Outgoing PM Lee to remain in Cabinet as senior minister, says Wong

"Bigger" changes in the Cabinet will happen after the general election.

Outgoing Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will continue to serve the Cabine as Senior Minister, his successor Lawrence Wong announced.

“I have asked Mr Lee Hsien Loong to continue serving in Cabinet as Senior Minister, and I am glad that he has agreed to do so. The other ministers will continue to serve in their respective portfolios,” Deputy Prime Minister Wong told the media.

Wong said other “bigger” changes in the Cabinet will only happen after the general election.

“I am already looking for new candidates, especially those with potential to hold political office. Depending on the outcome of the general election, there will be an opportunity then to renew and strengthen the team with new members,” Wong said, adding that one of his key priorities is to form the “best possible team” to serve Singapore and Singaporeans.

Meanwhile, Wong said he will continue to work on the agenda set out in Forward Singapore, including dealing with concerns around the economy, jobs and cost of living and providing more assurance to seniors, families and other vulnerable groups in society.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
