Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said succession planning is important in ensuring a system where leaders are well prepared, and a seamless transition in Government.
"I still can run if I am in good health. But every year, you're a bit less energetic, every year a bit less in touch with new generation, and every year people will ask a bit more insistently, 'What happens after this?' And we do not want to be in that position for Singapore," said Mr Lee in response to a question from DBS Group CEO Piyush Gupta, who asked "why the hurry to retire?" during a dialogue with business leaders at The Singapore Summit 2015.
"And that means we have to plan for succession very consciously, deliberately and push it aggressively," he added.
