"Rumors that Ho Ching may run have been making the rounds for weeks, but there is no confirmation of this. An Asia Sentinel email query to the prime minister’s office remains unanswered."
The next Presidential Election also comes at a time of some political uncertainty. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the eldest son of Lee Kuan Yew, is set to hand over the political reins to his successor Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. While he will still have a large say in the way the nation is run in his new role as Senior Minister, all the cogs in the establishment’s machinery must run smoothly for the PAP to continue wielding the power it does today.
Asia Sentinel reported: “Rumors that Ho Ching may run have been making the rounds for weeks, but there is no confirmation of this. An Asia Sentinel email query to the prime minister’s office remains unanswered.” Another source who also declined to be named told the same publication, “As Singapore is doing so badly under Lee Hsien Loong and is adrift, many Singaporeans yearn for the good times under Lee Kuan Yew. Hsien Yang represents that, so he is very popular on the ground. That is what Lee Hsien Loong is fearful of.”
The feud centred around the fate of the family home on 38 Oxley Road, where Lee Kuan Yew lived for many years and where he passed away in 2015. The younger siblings alleged that PM Lee was seeking to preserve the house against their father’s wishes and use it to bolster his political credentials.
