And at the end of the day, the Forward SG report is a ‘baby’ of DPM Lawrence Wong.
Dr Felix Tan said Wong may take some time to decide who should take on his current title and as such may double-hat while he deliberates. As to what form a reshuffle will take, most of the analysts said that any changes will be introduced incrementally. Instead, he believes a major reshuffle is due, given the last major one was in April 2021, which took place shortly after DPM Heng Swee Keat took himself out of the running as Singapore’s next Prime Minister.
