Finance Minister Lawrence Wong will be promoted to Deputy Prime Minister from 13 June, in a move that cements his standing as the successor to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
๐ฌWhat are your views on the Cabinet reshuffle? What are some key priorities you think the Government can focus on in this new era of leadership?
The announcement comes two months after Mr Wong, 49, was endorsed by his peers as the leader of the People's Action Party's (PAP) fourth-generation team.
Mr Wong will also continue as Minister for Finance, and assume responsibility for the Strategy Group within the Prime Minister's Office, taking over this role from Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.
Reiterating the commitment he made when he was chosen to lead the team, Mr Wong said: "As I've said before, I will do my best and give every ounce of my strength to serve Singapore and Singaporeans. In turn, I seek your support, as I take on my latest appointment as DPM, and take another step forward in embracing my new responsibilities."
Besides Mr Wong's promotion, eight office-holders will be promoted or given new portfolios and responsibilities. Details on the key changes can be found below:

Perhaps it will be the roadmaps for our 4G and into 5G.
It is a major game changer, perspectively Indo-Pacific and enlarged geography!
All these projects or developments will happen, the only thing is, it will be ahead of schedules!
That's 'FORWARD SINGAPORE' or old saying "MAJULAH SINGAPURA"!

[11:09 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Not so, we can push towards 10,000/km2
Not much choice, these resetting of economics, migrations technologies and so on...
[11:10 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: Depends on the quality of the people… number is the key actually
[11:10 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Value added initiatives, not merely for increasing. Relevancy is the key!
[11:10 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: Not” Key
[11:10 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Yes, we got it!

[11:12 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: Young and highly educated would be good. But really depend. We are aim at a higher skilled labour market.
Those not educated would fair poorly in such environment. Really not easy to plan.
[11:12 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Our fertility rate is 1.1 and falling... What if it became 0.9?
US is 1.8
Europe is 1.4
Mexico is 1.8
World is about 1.6
[11:12 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Correct!

[11:12 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: US 1.8 with those stupid American videos lol… you want so high or not
[11:13 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: That's no comment whether is an American Dream or A Nightmare, no comment
[11:15 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: US is a migrant dream and nightmare.
A balance of both. Hence there is growth. But country is big enough to have mistakes and adjustment.
[11:15 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: China is aging fast.
It needs 600 million young blooded and able people to replace this aging trajectory.
600 Million people today is perhaps the entire Asean population migrating into China after 2035. Possible?
[11:16 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: I have personally stay and seen how bad working condition in.. my aunt works in an sweat shop. No joke, how thrifty the life and the condition they stayed in.
[11:16 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: China is no 2 big population.
India will overtakes with projected 2.1 billions
[11:18 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: There might be a possibility… but likely mainly target at Chinese descendant, not as open as US. That how I feel.
HK,Shanghai and Beijing aside.
[11:19 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: But the work culture in china, is much tougher. Competition is also steep.
[11:21 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: How about Africa continent? They are growing very well, population wise!
Will we see able Africans migrating into China after 2035 or sooner?
[11:21 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: Just another nation for them to exploit…
[11:21 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Correct, big markets and dynamics metrics in play! Socio-economic-politicals
[11:22 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Correct... Headcount game
[11:22 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Wait
[11:22 am, 08/06/2022] +Ken Loh: Africa is resource rich. They are playing what the old time nations doing

[11:40 am, 08/06/2022] +Guillermo Cabeza: Priorities
- encouraging a healthier and more active population
- making it easier for people to work longer (to 70years and beyond) if they would like to, by incentivising employers
- a more comprehensive plan for institutional eldercare including for those with dementia
- food security and more generally establishing supply chains which are diverse and resilient
- continuing to forge a middle ground between China and the West
[11:46 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Good points.
Aging workforce will be an added cost to businesses.
The question is to Co share such medical costs between

[11:50 am, 08/06/2022] +Guillermo Cabeza: Well the leadership has managed this very well for more than 50 years so hopefully 4G and 5G can continue to do so
[11:50 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: For food security,
We are 6 million (including visitors and tourists), the supply of foods are secured as long as we are willing price taker?
[11:53 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: It will be, because there are short, mid, long term plannings, ahead.
One sweet thing is, 6 million passengers ship, perhaps this ship will steer and stay clear of the PERFECT STORM in motion and into 2040?
[11:53 am, 08/06/2022] +Guillermo Cabeza: I was thinking along the lines of long term supply contracts, ensuring there are air and ship cargo routes which support this, perhaps working with producers in Malaysia, Australia, NZ and Thailand to get them to prioritise supplying our market. Better to have stable prices than have to pay through the nose as a price taker in times of crisis.
[11:54 am, 08/06/2022] +Guillermo Cabeza: (and no i’m not talking about the $72 chicken!)
[11:56 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Foreign relationships have been one excellent pillars that our 1G till now secure...
Again our demand is small given 6 millions plus excellent relationships with counter parties.
The potential counter party risks are fewer unless there is natural disaster happens to any of the supply country such as drought or flood or famine?
[11:57 am, 08/06/2022] +Guillermo Cabeza: yes agree with your points
[11:57 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: To be exact, there is a $23.70 vacuum pack chicken.
[11:59 am, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: One beautiful thing about our policymakers or government agencies is:
THEY ALWAYS PLAN, PLAN, PLAN.... ahead of things...

1. Political continuity and stability
- Looking for political continuity, capable and a strong Government - as Geopolitical uncertainty pose greater challenges to our security and economy; terrorism threat, global climate threatening our food security, war threatening our energy security.
- Hope we will not have a fractitious, coalition political landscape - that will bring difficult governance like our neighbor, a big Superpower - that result in a polarised, fragmented, quarrelsome society - short of long term vision that drive Econommic growth. security and social compactness.
2. Continue harmony, peace and prosperity among our diverse races and religions and diverse interest groups.
3. Better educated, higher income and higher standard of living among the population.
4. Living healthy, better affordable healthcare and treatment for the population - that prolong the lifespan of the population.
5. Ensure food security - sustainable and affordable food source, cushion against crisis driven food export ban or restriction, impact from global climate - eg. cell-culture meat, plant-based meat for local sufficiency and export.
6. Ensure energy security - sustainable affordable energy supply that rely less on fossil fuel and more on lower carbon and cleaner energy like solar, hydrogen gas, safe nuclear energy, geothermal energy - derive from free solar, H20 water, biomass etc.
7. Control imported inflation - through self sufficiency in food and energy, and devleoping strong Economic Growth.
8. More innovative green urban development - to bring more vibrant domestic economic activities and living spaces.
9. Focus on R&D, creativity, innovation , entrepreneurship - to drive our next phase of Economic growth.

Green sustainability - solar, low carbon hydrogen gas, safe nuclear energy
Medical R&D - treatment for chronic disease, geneome sequencing targeted treatment, prevention against pandemic Disease X etc
10. More public and population participation and feedback in deriving public policies that impact public lives.

Jimmy Carter - by Stephen Hess
“Process President”—using a definition by Aaron Wildavsky and Jack Knott—means that Carter places “greater emphasis on methods, procedures and instruments for making policy than on the content of policy itself.”
He believes that if the process is good the product will be good. In other words, if he sets up a procedure for making policy that is open, comprehensive (his favorite word), and involves good people, whatever comes out of this pipeline will be acceptable (within certain budgetary limits).
But process is only a tool for getting from here to there—it is not a substitute for substance. And good processes can produce conflicting, competing a…

[4:32 pm, 08/06/2022] +Uncle Law: Actually I'm not so concerned who got promoted or who is the upcoming PM.
The main thing is ministers to serve with heart for the citizens and not for their own agendas.
They are already one of the highly paid politicians in the world, all the more they would need to be transparent and look after their citizens.
Policies changes should take into consultation with the various stakeholders for example. It should not be because I think it will work on the ground, then I implement.
I believe many of those in the policies making dept, should be put on the ground to experience what the commoners are facing.
[4:35 pm, 08/06/2022] +Caleb: good, Minister Lawrence looks presentable to represent Singapore.
[4:47 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Hi Uncle Law,
Addon, perhaps, all retirees from MG to PG especially those dependent on personal savings and the monthly CPF withdrawals.
Seniors whom are living on their own for whatsoever family reasons. They can either be alone or couple.
We must start to engage and connect these seniors because the cost of livings has gone up by 15% or more.
Cash trap?
[4:49 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Not to mention, monthly or quarterly medications and checkups... This is part of the seniors cost of livings.
[4:52 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: What's the absolute numbers, our affected seniors?
Do they know how to ask for helps whether is physical or monetary assistant?

Coexist or Conflict, within a nation and outside of a nation.
Social integrations and inequalities will continue to stretch as long as s nation continues the prosperity trajectory. There is really a tough call to balance these social tangles and distorted views.
An advanced economies with almost full employment will mitigate tough times and towards aging cycle. Simply put it this nation will sustain because of continuous prior years of success!

What's the needs and wants of a family unit, an age group and income group?
It will be a meticulous task to dig deep into the daily and future aspirations and expectations of people!
Then formulate strategies to target the receiving ends, this case in totality of 3.5 millions people!
[6:21 pm, 08/06/2022] +Boon: And importantly too, how should the 5G candidate leaders be known to the public and be groomed? With the uncertain horizon and scenarios, is there a bench strength of candidates with skills today? We can’t always depend on national crisis in order to know our leaders. How can residents get to know these potential leaders thru the ideals they would champion, their proposals and execution of their policies to better Sg?
[6:23 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Hi Boon,
Through experience and exposure...
Old saying "baptism of fires"
Covid is a fire, our 4G and 5G have experienced it....
They will learn, they need to learn quicker and coming out smarter and shaper!
Time is the variable, no short cut!

[6:26 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: To continue on the fear of aging...
Environments will determine many outcomes and social behaviors!
Finding ways and means to resolve these future fears will be that BRIGHT SPOT at the end of a person's productive years, this means economics value to society.
[6:27 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: What environments should an aging nation attempt to create?
CREATE HOPE!
[6:28 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: "audacity of hopes"
No hope or feeling hopeless or helpless will be the beginning of attrition of a nation and follows by the system and institutions... Like a domino effect!
LET CREATE HOPES!
[6:31 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: One proud thing....
We luv our homes, we arr proud of our homes!
Redesign HDB of tomorrow's, a fresh hope of COMFORT ZONE!
THIS HOMELY ENVIRONMENTS are crucials, a starting point of each day, each year and into golden ages!

Breakthrough for the coming GE, importantly a first showing for the next lap that is 4G turns...
Bring it on....
[6:35 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Why Jimmy Carter lost.... There wasn't hope!
[6:36 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Why Lee Kuan Yew won millions hearts....
He promised many hopes and importantly he DELIVERED ONE BY ONE!!!

Young man - strolling the supermarket shelves of meat
Old lady - staring at the meat shelve
Young man - hey auntie, the pork expensive heh!
Old lady - pasar is cheaper than here!
Young man - really! Why you still looking?
Old lady - looking for HALF priced pork and hopefully HALF priced things!
Young man - looked into the old lady basket, pretty empty, wondering what she is doing?
[6:43 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: How about renaming HDB flats to HDB apartments?
[6:43 pm, 08/06/2022] +Rama: Good idea
[6:45 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: One way to kick start HOPE is to change things, tweet things. For human will sense the changes to their environments, that's a first starting point and many to come...

[6:48 pm, 08/06/2022] +Rama: In time for the next government
[6:52 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Is a continuous and endless game...
HOPE is never ending, perhaps in each human existential DNA!
[6:52 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: "just like a child never rejects gifts likewise a woman never throws that diamond ring away...?"
[6:53 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Fact, is inside human DNA!
Use it correctly and don't abuse it!
[6:54 pm, 08/06/2022] +Smiley face: Comparison is another DNA...

1. It is not possible to wait for people to provide feedback - before government formulate and implement government policies to govern the Country.
2. Civil Service will have to plan ahead on policies that will solve any issues facing the Country - based on information and issues they face - with well thought out solutions that are crystallised into policies.
3. Thereafter sought public consultation and feedback from the public - so that the policies can be fine-tune and improved - to ensure all policies meet its intended outcome that benefit most, if not all the population with minimal adverse impact.
4. In retrospect, inflation, high cost of living - that are triggered by pandemic, war and global climate - seems to have result in imported inflation on food, energy - whereby domestic business reacted by increasing rent, increase wages to keep staff, increase food price due to imported inflation, increase electricity prices, fuel etc --- that have adversely affected the population and business cost.
This should be the 1st priority the Government should tackle - to tamper the runaway inflation - and keep the Economy on even keel.
