    MUCH of the scrutiny is on Singapore's next prime minister, but for the business community, the more immediate question is over the next finance minister.

    This comes a day after Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Heng Swee Keat's announcement that he is taking himself out of the running as Singapore's next prime minister and leader of the fourth-generation (4G) ministers while also relinquishing his finance portfolio at the upcoming cabinet reshuffle.
