Lawrence Wong to Become Singapore's Prime Minister on May 15

The upcoming leadership change marks a significant generational shift in Singapore's political landscape.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will step down on May 15, passing leadership to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
The transition, accelerated due to global geopolitical tensions, sets the stage for an early general election.
Wong's leadership will be tested at the National Day Rally, a key moment before the general election.
The new Prime Minister's priorities include managing ministerial appointments and connecting with the Singaporean public.
This leadership change represents the final milestone in a generational shift that began during the COVID-19 pandemic.
