The era of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong came to an end when Lawrence Wong was inaugurated as the Prime Minister of Singapore on Wednesday . This transfer of power marks an important milestone in Singapore's history. During Lee's almost 20 years of rule, Singaporean residents experienced an increase in per capita income of more than three-fold. In August 2004, when Lee took office, Singaporeans' per capita income was 27,610 US dollars . In May 2024, when Lee left his position as prime minister, Singaporean residents had an annual income of 88,450 USD .Officially Leading Singapore, Lawrence Wong Invites Millennials to Get Involved The figure is higher than the average annual income of around 76,000 US dollars for residents in the United States. Singapore's per capita income is also higher than that of Japanese citizens and the Hong Kong region. It will not be easy for Wong to at least match the increase in per capita income amidst productivity levels that may not be as good as before. The reasons are, first, Singapore's population is aging. As an illustration, people aged over 65 years in Singapore will increase to a quarter of the total population by 2030. Meanwhile, the birth rate —the average number of children born per woman—is in Last year, Singapore fell to its lowest figure in history, namely 0.97. With a fertility rate far below 2.1 or the birth rate limit that allows the population to neither increase nor decrease, Singapore relies on migrant workers to maintain its productivity. Lawrence Wong was inaugurated as the Prime Minister of Singapore, accompanied by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon , at the Istana in Singapore on May 15, 2024.Secondly, the global situation is filled with complex uncertainties. The competition between the US and China is changing the constellation of the global production chain. The increasingly hot conditions in the Middle East are affecting shipping routes and adding to the economic burden. Not to mention the unclear end to the war in Ukraine. These uncertain conditions have a significant impact on global economic activity, which Singapore has relied on for generating national income. Another challenge related to the domestic political situation. There are indications that dissatisfaction is growing among young people towards Singapore's political management. The large restrictions are considered to have hindered the next generation in expressing their personal views. Support for the opposition is also increasing among the youth. Nothing is certain but change. Wong leads Singapore during a time of change in a world that is not only changing, but also turbulent. We all have high hopes that Wong's leadership will be able to respond to all these challenges.
