"He will be his own person, with his own approach to building consensus and finding the best way forward for the country. And he will no doubt do so to his own rhythm and beat," says President Tharman.
Former Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong has been sworn in as Singapore’s fourth Prime Minister (PM). The inauguration ceremony was held at the Istana on May 15.
At the ceremony, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam said he has “full confidence” in Wong’s ability to lead Singapore, as the nation ventures into unchartered waters internationally, and to rally Singaporeans from all walks of life.
