Citat:
Lawrence Wong has been sworn in as Singapore’s first new prime minister in 20 years and only its fourth leader since independence, capping a carefully calibrated power transfer aimed at ensuring continuity in the wealthy city-state.
Citat:
Lee will remain in Wong’s cabinet as senior minister, as former prime ministers have done, preserving the political clout of the long-serving Lee family.
His father stepped down as leader in 1990 and stayed on in the cabinets of his successors for 21 years, initially as senior minister then as “minister mentor” in his son’s government.
In his final major speech on May 1, Lee urged people to rally behind Wong and emphasised that Singapore’s stable politics had enabled long-term planning.
“I feel a sense of satisfaction and completeness,” an emotional Lee told the crowd.
