SINGAPORE - A month after being sworn in to the top post, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says he plans to visit different constituencies across the island over the coming months to meet as many Singaporeans as he can.PM Wong said his decision is not tied to a political calendar, when asked if he intends to complete his rounds before the next general election. This is due to be held by November 2025.
He added: “If you have ground-up initiatives and projects to advance, I too would like to hear from you. And we want to support you, cooperate, collaborate and work together. These proclamations came at an event to cap a six-month exercise to refresh and strengthen the PAP, which was led by Minister for National Development Desmond Lee – who is also the PAP’s assistant secretary-general – and other fourth-generation PAP leaders.
He also had a dialogue session at the Tampines East Community Club with grassroots leaders, community volunteers and different organisations in the area.Also present at the dialogue were interest groups looking at environmental issues, which were discussed too. June 15 marked exactly one month since he took office, and PM Wong said the reception he has received so far has been warm.
