From Nov 1, there will be a new Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Culture, Community and Youth.

It will be helmed by Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng, who is currently the deputy chair of the GPC for Information, Communications and the Arts.

First-term MP for Jurong GRC, David Ong, will be Mr Baey's deputy.

Two other GPCs will also be renamed as GPC for Social and Family Development, and GPC for Communications and Information.

This comes on the back of the Cabinet changes announced earlier by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to set up the new Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY); and restructure the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) into the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF); and the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA) to the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI).

Chua Chu Kang MP Zaqy Mohamad will helm the GPC for Communications and Information, with Mr Baey as his deputy, while MPs Seah Kian Peng and Denise Phua will remain as chairman and deputy respectively of the GPC for Social and Family Development.

The GPCs serve as a feedback mechanism for government policies and programmes.
