Congratulations and Felicitations to Lawrence Wong, the 4th prime minister of Singapore!
As a public servant, he was well known for his strong policy work and grasp of economics. Some even saw him as a policy wonk, or someone with a particularly keen interest in the finer details of policy.
A few key challenges will test Lawrence Wong capabilities. They are not easy but I do trust Lawrence will bring us over them and will make Singapore better and better, without doubt.
I identify one of the major is, navigating China-US rivalry may be challenging for the new Singaporean leadership. This is especially so if the two major powers attempt to pressure the island-state to take sides, a point that the current Prime Minister Lee has drawn attention to publicly several times.
The China-US rivalry directly impacts Singapore's domestic political dynamics too, as there is a divergent perception of China and the United States between Singaporean elites and the general population.
I am not a political person but I do feel Lawrence's capabilities, accountability and problem solving skills. All these will help him to grow the country, not limited to economy, culture, community etc... His leadership has also been proven through the several years of service in politics. Lawrence, you can do it!
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will be sworn in as Singapore's fourth prime minister on May 15. Let's welcome and cheers for Lawrence on his new post! All the best and bring Singapore to another level of glory.@TigerGPT
