's been a bit ignorant with the currency front as an Exporter..
Only if Hk can becaome like Singapore in term of Race relation!
Pass HK to Singapore to rule then
@@ct9245 While in future Singapore will be Brother no. 2 of china. 🤣
