SINGAPORE : The ruling People's Action Party has released the names of those elected to its Central Executive Committee (CEC), with National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan being the notable absentee.
Mr Mah who was one of five members co-opted into the previous CEC two years ago, did not feature in the party's latest highest decision-making body - which was decided at a meeting on Wednesday.
His place has been taken over by Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam, who was elected by party cadres in secret ballots cast at the PAP Party Conference on November 29 at the NUS University Cultural Centre.
Mr Shanmugam is a member of the HQ Executive Committee and also Chairman of the PAP Awards Sub-Committee.
Another change involves Mrs Josephine Teo. She is now a member of the HQ Executive Committee, and takes over as Chairman of the External Relations Sub-Committee from Mr Lee Yi Shyan.
Mr Lim Boon Heng remains as Chairman of the CEC, with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as its Secretary-General.
Finance Minister Tharman Shamugaratnam is now the new Treasurer of the CEC, replacing Mr Mah.
