By Massita Ahmad SINGAPORE, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong Tuesday announced that he will reshuffle the Cabinet after Parliament prorogues, to give the younger members more exposure and responsibility. “This way, my successor will be supported by a stronger and more experienced team, committed to leading Singapore to a better and brighter future,” he said in his latest update on Facebook . According to Lee, Singapore Budget debate starts Tuesday, followed by the Committee of Supply. “After that, Parliament will prorogue for a mid-term break, and re-open in May,” he wrote. Lee noted that the president’s address at the opening of Parliament will set out the government’s programme for the rest of this term. “I am asking the fourth generation ministers to draft the government’s agenda for the president’s address. It will give Singaporeans a better sense of them and their thoughts,” he wrote further. -- BERNAMA
