Netizens Congratulate Actor Lawrence Wong On Becoming the 'Next PM'

Sharing the same name with someone else can be quite troublesome, especially if you're both public figures. 

Shortly after Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong was named the leader of the 4G team, Reddit user Ewbugs started a thread titled "Our next prime minister" on 14 April, with a screenshot of the wrong Lawrence Wong's photos. 

Fellow Reddit users quickly chimed in on the joke with puns on their names

And some thirsty comments about the 33-year-old actor. One user even suggested that they take the joke further by congratulating him on his Instagram page.
