Singapore’s Wong Unveils New Cabinet, Keeps Finance Minister Job

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong unveiled his new cabinet Wednesday, opting to retain his role as finance minister following a convincing electoral victory earlier this month.

Among a number of senior officials switching jobs, Chan Chun Sing becomes the city-state’s new defense minister, relinquishing the role of education minister to another cabinet official, Desmond Lee. Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth in the last government, will serve as law minister.
