He claimed foreseeing” no difficulties whatsoever” with this structure and that the global networks Mr. Lee had developed would be very helpful.
” I will make the best use of him ( Mr. Lee ) because, in order for me to lead, I must find ways to harness the collective energies of all of my team and also every Singaporean to give us the best chances for this little island to continue shining evermore brightly in a dark and troubled world,” said Mr. Wong.
US- Chinese Relationships
Unsurprisingly, Mr. Wong brought up the topic of US-China relations as the opening question for the lengthy exam.
Mr. Wong said that despite there being some symptoms of stabilization, he still maintains a cautious opinion.
According to Mr. Wong,” I do n’t see the two national positions being resolved anytime soon because of the persistent contradictions and tensions between them.” ” It is not a stable equilibrium”.
He expressed concern about the security harm caused by the superpower rivalry’s fracturing of the world’s economic and technological systems.
Using economic and financial tools for political purposes may include “profound implications for the world economy but worse still, for global stability,” said Mr. Wong, although the credit damage was more obscure than the harms caused in a martial sense.
SINGAPOREAN- Tourist Break
On the home front, one of Mr Wong’s biggest problems is Singapore’s ageing people. He was asked about the thorny problem of movement, as the number of working age Singaporeans falls, as it is expected, in the coming generation.
According to Mr. Wong, Singapore welcomes foreign professionals to work there because of its empty business and open community.  , But it will be properly managed. ” Because if it is not controlled, I think we will be readily swamped”, he noted.
When asked if there would ever be a time when people had become part of society, Mr. Wong’s response was unwavering.
” No, not at all”, he said,” We will keep ourselves open, but the flows will be controlled. We will make sure unusual professionals enter our country, encouraged them, and help our economy by requiring them to conform to our social norms.
LEGACY
Mr. Wong was questioned about what he hoped had become his reputation if he were to remain as Prime Minister for the following ten years, despite the fact that he has not yet taken the lead.
The new president remarked that since gaining its independence, Singapore has undergone amazing transformations.
” We are also a pretty little tiny island in a large and dangerous earth, which will become even more dangerous in the coming times,” he said.
What has happened over the past 60 times has been nothing short of miraculous. And my goal is to continue this mystery as long as I can,” said Mr. Wong.
” And to ensure that our tiny dark dot beams brightly for as long as possible.”
