Good news; Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s
surgery for prostate cancer was successful and a full recovery is expected. Bad
news; he needed surgery in the first place.
PM Lee having been diagnosed with lymphoma, blood cell
tumours that develop from white blood cells, in 1992 but last I heard, he had made
a full recovery. Now instead of lymphoma, he has been diagnosed and treated for
another kind of cancer.
Now from what I read, survivors of prostrate cancer can with
proper medication and good diet live long healthy lives but with our PM having survived
2 different kinds of cancer, it is time for the PAP (People’s Action Party) to
seriously put a No. 2 in place to take over.
With a General Election on the way, this is the perfect
time. I know that currently, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean is
the No. 2 but there had always been doubts if he is the man that will take over
as Prime Minister after PM Lee steps down.

LHL also needs to rest and allow others to take over. Teo Chee Heng and Tharman inspire more confidence than Chun Sing.
I note your use of the word 'anoint'. Is this a democratic republic or a monarchy or dictatorship?
This is a democracy where voters vote in the parties that will run the country. We do not vote on who run the PAP, WP, SDP etc unless we are also members of the parties. So yes, the word is "anoint".
