Full press conference: PM Lee, Khaw Boon Wan on Lawrence Wong being chosen as PAP 4G team leader 

My congratulations to PAP for making an excellent choice . The COVID experience was a rather stressful period, probably exaggerated cause i am single and having lost my job halfway through the pandemic however whenever i heard Mr Lawrence Wong during his daily brief on the COVID situation , i realized that there were so many fellow Singaporeans who probably were worse off than me and the stressful conditions under which Mr Lawrence Wong and his team were operating 24/7. 365 days a year in order to serve their fellow countrymen and women . Listening to his daily briefs, i sensed a true patriot who loves his country.

Congratulations to Minister Lawrence Wong! PAP provides security & economic stability that everyone needs.

Thanx PM Lee Hsien Loong, Minister Khaw Boon Wan and DP Minister Lawrence Wong Sir for sharing this video with us all.. Sincerely Indeed.. 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🌻🌻🕊🕊⚡⚡⚡

Congratulations to dear Minister Lawrence Wong. Wish you all the best.

Congratulations Mr Lawrence Wong may you lead our country into success, stability, most importantly peaceful SINGAPORE 🇸🇬

Singaporean needs a even stronger opposition which will represent our voices.

Glad it's not unanimous. Freedom to choose. Good for Singapore.

This is only the first hurdle. Next, he'll need to win in his own constituency by a comfortable margin at the next GE. Thereafter he'll assemble his team and steer the country through turbulent times.

Looking forward to PM Lawrence Wong! Thank you PM Lee for your tireless service and strong leadership! We won't forget your contributions to our country, PM Lee!

Wow, with Lawrence Wong being the next prime minister, Singapore will continue to be a country that even big and powerful countries will look up too! Best choice! Well done! Lawrence Wong, you have our support!

Singapore is one country that has really prospered through countless challenges from long time ago racial and religious issues to the constant and regular transection of power and unity issues all this while .I really admire the way the PM and his group is doing now for Singapore and the Singaporean and of course happy to let all of us viewers to learn from the Singaporen and its premiere as well.

Congratulations Mr Lawrence Wong hope see you lead singapore soon.

Celebrate , is LW. This is really good news.

Long Life Minister Wong. Long Life PM Lee.

A new era is upon us !I don’t know how to feel about LHL leaving but I’m excited for the future of SG.

Pray for God’s abundant blessings upon Singapore, our new PM, his Cabinet and his team! May God bless PM Lee and his family for their hard work and sacrifices for Singapore all these years! Shalom!

Congratulations MR Lawrence Wong majulah singapore 👍👍👍

I knew Henry Thia would have chosen Jack Neo liang popo! No fight!

Congratulations to Minister Lawrence Wong!

Majulah PAP! God bless Singapore!🇸🇬🙏

When ah will we hear LW say a few word in Malay or Tamil. Why Chinese only. Somehow PM Lee is still very much needed. His experience and upbringing by the legendary LKY is second to none.

Not being a Singaporean, I have always viewed Singapore as an extremely progressive nation with a huge talent pool of able and more importantly, untainted political leaders. Singapore since 1965 under LKY, has transcended all political and ethnic hurdles to become a well respected 1st world nation.

I am sad to see LHL leaving the post but at the same time I am happy that Lawrence Wong will be our next PM..❤️❤️

Dear DPM Lawrence Wong, Congratulations on being our next PM. God Bless PAP! Majullah Singapura!

*Glad is Lawrence cos he is my choice from the start gate cos he speaks very well and collected and diplomatic and smart in many ways so congrats Lawrence*

Good choice. Congratulations Minister Lawrence Wong. I place my confidence in you. Majullah Singapura !!

This is incredible news! Wishing Mr wong the best in taking our country forward!

Dear PM LHL , are singaporeans really be allowed to speak , ask good relevant questions freely , without getting any threaths ?

He's humble and I'll work with his team to make a better Singapore 🇸🇬 👍👍👍👏👏👏

This gave me more confidence with the choice. Way to go, Mr Lawrence Wong! 👍👍

With All Due Respect, Greetings PM Lee Hsien Loong, Minister Khaw Boon Wan And DP Minister Lawrence Wong Sir. Dated: 26th May 2023. Day: Friday. Time: 0435hrs. 🇸🇬

Just do what is possible best for the nation 🙏👍💪 . May our little red dot flourish ever more under this new 4G generation team. Majullah Singapura 👏👏👏

i will only vote for a political party that can govern Singapore well. Unless there is an absolutely credible and capable alternative (plus corruption-free), I dare not vote for any other party other than PAP. I am not saying I die die must vote for PAP forever. I simply mean I can't risk the future of my country and children. It is my right as a citizen to choose. If anyone doesn't agree with me, so be it. So, there is no need to attack my personal choice. Majulah Singapura.

I may be wrong, and if I am, please ignore my contribution. In the previous two occasions, the Singapore founding Father, Mr. lKY was around. There “were probably” several consultations and consensus had been made ahead of the meetings by senior Lee, who was very influential, somewhat participated in running Singapore behind the curtain. Time has changed, Singapore, as they put it “is kinder, gentler, but most importantly is more open, forward thinking, and susceptible”. PM Lee Hsien Loong is a very patriotic, intelligent, and kind man. He understands all the elements and dynamics among his younger party leaders. His main objective is to preserve the unity as well as to identify a new Singapore PM through the process that serves the objective. He and several senior members are still there several more years with new government and cabinet. It is not Mr. Wong who will run Singapore, he is a new facade of the team. Transition will take years so he will have time to mature and prove himself. This is Singapore style, and as someone has put it “Singapore is governed similar to a Business Corporation”.

great succession process. Majulah Singapura 🇸🇬

Excellent Choice and with great innovations. Mr. Lawrence Wong is an excellent choice. He has great style and substance. Mr. Lawrence Wong is well Spoken. He has consistently carried out his work very well. A very confident leader with great ability. IT IS Time A PRIME Minister is not from Oxford or Cambridge. He is an Excellent choice. He is better than Ministers from ACS or from Raffles. Tanjong Katong Secondary school has done very well. A Technically trained Prime Minister and A Top Diplomat For The United Nations. Minister Boon Wan has found GOLD. PRIME Minister LEE, you have ACHIEVED Collective GREATNESS FOR Singapore. PERFECTION. Congratulations. You are now a delightful Team for Singapore. GOD Bless Singapore

Congrats wish you the best to lead Singapore to a greater new heights!

Waiting for Lawrence to sing hokien songs in Teo Heng haha

Mr Lawrence Wong and his team have our absolute support. I’m very excited about our Future!!!

Lawrence Wong hasn't shaken my hand Mr. Minister. How was this appointment approved!

Well done Minister Wong. We wish you all the best. We have faith in you to lead us for the next journey.

*Lawrence is the ultimate choice but I pray that PM Lee will always be around to guide Singapore through cos no one can ever replace PM Lee who is so much respected by other world leaders and indeed PM Lee is recognised all around the world*

Lawrence Wong is ready to take over

I thought they gonna elect Henry Thia

This is meritocracy at work. It is amazing to see the quality of Singapore's Leaders: highly qualified, talented, wise, articulate, and of high integrity. And what a contrast to the leaders of their neighbors to the north.

Low income is no money to rent the room for 500 dollers.

I don't know what happens now.please help me.

Which PM of Singapore 🇸🇬 had/ has corruptedly and authoritarianly plunge the country into debt for own , family or cronies egoistic purposes ?.

Congrates and Big Claps to Mr Lawrence Wong..🥰. TRUST YOU CAN AND BELIEVE YOU THE BEST

Hope for LW to gain the right guidance from LHL to fully manage SGs international relations as well apart frm our domestic concerns

💙🙏💙 Congratulation to Mr Lawrence Wong for being selected as the nezt PM. PM Lee ,at age 70 , will hand over the leadership smoothly and happily. I think it is better to hand over the primiership before the election... and sit back as Senior Minister and enjoy watching the election without stress. The opposition would also be happy to see how Lawrence lead the team. ..Harris Ng YM 👍👍👍👍👍

Looks like the Q&A were prepared beforehand.

Notice much less complaint than CCS?

Win the next GE and hand over for smoother transition.

Wow I love how our government transits the succession to ensure stability of our country 💖

No need to ask for Singaporeans consensus again.

new movie inspiration for Hui Ge and Jack Neo

Doesn't have the same authenticity as PM LHL.

Congratulations Mr Lawrence Wong🙏👍💪

Did she called out Warren or Lawrence lol.

No need to kee chiu liao,woohooo!!!!

Great Decision.😊

As long as he follows Klaus Schwab plan it should work out

Reliable and trustworthy s'pore govt. 👍🙂

Please, what achievement has Lawrence wong accomplished.

Congratulations Mr Wong, I am so pleased to have you lead us.

what a big shock and disruption when successor heng swee kiat refused pm lee's pm job ! now laurence wong is succesor, else can you imagine sg has no one to be pm ?!

Lawrence ah congratulations, you have my support 😘

Hi, What did Mr. Lawrence Wong, PM Lee, Ms. Ng ling ling and Mr. Darryl David did for Ang Mo Kio area or even Singapore? Nothing much really. Only every year give out $400 or 500 in GST money and some Water and Groceries subsidies and the PAP call themselves a great or decent government Lol 😅😂.

lawrence, your chinese still sound very kentang lol

Biggest hinderance are the 30% Champion Grumblers and Haters who endlessly complain, bitch, point finger and blame govt for anything that goes wrong in their life. That's what LKY observed btw.

The core substance is uncorrupted and character hearted oriented leadership !.

You see Mr Lawrence wong fought so hard these past 2 years.... Remember the early days of covid ? Every few days press conference for covid, sibey tiring.

The 5G leaders, if I could add, should be by then, be daringly left for Singaporeans to search, propose and support and they should be none other than the patriotic, knowledgeable, fearless, experienced, and successful Singaporeans to be directly elected by Singaporeans in the next general elections which should be state-funded to give it the never thought of but the futuristically possible festival mood in thanking it's retiring leaders and welcoming its new ones. This will be the most improved and sustainable method for Singaporeans. Cheers!!!🙏-TSW

Mr. Lawrence Wong's strong point in a political view, he is in the limelight in the Covid situation. Singaporean like the way he talks and convinces the nation. Other than that he is normal, however, he is willing to take the challenge ahead of him for us Singaporean.

黄部长，你将要承担的不是一份工作而已，而是一个使命！

How comePM not from other ethnic groups? Only President is the minority group. I look forward to see a non Chinese PM.

Congratulations to Singapore and Singaporeans for showing maturity in ascertaining Singapore First over everything making sure than Singapore and Singaporeans progresses unhindered under all circumstances adverse or otherwise to be expected. This augurs well for the smooth transition, from the 3rd generations to the 4th with as least to worry and with most to confide and confirm that its leaders decision is taken wholeheartedly in the best interest of its people and nation. As in Lawrence Wong’s words, he vows to continue secure his 4G Team and all others to best serve as able as he could which he acknowledged will never be perfect, but if mistakes do happens, will revisit and learn from it, making sure to improve on it. This is most reassuring and for this he deserves the chance and for PM Lee to handover leadership to Lawrence once he is ready. Cheers!!!🙏-TSW

Saya ada di labuan wilaya perseketuan pulau dekkat ke berinai

Thankfully PM Lee welldone choose New👍🏻 😁 Minsters MR WONG👍🏻⭐ welldone♥️ Iwish Minster Mr wong Greater fully👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Curious...answering the first question, he was reading the answr from his handout. Does that mean that the questions were submitted beforehand?

Great

Congratulations Mr Lawrence Wong. ⭐️

Hope Mr Lawrence Wong is not appointed as a seat warmer for an eventual Lee family member in 10 years. LHL should not be senior minister in the cabinet but remain as a consultant only to be consulted upon in a passive position holding no authority over cabinet decisions whatsoever. MR Lawrence Wong must be given free rein to take Singapore into a difficult probably different world political landscape. He should prove himself capable to navigate post Covid world and balance relationships between nations to benefit the people bring harmonious living, first class standard healthcare, equitable wealth distribution, jobs for seniors upholding their dignity at workplace and in society, a fair just treatment of freedom of expression, defeat and fence off foreign interference, manage people’s aspiration to be a world citizen to be relevant in world economy and global politics. Let Mr Lawrence Wong stature to rise to standard set by LKY in the world stage.

黄循財👍王乙康副总理👍李显龍国务資政👍🙏㊗️

PAP skrg dah ubah nama jadi Pfizer Action Party. Yang penting semua rakyat diheret pergi cucuk. Siapa yang enggan mematuhi perintah ditamatkan mata pencarian. Tapi tengoklah keadaan kat Shanghai tu. Kan semua orang Shanghai pun patuhi semua perintah CCP betul tak? Nasib akhirnya macamana semua dah tahu dah.

It is better for lsl hand over now before the next election! I hope the new PM must place more emphasis on the lower strata of the society!

Welcome to tax hike, 200k COE, confusing orders, 20% GST and risky foreign policies.

better listen to your people. young generation can see through you

The rest of the world should emulate the Singapore 🇸🇬 open , untainted people loving and people at heart friendly government !.

It's time for HLLee to retire and rest for the sake of his health. from the look of his attire can tell his health is not very good anymore. Do it soonest on handling over to Lawrence Wong. God bless each and every one of them, that are involved

I have only one piece of advice to Lawrance: The longer you take to tell LHL you are ready to take over, the weaker you are perceived to be. In short, to fight the next GE as a prime minister is your only choice. Period.

I like the new consensus way of next PM selection. If they had used this method of selection in the past, perhaps Singaporeans may not be as unhappy that LHL took over PM leadership then.

I hope LHL will stay on as Senior Minister or in a mentor role. Lawrence Wong is a great choice but it's still kinda scary when the change finally happens.
