SINGAPORE — To try to ensure long-term good leadership, “a strong and capable” fourth-generation (4G) leadership team has been put in place to take over from the current leadership, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Wednesday (April 19).
However, the 4G team will need everyone’s support to see through the safety and well-being of the country, Mr Lee said in Parliament., was talking about how to keep a good system of leadership going in Singapore, even after the existing team which he leads steps down.
Speaking on the 4G leadership, Mr Lee said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, Singapore experienced first-hand the importance of strong political leadership. Mr Lee said that the quality of a country’s government and its leaders matter in attracting investments to a country. However, there is no formula that can guarantee that Singapore’s system will continue to work well for the long-term.
He called on Singaporeans to give the 4G ministers, led by Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, their fullest support. "We handled these issues firmly and fairly, in a way that maintained mutual trust and understanding between different communities, and kept ourselves together," he said. Mr Rajaratnam had said that Singaporeans needed"a sustained effort, a willingness to mobilise savings, a readiness to take risks, a propensity for innovation, a passionate vision of the future, a willingness to make the painful adjustments required by modernisation and, most important of all, a readiness on the part of the people as a whole to postpone immediate rewards for greater gains in the future".
