Reshuffled the Cabinet today. Promoted Grace Fu to full minister, and five Ministers of State to Senior Ministers of State (Chuan-Jin, Chun Sing, Lawrence, Masagos, and Yi Shyan). Also appointed two MPs to office (Indranee Rajah as Senior Minister of State, Muhammad Faishal bin Ibrahim as Parliamentary Secretary).
Come November, we will restructure MCYS and MICA into three new ministries – the Ministry of Social and Family Development; the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth; and the Ministry of Communications and Information. We want to focus sharply on three priority areas: (1) Strengthening families and social safety nets; (2) Promoting arts and sports, building social capital and engaging the young; and (3) Improving public communications and engagement.
These changes will help us to serve Singaporeans better. I hope that all Singaporeans will give my team your full support, and work with us to build a better Singapore for all. – LHL
