If there were proper term limits like in civilized democratic countries, we wouldn't be bellyaching about 'succession problems'. Serve your two terms max and fuck off.
Only totalitarian shitholes like North Korea and China grapple with 'succession problems'.
This is not being the Catholic Pope: stay in your appointment until the day you die. And it should not be like ancient Chinese fiefdoms where the 'retired' ruler continues to siphon on taxpayer money as a 太上皇 (senior minister, minister mentor etc). How many years had 'Emeritus' Goh Chok Tong been stealing a living in Marine Parade?
