SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (pic) said that he is moving boldly to put members of the fourth-generation leadership in positions of heavy responsibility so that a new team can be ready to take over from him shortly after the next General Election.
Speaking at a press conference to announce the new Cabinet following the Sept 11 polls, where the ruling PAP won 69.9% of the vote, PM Lee affirmed that his successor would be from this new Cabinet – if not, “something would have gone unexpectedly”, he said at the Istana yesterday.
