The Straits Times published a report entitled MP Jeffrey Siow being considered for new Cabinet line-up on 17 May 2025.
MediaCorp's news also reported on 17 May 2025 that Mr Jeffrey Siow said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had spoken to him about joining the Cabinet.
Neither mainstream media seem content to wait for the official announcement.
Mr Siow gave up his position as second permanent secretary for trade and industry and manpower to join the People's Action Party and contest General Election 2025. Isn't it plainly obvious that he will be appointed to the Cabinet once he is elected (he was). Otherwise, why end his civil service career to be a backbencher?
What is so newsworthy about Mr Siow's being considered for a position in the Cabinet?
Why not speculate about other MPs, whether new or existing, whose inclusion in the Cabinet may not be so clear cut?
