Singapore | Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Sunday he will hand leadership of the ruling People’s Action Party to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong as soon as the party’s 70th anniversary in November 2024, a year before an election is due.
The party is widely expected to extend its dominance of a nation it has ruled since independence in 1965, meaning Mr Wong is likely to become the next – and Singapore’s fourth – premier.
