This Is How Singapore’s New Cabinet Looks Like After Being Peanutized

This article originally appeared on Vulcan Post

On Monday, the Singapore Government announced the new Cabinet lineup. Around the same time, Singaporeans were going crazy with the new Peanuts website, which allows you to “Peanutize” yourself into one of Charlie Brown’s friends.

So why not bring the two together?

Prime Minister: Lee Hsien Loong

We start off with our Prime Minister, in his iconic pink shirt.

 Minister for Transport: Khaw Boon Wan

Of course, we had to follow that with our brand new Minister for Transport, Khaw Boon Wan. Hope that smile stays on his face as he takes on this new portfolio; Singaporean netizens are already foreseeing that he’s in for a tough job.

Deputy Prime Minister: Tharman Shanmugaratnam

We tried to create everyone’s Prime Minister hopeful, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, but we cheated a little and added a little hair on the side of his head to give him a little credit. Everyone else is well-versed in the art of smiling wide with teeth, but Tharman’s a pretty serious guy, so we left him smile-less.

Minister for Defence: Ng Eng Hen

Well, you can’t have Dr Ng Eng Hen without his classic grin.

Minister for Law and Minister for Home Affairs: K Shanmugam

Minister for Foreign Affairs: Vivian Balakrishnan

We took a bit of creative liberty with Mr Balakrishnan’s outfit, inspired by his latest normcore outfit at the recently held Geekcamp. 

Minister for Manpower: Lim Swee Say

Don’t you love those hipster glasses?

Minister for Culture, Community, and Youth: Grace Fu

And of course, we need to pay homage to Grace Fu, our first full female minister. It’s about time!

Everyone Else

This is where it gets tricky: with the limitations of the app, we couldn’t customise our ministers beyond hair, smile, and outfit. And if you do a quick Google search, you’d realise that many of them share a similar look…

Then add a pair of glasses…

Then change the hair to grey, and….

And that’s everyone! To any of our ministers out there reading this, go ahead and use these images as your Facebook profile pictures. For everyone else, let us know who else you want to see getting Peanutized!
