I think I saw in an interview that he lost his dog in 2020, which was also a very tough year for him, having to deal with COVID matters at the same time while dealing with personal pain . Respect to this guy!

All the best to LW. Very humble person, ready to serve the country. God bless him and give him wisdom and discernment to govern well.

God bless Singapura.... love from NZL.

He is always Very tactful and professional in good speech. Humble as well. Respectable. Best candidate. God bless him 🎉

I have started to have a bit of faith in you now to lead us forward after watching this interview video just now to understand you better. I like your smile and speeches (it's good that I can finally listen to your chinese and malay speeches alr today rather than solely english during the 'Ready to Lead' programme!) so far and wish you all the best for your leadership transition tomorrow!

Mr Wong and his family have sacrificed their personal life in serving the nation. He likely the last to leave the office as he likely to stay back to assist his successor just like previous 3 PM did. Life is fated and work strangely. If its yours, its yours. If its not your calling, no matter how hard you try it wont work. Its great to see he selected 2 experienced deputies to assist him. Btw just read local article on National fencing champion Puah Zee Cher have to ownself sponsor for overseas competition by doing odd jobs such as dish washing, waitering. He did not qualify for govt. funding cos of his low rank. He has to work to secure own funding instead of resting for competion. How come there is no case by case by the relevant officials ? Try to put yourself in the shoes of these aspiring young men and women and dont shut the door tight for anyone to get in. Not everyone earns more than $ 4 k a month. Cultivate empathy, that will help you to make wiser decision. Search for dark horses from unlikely places. No one notice his talents or just keep quiet about it ??? Walk the ground. Very happy to read the reporter report his aspiring story instead of sweeping under the carpet. Hope the govt take charge and refine the system.

Mr. Wong has exhibited being equiped to become a worthy successor to be our next PM and fully capable with assurance to lead us forward confidently to a new era of nation building upon taking over the helm to bring our Republic of Singapore to new heights !!! We wish his team every success on this momentous endevour of nation building !!!

Their transition plan & handing over of leadership should be emulated by other countries.

Such secret votings probably similar to one of a beauty contest psychology whereby the person voting will also guess and consider who the rest will vote and they will try to play safe, just in case.

Great choice

I'm glad that our PM can speak the mother tongue just like ex-PM Lee. Many Singaporeans being primarily schooled in English now regard Chinese with quite a little bit of disdain. The predominant use of English unavoidably influences our point of view to become more aligned with that of the Anglo-Saxon world. We're also easy target of western media propaganda not least of all that of our own CNA which very apparently is infiltrated by NED/CIA and staffed with many journalists from countries like the Philippines or India who are similarly indoctrinated to toe the western line. Some Singaporeans even take pride in speaking Chinese haltingly as if this is a mark of social progress. Fact is the overwhelming majority don't speak English well either: Can't speak mother tongue properly + Can't speak English well = Good for nothing Good for nothing + Pretend to be perfectly in tune with all things Christian and Anglo-Saxon = KEH ANGMOH

Ownself govern ownself lah...

3:01 "The outcome of the progress", let's hope Singapore's progress brings an outcome honestly through you, Mr Wong. Senior Minister can be laid to rest.

Lawrence Wong is the least polarising of the 4th generation of leaders. Same with his two deputies, solid and dependable people. Singapore does not care for populists or colourful characters as leaders. The more unspectacular, the better. If any of those ex-armed forces generals had become the PM and DPMs, the ruling junta would have lost credibility.

All tis nobody want to know lah eh??we want to know wat r u going to do to make our life better only for singaporeans tats all..

is waran where

158th media should ask Wong directly, so who are the 4 ministers ,office holders who did support him? But then what would you expect of the 158th media!😆😆😆

Obviously nepotism

Not even Lawrence Wong thought he would be PM as everyone thought CCS being the PAP Deputy Gen-Sec was the 2nd choice. But Lawrence Wong had the confidence of most of his peers with his ability to steer SG through the crisis. His calm and collected leadership with a strong touch of empathy drew people to him while CCS' abrasive manner rubbed people the wrong way.

19 күн бұрын

Not sure if our definition of "having iron" are similar, but my thoughts are that someone that has "some iron in him/her" might not be selected by the peers (or even voters) in this era. I guess Singaporeans in this era are totally different from 1965-2000. After WW2, we desperately in need of a leader that "have iron" to steer the country out of turmoil asap. Nowadays, everyone is highly educated, people want to be more participative and their views to be heard, and this warrants the emergence of a more receptive and open kind of leader. This is not a bad thing but I thought there should be some balance between both. This reminds me of in the olden days, "parents are really parents" whereas nowadays, "parents are more like friends"...

@@leonardodavinci3263 I respectfully disagree with the notion that Lawrence Wong lacks "iron." In this modern era, the qualities that define effective leadership have evolved. If we consider Mr. Wong's capabilities using different elements, we see a broader spectrum of strengths: Aluminum signifies his adaptability and agility, crucial for navigating the complex challenges of governance with a forward-thinking approach. Tungsten represents his resilience and steadfastness, embodying the toughness required to withstand political and economic pressures. Titanium illustrates his integrity and robustness, essential for maintaining ethical standards and strength in the face of adversity. Silver reflects his eloquence and transparency, vital for clear communication and connecting genuinely with the community. Gold underscores his pursuit of excellence and high ethical standards, fostering respect and striving for achievement on both domestic and international stages. These elements, each valuable and distinct, collectively represent the multifaceted leadership that Mr. Wong brings to his role as Singapore's Prime Minister.

He is third choice after heng and chan.
