Singapore PM says will reshuffle cabinet in coming months

Lee said last year that he would step down in the next couple of years, and the city-state has to hold a general election by early 2021. Lee has said his successor is likely to be a member of the cabinet.

"I 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 a Facebook post.

Parliament will re-open in May after a prorogue, or recess.
