Another way to phrase this is:
When hsk decided not to pursue premiership,  why lw was chosen instead of ccs,  whom was a favourite, even himself also think so over-highly of himself

The likely answer i think is the seniors do not think so highly of ccs as we first thought

Regardless of what reason, lw is the best we got, another reason he was chosen, an important one, is his age,
He's younger in age compare to ccs and oyk
That gave him sufficient learning and waiting runway,  waiting to take off when weather is ready
Whe come to handover
He just become finance minister, my feel is,  he will need to learn the skills from hsk which took him entire long career in finance
, that definitely will be at least after next election to be sufficiently ready
,  besides Singapore presidential election this year,  next year is US election,  so likelihood of taking over as pm is less likely
as biden may or may not win,  which also means Singapore may need experienced hand to deal with new president, 
Of course there's a choice of here,  whether they want to do a brute handover,  put everyone in shocking state sink or swim,  that certainly make a stronger team

My guess is that only PM Lee thinks highly of MP Chan but the rest had to sing the same tune. MPLawrence is a mere decoy so that we shift our focus on the Strawman.

Choose a " Puppet PM " also must choose the one look at least presentable

at first is Heng but he don't want
than 2nd best choice is Lawrence

Chan and Ong their pattern already cannot make it as PM.

He is chosen by his team mates in 2022. 
Lee appointed him finance minister in 2021 
already hint he is Lee's choice. After Heng 
give up.

The rest has less important role.

The most important Question is-

Who will be tricked into voting for PAP?

By giving them 3rd chance?

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

He is chosen by his team mates in 2022. 
Lee appointed him finance minister in 2021 
already hint he is Lee's choice. After Heng 
give up.

Next few years PM Lee will become SM. till now no one in sight 
You can tell me who is next Lee then? Desmond Lee consider or not  

he unable to exercise as much clout as his father.
