‘I have no expectations’: Tan See Leng on his role in 4G leadership

[drdoof]

ST GALLEN, Switzerland – Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said he has no expectations as to what role he will take on in the upcoming Cabinet reshuffle, but is happy to contribute and serve Singaporeans in whichever role Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong sees fit.

He said this in response to a question on whether he will continue in his current role, or if he has expressed any preference for his next role in the new Cabinet, which will be announced by DPM Wong in the lead-up to his being sworn in as prime minister on May 15.

"I don't think that it is my preference, because it's his preference," Dr Tan said, referring to Mr Wong.


"He has to decide, based on my skill sets, what I've done, whether he wants me to continue as manpower minister and as second minister for trade and industry, continue to cover the energy portfolio. I think it's entirely his call."
Dr Tan was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland. The symposium is an annual student-run conference held in May at the University of St Gallen. It hosts inter-generational debates on economic, political and social developments.
He added: "I don't have any expectations. When I retired at age 55 to serve all of you, I had no expectations whatsoever. At that time when they asked me, I said, 'Well, I've only done healthcare all my life', and look at what I've done."


Dr Tan, who is 59, joined politics after close to 30 years in the private sector as a doctor, business executive and entrepreneur. He retired from his post as group chief executive and managing director at IHH Healthcare Berhad, one of the largest listed integrated healthcare providers, before contesting in the 2020 General Election.

He must have some "non-disclosable" expectations.
