SINGAPORE -- Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday announced a cabinet reshuffle that will put hitherto Education Minister Lawrence Wong in charge of finance, taking over from Heng Swee Keat, who earlier this month announced a shock decision to step aside as leader-in-waiting.
Wong, 48, has also been assisting Heng as second minister for finance since 2016. "He has the experience, and is a natural fit for the job," Lee said.
