Singapore has 16 cabinet ministries. Deputy ministers are selected from the 16 cabinet ministers to reduce public expense.

New Ministerial portfolio- The Minister Of Radical Change!

New Minister Tuesday, 01 May 2018 09:15 AM

Will there be a New Minister of Political Party ( Not People )

Samson Tuesday, 01 May 2018 09:41 AM

Is it going to be another musical chairs? This country in recent times has not had more than 1o% who were suitable for the subjects assigned. Let us see this circus!

Sunil Tuesday, 01 May 2018 09:43 AM

Shuffling these jokers around will not do any good for nation, however "scientific" it may be called. Whatever it is do not give bank robbers a chance.

Vernon Tuesday, 01 May 2018 09:45 AM

Ministry subjects should not change over the years. This is how it was earlier, which worked very well. Then they started dividing ministries to satisfy individuals, which was a disaster. Have fixed scientifically allocated (not by jokers) ministries by constitution and not at the discretion of political parties.

But no one talks about stopping the fast depreciation of the rupee.

Premalal Tuesday, 01 May 2018 10:06 AM

President to ministers "you have done well messing up your present ministries, now I need you to mess up new ones"

R.Anthony Tuesday, 01 May 2018 10:19 AM

Best thing is to give the THOTALANGA man the Ministryof Finance including the Central Bank, Customs, Inland Revenue, Motor Traffic and few other Departments whereMoney making and frauds are possible.

MS you should read the comments of the readers to ascertain the mess you are creating in appointments of ministers in the country.To be successful, you have to appoint people who have the brains to deliver the goods to the peopleWe suppose a man of your stature cannot see the differences between men with brains and mud.All of us are waiting for 2020, after which you will be charged for crimes during your term.You will need the sword to cut your throat, although you had hoped to cut others.The country has gone to the dogs during your regime and you shall pay for the crimes.
