The recent Cabinet reshuffle announcement has placed some prominence on Lawrence Wong s new appointment as finance minister, especially with the histories of former finance minister Heng Swee Keat as a past front-runner and former finance minister Lee Hsien Loong who subsequently became the Prime Minister.
Many observers are saying that the field is still open for 4G leadership, with 4G ministers Chan Chun Sing, Ong Ye Kung and Wong still in the running for Singapore s top political job.
The Straits Times editor-at-large Han Fook Kwang said that while Wong s appointment may have propelled him into the position of front-runner, it would take at least one to two years for Wong s colleagues to have a fuller measure of Wong, especially after his first Budget.
