富贵不过三代
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the son of Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew, said Thursday that he does not think that his children will enter politics.
"They will have to decide but if you ask me now I think the odds are not on it," he told the Davos meeting of business and political elite.
"It's a different generation, it's a new world, there are so many opportunities in Singapore," said Lee.
Lee, who has four children, took office as the island state's third prime minister in 2004.
His father led Singapore to political independence and economic prosperity during a 31-year run until 1990 as prime minister, and remained in cabinet under his son until last year.
With no younger Lee in sight so who will inherit the throne?
