New Faces Ready to Shake Things Up!

Singapore's political landscape is heating up as the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) has officially unveiled its lineup for the Chua Chu Kang GRC on Saturday (April 19). Entering the fray is Lawrence Pek, a fresh face who aims to make waves alongside three experienced candidates.

The PSP team features A'bass Kasmani, the party's second vice-chairperson and a seasoned safety practitioner at 71; Wendy Low, the head of the women's wing and a savvy intellectual property lawyer at 48; and S. Nallakaruppan, 60, a chartered accountant and former stockbroker. Pek, a former secretary-general of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation, joins their ranks, ready to advocate for the community.

A Tough Battle Ahead!

This dynamic quartet is gearing up to face tough competition from a People's Action Party (PAP) team led by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, who is joined by former MP Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim and newcomers Jeffrey Siow, a former civil servant, and Choo Pei Ling, an assistant professor at the Singapore Institute of Technology.

What’s New in Chua Chu Kang?

Chua Chu Kang GRC boasts a significant voter base of 93,368, recently reshaped by electoral boundary changes. The GRC now includes parts of Hong Kah North and the Tengah estates, while a new Bukit Gombak SMC has been carved out, with Senior Minister of State Low Yen Ling set to contest there.

A Look Back at 2020 Results!

In 2020, the PAP secured victory with 58.64% of the votes. This time around, the PSP hopes to galvanize support, leveraging its fresh faces and revamped strategies.
