He has served as party secretary-general and prime minister since 2004 and last year chose Wong, who is also finance minister, as his successor. Therefore, I intend to hand over to DPM Lawrence before the next general election," Lee said at an annual party conference.

REUTERS/Andrew KellyLONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell by more than $1 per barrel on Tuesday as bearish economic data from key global economies heightened demand fears. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterSupply and demand fundamentals remain largely stable, leaving economic sentiment centre-stage for the oil market, said Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis provider Vanda Insights. Signs of uncertain economic activity in the United States and China, the world's two biggest oil consumers, continued to weigh on prices on Tuesday. Government data on Monday showed China's crude oil imports in September were 2% lower than a year earlier, continuing a trend of lower imports at the same time it reported slowing retail sales. U.S. crude oil inventories are also expected to rise this week, which may limit price gains.
International benchmark Brent crude futures gained 3 cents to $93.29 per barrel by 0652 GMT, after falling 0.3% in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for December delivery rose 11 cents to $84.69 per barrel, after a previous decline of 0.6%. Supply and demand fundamentals remain largely stable, leaving economic sentiment at the centre-stage for the oil market, Hari added. U.S. crude oil inventories are also expected to rise this week, which may limit price gains. Analysts polled by Reuters estimated on average that crude inventories rose by 200,000 barrels in the week to Oct. 21.

REUTERS/Isabel KuaSINGAPORE, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Singapore plans to reduce its peak carbon emissions target for 2030 to 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide as the city state strives to achieve net zero by 2050, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on Tuesday. The country had previously aimed for a reduction to 65 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2030. "This 5 million tonne improvement is significant as it is equivalent to reducing our current transport emissions by two thirds," Wong said at the Singapore International Energy Week conference.

REUTERS/Isabel KuaSINGAPORE, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Tightening markets for liquefied natural gas (LNG) worldwide and major oil producers cutting supply have put the world in the middle of "the first truly global energy crisis", the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Tuesday. But Birol also said the current energy crisis could be a turning point in the history of energy for accelerating clean energy sources and for forming a sustainable and secured energy system. "Energy security is the number one driver (of the energy transition)," said Birol, as countries see energy technologies and renewables as a solution.

Singapore CNN Business —Tightening markets for liquefied natural gas (LNG) worldwide and major oil producers cutting supply have put the world in the middle of “the first truly global energy crisis,” the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Tuesday. For oil, consumption is expected to grow by 1.7 million bpd in 2023 so the world will still need Russian oil to meet demand, Birol said. “I think this is good because the world still needs Russian oil to flow into the market for now. Energy security drives renewables growthThe energy crisis could be a turning point for accelerating clean sources and for forming a sustainable and secured energy system, Birol said. “Energy security is the number one driver (of the energy transition),” said Birol, as countries see energy technologies and renewables as a solution.
