In a significant move, Singapore's secretary-general of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP), Lee Hsien Loong, announced his support for Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to take over as the next secretary-general of the party. 🌟
Speaking at the PAP Conference on Sunday, Lee shared that he would propose Lawrence Wong's election to lead the newly formed central executive committee. This marks a major step in PAP's ongoing efforts to stay fresh and responsive to Singapore's evolving society. 🚀
Lee, who also serves as Singapore's senior minister, mentioned that he would remain active in the central executive committee, taking on a supporting and advisory role. 🤝
Lawrence Wong, who stepped up as deputy secretary-general in 2022, emphasized that PAP is committed to upholding core values like honesty, integrity, and incorruptibility. He called on party members to strive hard for every vote as they prepare to compete in the next general election, aiming to secure a strong mandate to continue governing the nation. 🗳️✨
Founded in 1954, PAP has been the cornerstone of Singapore's leadership since its independence in 1965, guiding the nation through decades of growth and development. 🇸🇬
