Encouraging developments in Singapore

When PM Lee made the sweeping changes in the cabinet, I shared the views of many other people that the new ministers may not be able to handle the issues that they have to take charge of.

So far, the developments have been encouraging:

• The minister for national development has decided to build 25,000 new flats and over 10,000 rental flats quickly
• The minister for transport is seen taking buses.
• Many ministers are more proactive in getting feedback from the public and responding to them in a positive way.

We may be seeing a new style of governance and political climate in Singapore.
