Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong received a top post in the ruling party on Saturday, cementing his position to become the city-state's next prime minister.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, secretary-general of the People’s Action Party , which has ruled the island nation since independence in 1965, announced this year that Wong, 49, would be his successor.
Lee, 70, is the son of Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's independence leader and dominant figure for half a century. The younger Lee has said Wong would succeed him before or after the next general election, which is due in 2025.
