I see many negative comments. This is his first day. Give him a break. So many complaints. I am not even Singaporean and I see so many ungrateful people. With your strong SGD, you should travel out and look at the world and see how it is like and tell us honestly if you think PAP is that bad. I think around the world, people praise how Singapore is run. How efficient the government is. All the Singapore PMs were well educated, speaks well and respected. Look at some other countries. They have maniacs, racists, extremist, uneducated and corrupted felons as country leaders. Singaporeans should be more grateful. I have been to many countries. Singapore is one of my least desired country for holiday. Expensive, boring and small. But it is very well run, everything works, safe and efficient. Honestly i think the gov did a fantastic job. Singapore has almost no natural resources. It is so successful because of their leaders who had great vision for the nation. So before you say PAP or Lawrence is bad, take a look at other countries.

Congratulations to SINGAPORE'S FOURTH PRIME MINISTER MR.WONG, but do not stress yourself too much, SINGAPORE needs a healthy PM not a PM who have to visit the hospital.

How inspiring the speech of the new Prime Minister is. He not only paid gratitude to his predecessors but also showed guidelines for moving forward with the involvement of all citizens. This is why Singapore is a role model for other nations.
