He questioned, 'Is Lawrence Wong taking over the reins of the PAP or does LHL intend to remain secretary-general? Is this a false dawn?'
SINGAPORE: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s estranged younger brother, Lee Hsien Yang, has questioned whether soon-to-be PM Lawrence Wong can really call the shots if the current premier remains in the Cabinet.
Expressing doubt as to whether Mr Wong will be able to lead Singapore without influence, Mr Lee Hsien Yang questioned on Facebook: “PM Lee Hsien Loong will become SM Lee Hsien Loong. So can Lawrence Wong really call the shots? Is Lawrence Wong taking over the reins of the PAP or does LHL intend to remain secretary-general? Is this a false dawn?”
Aside from PM Lee’s impending shift in cabinet position, the rest of the cabinet will remain as it is. Mr Wong has announced that the next Cabinet reshuffle will only take place after the next election.
