CORRECTION In Brief (April 29) incorrectly stated that Heng Swee Keat was leaving Singapore’s Ministry of
Finance to become deputy prime minister. He will remain finance minister while assuming the
deputy prime minister post. The item also erroneously stated he would be the first nonmember
of the Lee family to lead the city-state; the first was Goh Chok Tong, who was prime minister
from 1990 to 2004. VOTERS: PHOTOGRAPH BY KAREEM BLACK FOR BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK
