Singapore's Leadership Transition to Lawrence Wong Under Lee Hsien Loong's Legacy

Singapore's upcoming transition in leadership from Lee Hsien Loong to Lawrence Wong marks the first change in power in two decades. Lawrence Wong, a US-trained economist and deputy to Lee, will face challenges such as addressing the cost of living, inequality, and immigration issues.

As the first leader born after the country's independence, Wong is tasked with navigating an upcoming parliamentary election and growing opposition concerns. While Singapore has seen economic prosperity under Lee, discontent persists over high living costs and limited freedoms, raising questions about the sustainability of the nation's model.
