Singapore’s incoming leader says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will stay on as senior minister in the government after he steps down next month. Lee, 72, announced Monday that he will end his 20-year rule and hand over to his deputy Lawrence Wong on May 15.
FILE - Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong gestures during a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following a bilateral meeting at the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne, Australia on March 5, 2024. Lee will relinquish his office on May 15 and hand the post to his deputy Lawrence Wong, his office said Monday, April 15, 2024.
Wong will be Singapore’s fourth leader since independence in 1965. The transition has been carefully crafted in the wealthy city-state known for its tight government control, media censorship and use of oppressive laws against dissidents. Wong said the Cabinet will remain largely unchanged, at least until the next general elections due late next year.
