Heng, who's 60 this year, had cited his age as an obstacle in steering the country in a post-pandemic world.Heng will relinquish his role as finance minister, but remains the country's deputy prime minister and coordinating minister for economic policies.In addition to Wong, analysts identified three other potential candidates for prime minister:Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing, 51, who will become education minister in the new cabinet.Minister for Transport Ong Ye Kung, 51, who will become health minister.Desmond Lee, 44, who will remain as minister for national development.The ruling People’s Action Party has governed Singapore since the country’s independence in 1965. The party suffered one of itsworst electoral showingslast year, winning 83 out of 93 parliamentary seats and 61% of the votes.Lee, the current prime minister, had previously said he was ready to retireby the time he turns 70. However, he later indicated he would delay his handover to see Singapore through the Covid-19 crisis.Lee is 69 this year.After Heng’s surprise announcement, Lee said he would stay on as prime minister until a new successor emerges and is ready to take over.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":372181076,"gmtCreate":1619186003995,"gmtModify":1704720966517,"author":{"id":"3567309024182924","authorId":"3567309024182924","name":"Merc8123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/272ac8fc3161896715581d7053587a3f","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"How is this going to affect Gamestop?","listText":"How is this going to affect Gamestop?","text":"How is this going to affect Gamestop?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372181076","repostId":1144940040,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":372348404,"gmtCreate":1619182320708,"gmtModify":1704720884036,"author":{"id":"3566244878628904","authorId":"3566244878628904","name":"Wallstrtbets","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6c38bbee1121ea92508ad9508fa15c5e","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372348404","repostId":1144940040,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":372322487,"gmtCreate":1619181026549,"gmtModify":1704720859326,"author":{"id":"3568767074509962","authorId":"3568767074509962","name":"liberlyivan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/383c8dd589aa20334eda1e85d27224e3","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"excited!&nbsp;","listText":"excited!&nbsp;","text":"excited!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372322487","repostId":1144940040,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":372323245,"gmtCreate":1619180569987,"gmtModify":1704720853823,"author":{"id":"3574736103389937","authorId":"3574736103389937","name":"JCKL488","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b46f479e98d6cf2484ad9c767786e663","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Potential contender now for next PM of Singapore&nbsp;","listText":"Potential contender now for next PM of Singapore&nbsp;","text":"Potential contender now for next PM of Singapore","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372323245","repostId":1144940040,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4114484,"gmtCreate":1619188328867,"gmtModify":1680785297708,"authorId":3573540190522229,"author":{"id":3573540190522229,"authorId":3573540190522229,"name":"Targarean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/59de1c73df3e7e460bd84cc786850fa6","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493-2","templateUuid":"1026c425416b44e0aac28c11a0848493","name":"Senior Tiger","description":"Join the tiger community for 1000 days","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0063fb68ea29c9ae6858c58630e182d5","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96c699a93be4214d4b49aea6a5a5d1a4","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35b0e542a9ff77046ed69ef602bc105d","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2023.10.11","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1001},"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":372323245,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Seems like it, aint it","text":"Seems like it, aint it","html":"Seems like it, aint it"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":372381584,"gmtCreate":1619178188648,"gmtModify":1704720827575,"author":{"id":"3579343091008394","authorId":"3579343091008394","name":"JollyBee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bda177a64ab7e899518f5a76c54348c0","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Is time to hand over.
