Singapore’s New PM Is Already Worried

A long-ruling party sees vulnerability as key to its own security and power.

This may be an issue for Wong. A recent YouGov poll showed that while 53 percent of all voters saw him as competent, only 28 percent saw him as honest and 21 percent as charismatic. There may be room to improve, with a recent media push to present Wong as down to earth and likeable, often focusing on his guitar playing. And interestingly, Gen Z voters tended to rate him a bit more highly than older voters in a variety of areas including charisma—but lower on likeability.
