Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has announced a cabinet reshuffle, promoting K. Shanmugam to senior minister. Shanmugam's new role is notable as he is the first to hold this title while concurrently managing a ministry and without prior service as deputy prime minister or prime minister. The changes also include the return of labour chief Ng Chee Meng to the cabinet as a minister in the Prime Minister's Office, and the appointment of Jeffrey Siow and David Neo as full ministers. Additionally, the Ministry of Trade and Industry will be renamed the Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry. AI
