Ng Chee Meng moves to Faishal’s seat in front bench as Parliament adjusts seating plan
Ng’s shift was among several changes to the Parliament’s seating plan that was reflected on its website on Aug 4.
The Singaporean Parliament has adjusted its seating plan following a Cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on July 22. Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Ng Chee Meng has moved to the front bench, taking the seat of former Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim, who resigned due to a "lapse of judgment" in handling his interactions with a woman.
This change is part of several adjustments to the Parliament's seating plan that were reflected on the Parliament's website on August 4. Other notable moves include Zaqy Mohamad and Sim Ann retaining their seats just behind the front bench, while former senior minister of state Koh Poh Koon takes over Ng Chee Meng's previous seat.
The changes also reflect the recent promotions and appointments of Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Zaqy Mohamad and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs Sim Ann, as well as the recent promotions and appointments of Acting Manpower Minister Jasmin Lau and Goh Pei Ming.
