Singapore, 29 March 2008 – The widely-anticipated Cabinet reshuffle has finally been announced, and among the changes is a promotion for Teo Ser Luck to Senior Parliamentary Secretary. Mr Teo, who is also a Member of Parliament for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, will take on an additional portfolio at the Ministry of Transport, while retaining his current portfolio at the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS). His promotion will take effect on 1 April 2008.
Mr Teo joined MCYS as Parliamentary Secretary in May 2006 and has focused primarily on the sports portfolio. He chaired the Sporting Culture Committee, which reviewed and put forward recommendations to strengthen and transform Singapore’s sporting culture. He was also an Advisor to Singapore’s Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Bid Committee, which steered Singapore to a successful and historic win to host the inaugural YOG in 2010. At the YOG countdown party at the Padang, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong paid tribute to Teo Ser Luck’s role in securing the win, describing him as having been “living, sleeping, dreaming 5 circles," a reference to the Olympic logo.
