即将在2024年5月15日接棒的候任总理黄循财，接受本地媒体联访时，叙述了第四代团队达成共识选出接班人的过程。
第四代领导团队原已在2018年，选定时任财政部长王瑞杰为同侪之首，但他在2021年请辞，以让位给跑道更长的较年轻人选。李显龙总理过后委托退休部长许文远，协调促成团队选出新接班人。
总理在2022年4月16日召开记者会宣布黄循财是接班人，并透露第四代团队达成共识选出的过程。谈到这个过程，黄循财受访时透露，第四代领导团队中较年轻的部长于是自问，该怎么进行，要如何选出新领军人。而他们很早就达成共识，不会排除任何人，希望有个更开放和彻底的过程。到时无论选了谁，其他人都会全力支持。
许文远个别询问了17位内阁部长、前国会议长陈川仁，以及全国职工总会秘书长黄志明共19人的意见，最终有15人推选了黄循财。
黄循财上任前接受本地媒体联访，他回答《联合早报》提问时说，得知自己获推举为同侪之首时，他很惊讶。“当我回家告诉妻子时，她也感到惊讶，但我们其实已经有了心理准备，因为她知道我也是这个推选过程的一员。当初参与时，我们就决定会接受任何结果。”
从幕后工作的公务员，走向台前成为政治人物，如今肩负国家领导人重任，近30年的公职生涯将进入下一个里程碑。黄循财说，他一点也不后悔选了这条路，这是一趟很有意义且充实的旅程。
Singapore Prime Minister-designate Lawrence Wong will be sworn in on the 15th May 2024. In a recent media interview, he revealed how the 4G leadership reached a consensus with him taking the helm.
Lawrence Wong described how he felt surprised when the results were disclosed, “when I went back home to tell my wife, she was surprised too. But we have been prepared for it, because she knew I was part of the process. And we knew that going into this, we will accept the outcome of the process. And if this is the result, then I will step up, and I will take on the responsibility. ”
Lawrence Wong was a career civil servant before entering politics. His 30 years of public service will enter a whole new phase after taking over the baton from PM Lee Hsien Loong. To him, this has been a meaningful and fruitful journey, one which he does not regret one bit.
