Singapore Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat speaks at a UBS client conference in Singapore, Jan 14, 2019. — Reuters: Singapore’s leader Tuesday promoted his heir apparent to deputy prime minister as the city-state’s founding family prepares for a sensitive transfer of power to a younger generation.
In November, Heng was named to a key post in the People’s Action Party — which has held power in Singapore for decades — putting him on course to become the next prime minister in the coming years. Premier Lee, who will lead his party into the forthcoming elections before handing over power, said that the cabinet changes are “part of the ongoing leadership renewal”.
