- Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday (Nov 5) called on all People’s Action Party members to give Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and his team their “full support”.
He had earlier announced that he will hand over leadership to Mr Wong before the next General Election, which has to be called by November 2025.
“Help them win a strong mandate and work with them to take Singapore to greater heights,” he said during his speech at the party’s awards and convention.

I only knew the PAP government all my life in this country. Singapore has been well governed by them. Many before us and of us have gained much successes and prosperity from the peacefulness of this land under their guards. Thank you. Moving forwards for more good years under the new team. This is a peaceful safe country, well suited for utilitarianism and success. Majulah Singapura. 💪💪💪大家一起加油加油!
Another brainless praising without naming his achievement. 🤣😂🤣😂
Majulah Singapore

@@deschan2246 u r likely of different generation. Being trapped by unsuccessful endeavour with many failures. I can understand your situation, when one is unable to manage and make the best of it from a stable safe place. U should consider leaving for another place, maybe your future endeavours could be better off. Probably this environment is not suitable for your aspirations. Don't waste time on redeemable mistakes, go for it. The world is bigger. Life is only once in a lifetime, and a very short one. Pack and go. Never try never know.
@@Hs5687 u must be having much unsuccessful endeavours in this place to play policing on such mindset. Probably u have it all well planned to leave this place for good and make greater achievements somewhere else. Life is beautiful only if u can appreciate it. Since u can't, better go and find it somewhere else before your life ends. This is the reality of living happily, it owes it to yourself no others. All the best.
Different than his father, LKY use iron hand, LHL use soft approach. You make your father proud.
Thanks for your servise for Singapore. Singaporean are very smart, I believe Singaporean will vote wisely. Dont have to worry about how the people vote.
Deeply thank you to Mr LKY, the PAP and also our existing PM Mr LHL. Thank you for your dedication of your life to SG. We are living life fortunately now all thanks to the Govt hard work.
No other gov't or political party in the world has done so much & so well for its own people for decades, except the PAP.
For some Singapore locals that complain about minor issues, remember, complaining is for the weak, try to move to UK/EU/US & see how it goes for your life...
Gov't is not suppose to provide a better life, maintaining the basics ok is good enough. Each individual has to apply his own IQ EQ & Skills + hard work to get & keep a better life for himself.
Life is not suppose to be easy.
Singapore is very fortunate to have Mr. LKY, then his super genius son, Mr. Lee, to lead the city state.
Highly recommend Mr. LKY's 4 autobiography books, it helped me to see the world more clear & became a stronger person, living a better life
Name one thing he did well.
@@deschan2246 he is PM...u r ?...
@@deschan2246
he continued Mr. LKY's legacy of keeping Singapore the most clean, efficient, secure, non racial discriminated, well balanced society between multi ethics & locals vs foreign elites.
starting a business is hard, but maintaining the business in good shape is even harder, have you ever heard of this theory?
Now please name one thing you think he did NOT do well...
& plz share with us how it affected you personally to prove that why you hold such opposing feeling?
Based on solid logical reasons, no bs emotional irrational stuff, thank you.
my guess is that you didn't read Mr. LKY's 4 autobiography books & didn't know Singapore history & political & social structure game rules that well. also, you're probably among the poor common minded locals. You're Mr. LKY would call a "dud" mentioned in his books. You have to keep up with the elitism focus of Singapore society, otherwise, you'd feel more pressure by more global elites coming to the city state, & very soon replaced by AI in a decade or so.
Best of luck!
Although Singapore is only a red dot on the earth ,it is a flaming dot that for many countries to emulate, PAP has done well if not the red dot will not shine and stand out in the world scenario. PM Lee has done well in captaining the ship, your service is still needed to complement the new team. Salute you.
I always hear good news and stories from Singapore. Hope they can continue to achieve more for your people.
really thanks to the premier
Hope Singapore can be prosperous through my lifetime
Great speech as always PM Lee. Thank you.
PM Lee, u hv worked long n hard for us, n done us proud in flying the SG flag in the world. GREAT job! Greater is your commitment to pass the baton n facilitate success of the 4G leadership.

In other words, PAP leaders are trying to sell to Singaporeans that as if PAP are bigger than Singaporeans and without PAP then SIngapore is finished. but most of us know this is NOT true. without the people, PAP is nothing. We have to show and prove that PAP cannot be arrogant and take Singaporeans for a ride. We all have to give PAP check and balances by voting opposition.

A speech which truly reflects the core values of the party and an account of the struggle of the party for the raayat...
Malaysians have yet to have such a party that is so dedicated to the needs of the raayat....not just in words but by its deeds .
When that day comes ..the Malaysian can really extend their hands with pride to shake their neighbours hands in Singapore to say that we all shall progress and work for the future together
Singapore is so near . Yet .the hopes and aspirations raised by the leaders there ...seem to be so far and away for those in Malaysia to achieve ...the only real achievement is to have thousands going to Singapore to work to earn the Singapore dollars .
Malaysia boleh ...the leaders of Singapore were once from here in Malaysia and so Malaysians will have the will and determination to be as good or even better than Singapore in days to come .we shall progress with Singapore to build up a truly multiracial and multireligious society where equality and justice are values to cherish
Malaysia does but DAP is no powderful enough after decades of demonisation by Anemo
You got problem with Malaysia?
@AvadaKedavraSpell666 when singapore was expelled from malaysia, devan nair, formersingapore president stayed behind. As bangsar member of Parliament in malaysia. Together with Malaysian pap old guards. Chen man hin and lim kit siang set up dap. Initially left behind Malaysian comrades want use pap but was rejected by registrar of society of malaysia. Hence dap was born. Democratic action party. The rest is history. Malaysia pap was in fact s rajaratnam and toh chin chye baby. Devan nair. On another note, not sure socialist front in malaysia has same connection with barisan sosialis spore. Spore and malaysia history are always interwined together.

Singapore is setting an extremely high bar for the rest of the world to follow. Singapore can be very proud to be the ONLY country on the planet to be able to transfer power in government so successfully, smoothly, peacefully and with such dignity!!!
Quite a contrast to what the world is seeing in the so called “ mother of Democracy “ in the terrorist rogue state Banana Republic of America (BRA) where corruption is the order of the day and is accepted as part of life. The personal integrity of Singapore candidates are impeccable again quite unlike some of those in the BRA like RFK Jr who actually takes pride in proclaiming that there’s such a thing as a public and a private integrity! He obviously does not understand that integrity is either you have it or you don’t. But then, the BRA have had a track record of having all sorts of Con artistes and showmen occupy the White House and other positions of power , don’t worry about whether they can do the job or not. The difference between Singapore and the US is that the people wanting to get into government in the US are motivated by the prospects of personal enrichment whereas the Singapore motivation is to ensure the continued success of the nation and the improvement of the people’s welfare and quality of life. Let’s hope this track record continues.
The rest of the world can certainly learn something from Singapore.
Go Singapore Go🎉❤🎉
True or not? The US is ruled/owned by the top 5% capitalists, while Singapore is ruled/owned by the top 20% capitalists. Look at the US, isn't Singapore heading toward the same direction where the gap between the haves and the have nots keeps widening? The average annual income of our ministers is around a $1,500,000 + "perks", while the average income of Singaporeans is less than $50,000, and the average lowest income group is only $10,000; the disgusting difference of more than 3,000% and 15,000%. So much about serving their country/cartel/pockets LOL! And how much less disgusting will members of the opposition parties offer (from their "humble" beginning)? Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Just follow the (crypto)money (trail of them/families/relatives/friends)...
Let's hope Singapore doesn't end up like the self-racist Philippines with western colonial mentality/religion...
CIA is watching and waiting 😂😂
@@Joo-vw9kb You're not entirely wrong in your assessment
but I look at the points you raised from a slightly different perspective. The Capitalists who own/ rule the US government actually dictate policy as they (the Capitalists) install these politicians and other people in powerful positions through their legalised process of corruption called "lobying". I'm not sure and am quite confident to say that the 20% Capitalists in Singapore actually have that power or influence unless you have evidence to the contrary to support your allegation of how policies have been changed or influenced to benefit them.
On the issue of the widening gap between the haves and the have nots, its a tricky issue that faces EVERY country in the world, whether its " Democratic" or "Communist" or "Socialist" or whatever. It's simply because all men are NOT created equal as we would like and want to believe. The "smarter" and more " capable" people will always tend to earn more than those less capable. Just look at your own life and look at every member of your own family and be honest with yourself!
With regard to the huge disparity between the ministers' annual remuneration and the average incomes of the "ordinary" Singaporean, I can understand your disgust and concern. However, in my opinion, there's a logic to that perceived "madness." These ministers with 7 digit salary packages are holding great responsibilities and are accountable for some very big decisions that have tremendous impact and ramifications on the population and the nation. I won't begrudge them their salary packages and neither would I envy what they have to do to earn and enjoy those "perks" and incomes that they earn ..............provided they are accountable for their respective portfolios and deliver the results agreed upon and expected of them! They should be fired if they can't deliver and/or are found to be incompetent , just like if they had been a Senior Manager or CEO of a company. A results/performance based remuneration system is what lubricates a meritocracy besides an altruistic desire to "serve" the country. Much better than having to resort to other corrupt and illegal means to " reward" your efforts!
Would you want to volunteer to " serve the nation" if you're not amply rewarded for it? Its a pretty thankless job if you ask me!
Can and should the gap between the minister's salary packages and the ordinary Singaporean be narrowed? I don't think so and I don't know if there's a better way of "narrowing" that gap. If you have an answer to that, you could propose that to your government. I'm not a Singaporean FYI. I'm just an interested observer.
I don't understand what you were trying to say about the opposition parties so I cannot comment on it.
Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Good question.
This is where personal integrity comes in. It is said that everybody's got a price. If the price is right , we could be tempted to succumb to it. The bottom line is, we each have to face the mirror everyday to check if we know who we truly are.
So, I'd suggest that each of us do that on a regular basis so that should and when we have the opportunity to wield power, whether absolute or otherwise, how do we respond!
Yes. I certainly wish and hope that Singapore will continue to uphold itself as the " shining city on the hill" quite unlike that fake one across the oceans that claim to be that..........
I always had seen the great Mahatma Lee Kuan Yew in him. It saddens me a lot. But, also made me proud to see how Singapore is politically civilised and execute its well planned power transition. God bless him. Long live Singapore . 🙏🙏

@Joo-vw9kb sounds like a sour grape thats unhappy about their own pay. If you were really worth something, youd be paid high too. But the fact that you cant seem to find the right time/place to even discuss the topic says a lot😅
Youre the kind that complains about the success of others without being able to hold a candle to them. You only think surface level that capitalists and ministers have a lot of money but never consider their abilities to come up with ideas/products and their wisdom/foresight that the average person just isnt capable of.
@@laylaminrir
Well said. One has to know that how he is better off than others.
Singapore Ministers earn only according to the prevalent market level salaries of private companies' executives. Many ministers came to government jobs at less than half of what they earned in Private firms before.
Another thing we must understand Singapore ministers salary is clean wages. They pay income tax what Perks?. Negligible if you compare.
Further they perform and do not steal by billions as with in other countries.
We need to respect for their integrity, honesty and incomparable performance standards. Thanks 🙏
@@samvelu8253 Many ministers came to government jobs without spending a single day in Private firms. LW is one of them. HSK is another. your we-need-to-respect-their-integrity speech is so passe. the corruption case of iswaran is still pending. time for PAP trolls to come up with a new sales pitch.

Thanks you both Mr Lee and your team。
Good speech at a time when there is chaos and uncertainty. Focus on high performance, competency, system and outstanding leadership with a good team. Liked the talk very much.
Thank you for your service, Sir!

Thats reality, fact n his failure as PM.
Hi bro, that's so true. All the pap and lee care about are money, big houses and cars.

I am an PAP activist n firmly agree with PM Lee that house visit n consent house visit is very importance n not doing such visit only at times of election.Majula Singapore .This phrase I learned from my MP.
Keep importing new citizens to vote for PAP is how he continue to win election !!! True Singaporeans voting right and benefits r diluted. Is that democratic?
A very good speech by our PM.
All Singaporeans should know how Singapore has achieved so much dating from the days of our founding fathers.
PAP needs more check and balances / competition as "Absolute Power" and Supermajority will only lead to more complacency and the people losing out. Currently only less than 10% parliament are opposition MPs, so need to vote more opposition in .
This is Dictatorship not leadership

Wahlao settle the tengah CCS issue leh sir omg
We need oppositions like Mr Chiam, not what we have now imo.
I think for the sake of singapore where almost all voters prefer PAP, eg. 86% voted against opposition candidate in the recent PE, i think we should create a Opposition under a Ministry ,maybe call it ministry of Perception Matters. Institutionalise a Opposition thats controlled by gov. I not saying China model but you get my point. Maybe we should Recruit PS to be the first to join. LO position is created by who? Regardless, thats still a risk to govt. So, we should take the bitter pill and abolish elections replaced by Appointed leaders for political office and call this new model of democracy the BaoJiak Durian Democracy and export to China so XJP can alsp last forever under such a democracy . Have strict laws. Control the people until they dare not suka suka any howly talk😅
We must not let political office happen by chance. Leave nothing to chance. Have opposition that only oppose in a tiny way, like acting as a vent for public frustrations. Like when hornt you masturbate and then you wont do silly things.😅 And such a opposition must always be perceived as lower class like a leader who when speak english sound like cartoon, best if broken singrish so that people look down on him like a clown
An intelligent statement with good comments.👌👌👌💪💪💪👍👍👍
Face the fact, look at the history, PAP is doing extremely well. It is very discouraging that it cannot get more than 75% votes nowadays. It will affect the performance and recruitment of good ministers.
Bearbrick not brickbear sir.
Can change date from Nov 2024 to Nov 2023?

I just feel that PM Lee is appealing to Singaporean Voters for a blank cheque. PAP is good, i dont deny. But no one should be given a blank cheque on how to run the country.
So what do you want?
Do you know what a freak election result is?
You want the best of both worlds. You want this government but you might want to vote for opposition to check this government, and perhaps you expect others to vote this government.
If there are many like you, a freak election result will happen. You get a government that you don't wish for. Be careful

It is good to have some opposition members in the parliament but I only want PAP to form the government of Singapore. I do not trust WP and all the other opp parties. If one day, PAP becomes corrupt and incapable, I hope there will be a capable and honest opp party to form the govt.
If you don't give opposition a chance to enter parliament, how would you know the opposition is capable to form the next govt or the PAP looks very bad when more opposition can enter parliament & oppo bring better policies than them. right now 90% is PAP and only 10% is oppo, it is Singapore's loss if we dont give oppo a chance to stop PAP bullying its policies to the everyday people.

Ha ha ha!
During the General Election of 2011, Singaporeans were more impressed with the WP’s manifesto which were detailed positions on policy than the one by Mr Lee’s People’s Action Party (PAP), of which Mr Lee is secretary general. The PAP’s manifesto was accused of being more of a glossy document of smiling faces and motherhood statements.
PM Lee’s conflation of marital infidelity to corruption is a clever sleight of hand. He equated all of the PAP’s scandals - the Ridout Road conflict of interest, Iswaran’s alleged graft and Tan’s marital infidelity - with the Workers’ Party’s one scandal - an episode of marital infidelity that ended years ago. If Lee was already aware of Tan’s affair in 2020, why did he wait until February 2023 to have a ‘hard conversation’ with him?
the Ridout Road conflict of interest: all oppo MPs agree there is no conflict of interest. are you disagreeing with your master?
Iswaran’s alleged graft: in Sylvia Lim's logic, isnt it premature to judge?
Tan’s marital infidelity: so there is one confirmed scandal with, well, 2 confirmed scandal in WP as both of them are married
so you are the one who is conflating issues into a lie

Are the people better off or worse off over the years? I know for sure that if anyone makes the money the minister makes, they can never say they understand the plight of the people.
