PM Lee's last major speech as Singapore premier could be a precursor to the PAP's election plans, according to ex-MP Inderjit Singh.
SINGAPORE: Political analysts have characterised Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s May Day speech as a precursor to an impending general election, predicting that that the polls might be called by the end of 2024.
Eugene Tan, an associate professor at Singapore Management University, noted that the speech aimed to bring the country together ahead of the transition of power. Mr Singh, who served alongside Prime Minister Lee as a member of the Ang Mo Kio GRC, stated that the speech focused on how “the PAP system is effective, and Singaporeans should believe that the PAP government will also play a role in the future.”With the upcoming transition, Prime Minister Lee aimed to boost confidence in the new leadership team.
