Ong Ye Kung was meant to be a backbencher or MOS/PS the most. His credentials are not one that would put him into cabinet. However NTUC heads are always cabinet ministers - LBH, LSS.
Looks like Heng Chee How will be the next to succeed as Minister in PMO and take charge of NTUC.
he another from the ex PPS club like Heng Swee Heat, in fact he was the PM PPS just before Lawrence
I have no farking doubt that he is Lim Swee Say heir... and he will come in straight as MOS like Lawrence and Tan CJ and be the core oid PAP 4G if he was elected ...
