[SINGAPORE] The year 2025 may be remembered as solidifying Singapore’s transition to its fourth-generation (4G) leadership.
This year should bring a clearer sense of the 4G team’s priorities, with its economic strategy review to be completed by mid-year.
The city-state’s leadership transition officially began when Prime Minister Lawrence Wong took the reins in May 2024. But it was only a year later that he led the People’s Action Party (PAP) in his first general election (GE) as PM – and to an improved vote share of 65.57 per cent, bucking the trend of new prime ministers seeing lower vote shares.
