Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Sunday he planed to bow out and hand over power to his deputy, Lawrence Wong, late next year, before the 2025 general election.
周日，新加坡总理李显龙宣布，他计划在明年年底，也就是2025年大选之前，将权力移交给副总理黄循财。
Lee, 71, initially intended to retire before turning 70, but it was shelved because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I've been PM for almost 20 years. Singapore and PAP have been thoroughly transformed, shaped by our many trials and tribulations.
