Singapore's next PM Wong is little known to Asean

[Voldermort]

Since the establishment of Asean on Aug 8, 1967, Singapore has been one of the anchors of the regional grouping along with other founding member countries Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia.


In particular, the triangle connection between the leaders of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore is often described as the reflection of Asean's face. They have demonstrated leadership in punishing Myanmar's junta leader General Min Aung Hlaing for arrogantly breaking his promise to Asean leaders.


Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has been in power since 2004, and therefore has deep knowledge and strong personal relationships with other Asean leaders at various levels.


Even before assuming the post, his predecessor Goh Chok Tong gave him extensive access to Asean as deputy prime minister.


PM Lee's father Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's founding father and first prime minister, also mentored him for years not just to lead the city-state, but also to become a leading player in the regional trading bloc.

Nobody cares since he is the seatwarmer. He wasn't even the first choice successor for the Pink Bullshitter.

I suppose Looong has no choice but to stay on in his cabinet for the sake of the nation.

 

[Cottonmouth]

Who's fault was it that they didn't designate and promote the next seat warmer?
