Cabinet reshuffle: Biodata of ministers with new roles
SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday announced a reshuffling of roles within the Cabinet as he renews his leadership bench ahead of the next general election.
Here's a look at the biodata of ministers affected by the reshuffle:
Mr Chan Chun Sing, 45
Mr Chan will be Singapore's new labour chief from May 4, taking over the role from Mr Lim Swee Say, who has resigned from the National Trade Unions Congress (NTUC).
He will relinquish his appointments as Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for Defence from Thursday.
Mr Chan has been with the NTUC part-time since January, and full time since April, after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong agreed to a request from the NTUC central committee for him to join the labour movement as part of its leadership succession process.
He joined politics in 2011, after 24 years in the Singapore Armed Forces, where he rose to become Chief of Army. He was elected an MP of Tanjong Pagar GRC in the May 2011 general election, and was immediately appointed Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, and concurrently, Minister of State for Information, Communications and the Arts.
Then aged 41, he was the youngest minister in the Cabinet.
In August 2012, he was appointed Senior Minister of State for Defence. In November, he became Acting Minister for Social and Family Development.
Then, in September 2013, he was promoted to full minister, making his rise among the swiftest in the group which entered politics in the 2011 election.

Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, 46
Mr Tan, who is now Manpower Minister, will be appointed Minister for Social and Family Development on Thursday. He will hold both positions until he relinquishes his manpower portfolio on May 4.
Mr Tan, 46, joined politics in 2011 after 24 years in the Singapore Armed Forces. The former brigadier-general was elected an MP for Marine Parade GRC in the May 2011 general election, and was immediately appointed Minister of State for Manpower and National Development.
He is widely seen as part of the People's Action Party's fourth generation of leaders, all of whom entered politics in the 2011 general election. The others are Education Minister Heng Swee Keat, 54, Mr Chan Chun Sing, 45, and Mr Lawrence Wong, 42.
In August 2012, he was made Acting Manpower Minister and Senior Minister of State for National Development. He relinquished his National Development portfolio in September 2013.
He was promoted to Manpower Minister with effect from May last year.
During his stint at the Ministry of National Development, he was the Government's unofficial point person for engaging with non-governmental organisations - a role he continues to play even after leaving the ministry.
Mr Tan, who maintains an active presence on social media, takes a keen interest in environmental and heritage issues. When controversy broke over the redevelopment plans for the Bukit Brown cemetery, he was the key official reaching out to interest groups which were against the building of a road cutting through the cemetery.
He has also led public discussions on policies such as the Rail Corridor on disused railway land, and foreign maid matters.

While PAP is creating history and helping to better the lives of sinkies on a daily basis, people like chee and low continue to consume more resources and waste our government's precious time. They all will fade away and people won't even realize they were gone. You should join PAP, or at least join PA, to help improve the lives of your fellow sinkies and residents.
stick to topic. What has Chee and Low have to do with incompetent people here?
Better the lives of sinkees ...by importing 2.9 million foreigners that our infrastructure and economy cannot support? By displacing sinkees from good paying jobs with foreigners? By let foreigners take away spots in schools from our children? By spending $250 million yearly on scholarships for foreigners?
PA improves the lives of sinkees? How? By sending its staff to chiat hong trips? By building things that residents don't want?
Wow... and Lim Swee Say, once the leader of the so-called labour movement, is now the Manpower Minister.
You simply could not make this shit up.
Betterer,
Bestest....

por lan par mentality like u want to talk politic ?
u can sing songs with my honey birds...jiu jiu jiu..
PAP is helping sinkees by
1. stealing their CPF money;
2. importing 2.9 foreigners to take away our livelihoods;
3. supporting foreign students to the tune of $250 million annually while giving pittance to sinkees;
4. letting foreigners take up spots in top schools, displacing sinkees;
5. .....
PAP's definition of helping sinkees is to screw us.
its was once said that Ministers are like Chairmen of Board .
SMS , MS , Snr PSec , are its Board of Directors .
PS the CEO
Your mother father must have die young
