SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s choice to have only one deputy prime minister and three coordinating ministers in the latest Cabinet changes creates a broader senior leadership team, said political observers.

They added that it leaves open the possibility for one of the fourth-generation ministers to be appointed as deputy prime minister in a future reshuffle, with Chan Chun Sing and Ong Ye Kung the front runners, having been appointed coordinating ministers in this round.
