Singapore Prime Minister-in-waiting Lawrence Wong told the media on Tuesday the city-state's incumbent leader Lee Hsien Loong would serve as a senior minister in his cabinet.

Wong is due to take over from Lee on May 15. He said details of a cabinet reshuffle will be announced a few days before the swearing-in ceremony on May 15.

Lee announced on Monday that he's stepping down as the leader of the government.
