15 May 24 marks another milestone in Singapore's history with a new Prime Minister in 51 year old Lawrence Wong from the Marsiling Yew Tew GRC in a rural northwestern corner of Singapore island. Lawrence Wong is the 4th Prime Minister of Singapore, after Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong.

Lawrence Wong is coming out as a refreshing change after the years of two Lees and one Goh with many having memories of more of the Lee and Lee Dynasty. Lee Hsien Loong is still around as a Senior Minister in the Cabinet just like his father Lee Kuan Yew before. Other than promoting Gan Kim Yong as a Deputy PM, and a few to senior ministers of state, parliamentary secretaries, the rest of the cabinet members remain the same, at least for the time being.

Lawrence Wong has spoken about reviewing some of the sacred cows and hope to make Singapore a better place for Singaporeans under his premiership.
