Singapore has its second minister of transport in nine months after the country’s prime minister announced a major cabinet reshuffle on Friday.
S Iswaran has been appointed to the role and will take over from Ong Ye Kung, who has been made Singapore’s new minister for health, on 15 May 2021.
Ong, who said he was a fan of music groups such as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and Queen, only took over as Singapore’s minister of transport in July 2020.
