Lawrence will set the examples of honesty, competency, forward looking and inspiration. Most importantly, I hope he can be a PM that can see something that needs change and take the initiative👍

the challenge ahead will be bumpy, he's a cool guy, fluent speaker, and tackles issues head-on.

Good governance and wise choice.

“ Shareholders “ LOL…

The Current PM should just step down completely and let the next PAP PM helm the position. PM Lee should not be given any Senior Minster post or Emeritus post to be pulling the strings from behind and instructing the next PM to follow PM Lee's Policy or party's whip.

Great choice!

Choose a old deputy…. Going to retire soon to look for new deputies… my thoughts..

He must sit in nicely n steadily into the sit to b perfectly perform his duties. It's a huge responsibility.. do take care. 4G must succeed for Singapore, good n accurate vision is important too. Many blessings for Singapore.

Thank God for such wisdom from PM, Mr Lee HL to select a PM designate. He has set a precedent for selection process so that unity of the government remains, if not stronger. What an encouragemeant!

Funeral wake also more lively than this press conference.🤭

hello

21:40 speaking of his original plan to step down before age 70.

Congratulations on your leadership succession plan!

Political threatre

There are flaws with LW, and like some, is not my first choice too. But his advantage is relative youth. Just like the well-respected Lee Hsien Loong who first came into politics and many don’t like him initially, I hope LW can also go thru an equivalent transformation to be the next great statesman from Singapore.

Lawrence Wong will be great

Nothing is forever. Everything on earth is fluid. What u see now might not be what you see down the road especially with the volatility of human nature, just take it now, this moment, who's know?? 🤔 🤔 Especially where there is a saying change is constant.. The nature of law we do not know.. Only spirit and unseen know..

not only to 4Gs but also to SSGs cpf insufficient to support love ones overseas. Kindly look into it,its not one but many is facing these problem

👍👍a great s'pore govt.

Majulah PAP! God bless Singapore!🇸🇬🙏

LHL seemed unhappy with the last question to LW and didn’t want more question to be asked after that.

Mr Khaw choose himself i also support :)

Congratulations, Sir 🙏. God bless 🙌.

Loong you don't seam ok I'n health it seams some thing is not right

Hahaha happy like mad , increase salary

The problem of successor to LHL in the govrrnment might have been resolved, but the real challenge for Lawrence Wong ahead is for him to garner the full support of the whole PAP, especially the grassroots, and mobilise them to win the next GE. The choice of leadership at this stage was made only by the political elite of PAP. Is it endorsed by the ranks and files of PAP and the voters, who might have other choices in their minds. Don't forget that the bulk of Lawrence Wong's career and working experiences are in top government services. This might be his strength in governance and formulating policies, but could be a determining weakness in heat and hustle of ground politics especially in elections. He cannot just be the head of the government, he has to be the leader of PAP which can winthe hearts of Singaporeans. In a democracy, no one can say for sure that PAP will win the majority in the parliement in the next GE and Lawrence Wong will remain (or become) the next PM.

End of Singapore....sigh

Dear DPM Lawrence Wong, Congratulations & I am so proud to have you as our future PM. God Bless PAP Government. God Bless Singapore. Majullah Singapura!

Once the next generation of leadership acquired sufficient governmental experiences, it is about time to transfer the baton and go into a belated retirement. It is better happened sooner than continued be delay down the road into an uncertain future. 🥳🥳

CCS and OYK were senior to Lawrence Wong in the civil service. At one point, OYK was even LW's direct boss. Now he's going to be their boss, assess their performances, and decide how many months bonuses they will get 😂

Still showing no confidence in the new leader n the 4G team! NATO!

Can one be threathened with arrest for asking a simple , reasonable , relevant , healthy , good question in regard to what happen after hdb 99 yr lease ?

all planted questions.. answers prepared in advance

PM Lee is very wise.

🟡 To prepare a successful leadership for the future of Singapore, the PAP must not repeat the fiasco of the Aljunied Town Council. .. whereby the MPs were bought to court by Mr Khaw Boon Wan and charged for corruption.

Well done Minister Wong.

Best choice

PAP's army of grassroots cockroaches are so active here. Not yet durian season, but they all came out already. Ha ha ha!

🇸🇬👍㊗️

Very sad. I love PM Lee. Finally he have to retire.

Congratulation Mr. Lawrence Wong

Own self choose,own self vote..

Dear PM Wong , are singaporeans allowed to freely ask about HDB tenure , will one be threathened with getting arrested for asking some relevant good reasonable questions ? LKY and GCT did ot encourage inter racial relationship then why do LHL pap encourages inter racial relationship ? Will pap continue to encourage inter racial relationship to make singapore into a nation of hybrid foreign alien mixed bastards generation , during LKY and GCT management , there are no ceca and very much lesser inter racial relationship compared to past 10 years during LHL management . What is you opinion in regard to the above question ?

Proud and hypocritical.

Really, I remembered your sniggering laugh when u proudly announced your vax n booster. Inhumane to display such attitude in front of the tv. All eyes r on you how u carried yourself.

黄循财能力是很强，王乙康能力会比较差。但是我比较喜欢王乙康的人格，不太喜欢黄循财的人格。Ong Ye Kung is for the people, he has connected Singaporeans on so many levels. He listens to feedbacks of the people and finds out doable way to help them. He has heart for the people. This is good as Singapore is going to be a responsible welfare society. While Lawrence Wang is aggressive and arrogant towards Singaporeans. In recent seminar, he has aggressive and arrogant tone towards others' feedbacks, and set his own direction without caring for the consequences caused to those affected. Lawrence Wong has direction, many detailed plans and has execution skill, but Ong Ye Kung can set sensible and balance policies from 2 extremely different goals. Singapore with Lawrence Wong as PM will be very different from now which is heartwarming to the people. I will not love Singapore so much in his care. What Lawrence Wong do best is to create wealth for Singapore, and to manage Singapore's budget. Heng Swee Keat has the strengths of them both. He is a knowledgeable leader, has the respects of all the respectable well-wishers of Singapore. I hope Heng Swee Keat will be voted again as future PM. Although he can only be PM for shorter years, but he can set the direction right for Singapore and lead us to a even better Singapore with his care towards Singaporeans and plans, direction, and ability to balance, with his good execution skills, and respect from Singaporean and the world leaders. Ong Ye Kung is for the people, Lawrence Wong is not really. I'm afraid Lawrence Wong will set his own direction and deter away from the system and ideas of Lee Kuan Yew. The character of Lawrence Wong is so different from the characters of our late PM Lee Kuan Yew and PM Lee Hsien Loong, which are 光明正大，真心为国为民，真心体恤民生，谦虚温馨，不为自己，不自我，不自私, 不虚假。He is attention and credit seeking in his hidden character, so unlike our soft-spoken and humble PM Lee Hsien Loong.

Hoping for Lawrence wong to be the leader of 4G....at last he did it. Hope he can lead his team forward to make spore great. Is a huge responsibility but I am sure he can do it. He is eloquent fluent n knowledgeable whenever he speaks. Between Chan CS, Ong YK n Lawrence Wong for 4G leader....I very much preferred Lawrence Wong.....sure majority sporeans do. He alwys speak confidently n hoping he with his team support able to bring spore to next level esp nw with uncertainty in the world....not just spore alone......all the best to Mr Wong n his 4G team......☺️
