Singapore Gets New PM After 20 Years: Who is Lawrence Wong? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Lawrence Wong has become Singapore's new Prime Minister. Wong took the oath today and became only the fourth Prime Minister in Singapore's history. The outgoing Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, has stepped down after about 20 years in power. The handover has been in the works for years. Wong was selected as Lee's replacement back in 2022. Who is Lawrence Wong, the man chosen to continue Lee Hsien Loong's legacy? Wong is the first Prime Minister to be born after Singapore became independent. He comes from a humble background, and worked as an economist in Singapore's civil service before joining politics.
