Political analysts say the next Cabinet reshuffle is unlikely to be as extensive as the changes made earlier this year though it is likely to be more “substantive and strategic”

He did not give a timeline nor did he say anything on the likely senior Cabinet position he might adorn with the reply: “It is likely to happen soon but I will leave the Prime Minister to announce the details.”

PM Lee, who some say holds the ace when it comes to political cards in calling the shots, said: “It depends on the party staying together and the party winning elections. And the first thing to do will be to win the next election.” Lawyer Lukshumayeh Mahadevan believes an early announcement may be a “tricky situation as the 4-G leaders may still not have got the endorsement and mandate from the voting population of Singapore”. He explains: “For example, it may also be too early to replace the incumbent Deputy Prime Ministers. Perhaps what we may see is current Ministers being re-shuffled between ministries for greater exposure and more MOS and Deputy Ministers being appointed.

But the microscope in the new shift-lineup will be who fills four key portfolios that now hog the media spotlight in education, defense, foreign affairs and transport.
