    ABOUT half of Singapore's 15 ministries, including key ones like finance and trade, will be helmed by a new leader come May 15 in a major Cabinet reshuffle just nine months after the general election.

    Key ministries such as finance, trade and industry, manpower and health are among the seven that will see shake-ups in what Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called "a more extensive reshuffle than is usual this early in the term of government".
