During an interview with the Financial Times, PM Lee Hsien Loong was asked several questions about Singapore's political future.

One of the topics that was touched on was what will happen in Singapore's future and whether PM Lee could envision a non-PAP dominant Singapore.

In Response, PM Lee had said that he is not sure how it would work.

When the article in the Financial Times was published, it had wrote the report in a way that hinted that PM Lee was referring to a Coalition government.

PM Lee clarified on his facebook page that this is not exactly what he was referring to and highlighted that he did not really know what the future held:

  •  
    Lee Hsien Loong Some journalists have asked me whether I was really thinking of a coalition govt in Singapore. My Press Sec has told them that what I meant was that I could imagine a situation one day where the PAP is not dominant, but that I had no idea how that would work, or whether it could be made to work at all. To think that instead of PAP dominance we will have a stable two party system is naïve. Just look at the UK today – even there the two party system is no longer what it was. A coalition govt for Singapore was not on my mind. - LHL
