SINGAPORE – Singapore is facing a very big storm that will require the strongest leadership team with the strongest mandate to see it through the crisis, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday (March 27).
This team will also need “the longest runway so that Singapore can have the best leadership” to overcome the coronavirus pandemic, Mr Lee told reporters at the Istana.
“That’s a very desirable – in fact, essential – requirement for us to see through this together,” he said.
Asked about how he will decide on when to call a general election, Mr Lee said the ideal situation is that things will settle within the next six months, and then an election can be held.
“But nobody can say – it may well get worse, and I expect it can easily get worse before it gets better,” said Mr Lee.
