Budget 2022 debate: Christopher de Souza on swiftly choosing next PM and DPMs for 'longest runway possible'
Show the world that in the throes of a pandemic, Singapore can pick a future leader and a core team to take the country through its next chapter and beyond. Making this call in Parliament on Monday (Feb 28), MP Christopher de Souza said Singapore "must get it right" and make the world aware of its leadership succession plan. He said that while Singapore has a "solid" leadership now, the ruling People's Action Party must swiftly choose the next prime minister and deputy prime ministers and give them the "longest runway possible" before taking over the controls in the cockpit. "Apply your minds to succession planning and articulate swiftly your thinking and choice as regards leadership to Singaporeans. They deserve nothing less," he said.
