Future PM of Singapore.........99.99%

[Force 136]

The kid Hongyi.....but be careful of the Dowerger......

No need for him to be a future PM.. the family has already accumulated enough wealth and power to last for another 3 generations.

Just like Chiang kai shek's great grandson who is a designer based in Taipei and US. His family already has enough for him and his family to live comfortably. No need to get involved in Taiwanese politics.

what happens to the mafia boss when he steps down.........................he gets gun down..............

unless the Lee Clan migrate to another country...................they have to stay in power..............maybe behind the scenes like when Woody Goh was PM..........

if the Lee Clan out of politics totally and stay in S'pore...............they'll be in deep trouble sooner or later............

Wealth yes, but power maybe not.
The newly "empowered" can still give problems to the wealthy who are not in power.

Hail Sultan 'Dear Leader' Lee Hsien Loong. Wan sui wan sui wan wan sui.

All depends on how the next Lee generation play their cards. If a family is wealthy in singapore, it is not hard for them to be powerful without being being in politic. Just look at the Kuoks, the Wees, the Tan Kah Kee (and Lee kong chian) clan etc..

Side track a bit... Some old timers can tell the stories about the prominent pre-war families - incidentally the Lees and the Kwas were among the top 5 families in Singapore. Many of them are still around but stay very low profile today. One sure way of identifying the "old money" families is whether they own property in areas like Orchard, Nassim, Oxley etc..

Another easier way to tell:

The men are 'philanthropists', and the women are 'socialites'.

Yes, but also depends on who comes into power and whether there is any bitterness.
The current lot of wealthy families have it good because it is beneficial to both the wealthy and the wealthy & powerful to co-exist.
They don't step on each others' toes or have any reason to.

Another thing they can do is to migrate and they will have many countries willing to take them in as friends and treat them well, because this is what the pap have been doing for years, making friends and establishing contacts overseas. Main reason is not this but because how first world country leaders view them is of utmost importance to them.

More than likely board members of hospitals, GLCs .. but these people seldom appear on the covers of Tatler

Bro, it's the Lee clan we are talking about. All of the old man's enemies have been wiped out (the May 13 generation, ex-leftists, TLH, Francis seow) and their offspring (like JBJ, Puthuchery, the Plen etc) have become part of the system. Sinkie peasants curse and swear at them but no one really wants to touch them.

They definitely have more rich and powerful friends than rich and powerful enemies.

That's true, and rich and powerful friends not only in SG but overseas too.
Although most could be papa's friends and admirers rather than pinky's.
