Abstract
In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan discussed the latest Cabinet changes and what it means for the fourth-generation (4G) leadership. He noted that given the demands and vagaries of politics and public office, it is advantageous for the 4G leadership to be adequately staffed, and to possess sufficient depth and breadth in their ranks. As it stands, the 4G leadership has a predominantly public sector or military background prior to entering politics. He also added that next year’s reshuffle is likely to see most, if not all, of the 4G leadership being reassigned ministerial portfolios, to enable them to cut their teeth and learn the ropes in new areas.
