PoliticsCabinet reshuffle, Faishal’s resignation and Patrick Tse’s death: Three key topics discussed

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced a cabinet reshuffle that promoted several younger political office-holders, prompting discussion about its signals and main features. Faishal, formerly acting minister-in-charge of Muslim affairs and senior minister of state for home affairs, resigned on July 20 and left the People’s Action Party after officials said he had interacted inappropriately online with a female member of the public and failed to set boundaries early enough. The programme also examines the death of film legend Patrick Tse at 89, including rumours about his estate, his low-key funeral arrangements and his past romances.
