Despite a shaky entry into politics in 2011, when she came under harsh criticism online for her youth and inexperience in politics, Ms Tin has held her own in MacPherson, which she has helmed since 2015. Ms Tin, 36, focused her campaign on caring for the community. This is Mr Goh's fourth electoral defeat since he entered politics in 2006. While he has indicated that this will be his last contest, he said he will work to expand his party and hopes to form an alliance with other opposition parties.
