Promotions and opportunities for political newcomers are expected to be high on Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's agenda as he forms the next Government. This comes after the People's Action Party (PAP) secured 65.57 per cent of the national vote following the May 3 General Election. Several political analysts told AsiaOne that major changes are on the cards, pointing to the big mandate that PM Wong secured in his first election as PAP leader. «Given the overwhelming support he has received from voters, he managed to retain most of his cadre members,» said independent political observer Felix Tan. «He now has the strong mandate to make tough decisions within his party and also will be able to put those that he deems fit into these positions.»

Singapore Airlines (SIA) is rewarding all eligible staff with a profit-sharing bonus of 7.45 months after posting a record-breaking profit of $2.78 billion for the financial year that ended on March 31.  Its net profit was up by 3.9 per cent year-on-year, from $2.68 billion recorded in the previous financial year. The boost in net profit was attributed to the one-off non-cash accounting gain of $1.1 billion from the Air India-Vistara merger completed in November 2024 that resulted in SIA having a 25.1 per cent stake in the enlarged Air India. Group revenue was also up 2.8 per cent year-on-year to a record-high of $19.5 billion, driven by resilient demand for air travel and cargo uplift that brought Scoot and SIA's passenger volume to a high of 39.4 million. But SIA's operating profit declined by 37.3 per cent year-on-year to $1.7 billion as a result of stronger competition. It also proposed a final dividend of 30 cents per share, resulting in a total divided of 40 cents per share for the financial year.

Retiring Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat hopes to spend the next six to 12 months “not doing any work”, before he figures out his next steps. “I have a very bad work habit, I work long hours. I don’t have much time for myself,” he said. “I hope to spend time travelling to all my favourite places, to read my favourite books and listen to my music, so that I can slow down. Then I’ll decide what else might be meaningful for me to do.” The 64-year-old also hopes to spend time with his children and extended family, and continue exercising and taking care of his health. Plans for his post-politics life have been on the cards for at least a year. In May 2024, he told Prime Minister Lawrence Wong just after his swearing-in ceremony that he wanted to retire “if the transition goes well for the rest of the year”. “I had decided on that before that, but I didn’t want to disturb him,” DPM Heng told The Straits Times on May 15. He does not intend to go back to public life, quipping: “Only if I am absolutely needed. Do you have something in mind?”
