Singapore GE2020: ProgressSgParty unveils full list of 24 candidates; no Lee Hsien Yang for now. singaporevotes
SINGAPORE - The Progress Singapore Party on Friday introduced the last six of its 24 candidates for the coming general election with one notable name missing - Mr Lee Hsien Yang, who joined the PSP about three months ago.
"Let me remind you, in politics, change can happen. Candidates can be switched all around so you will have to just wait and see," said the 80-year-old former People's Action Party MP and 2011 presidential candidate.Candidates, he said, will be fielded in the single-seat wards of Marymount, Yio Chu Kang, Pioneer, Hong Kah North and Kebun Baru as well as West Coast, Nee Soon, Choa Chu Kang and Tanjong Pagar GRCs.
In the five-seat Tanjong Pagar GRC, the PSP will field lawyer Wendy Low, 43; technologist Harish Pillay, 60; PSP organising secretary Michael Chua, 55; senior trainer Abas Kasmani, 67; and new face Terence Soon, 29, a Singapore Airlines pilot. Meanwhile, psychiatrist Ang Yong Guan, 65; chartered accountant Kayla Low, 43; and former publisher of the website The Independent Singapore Kumaran Pillai, 57; will stand in the newly formed wards of Marymount, Yio Chu Kang and Kebun Baru respectively.
Dr Tan Cheng Bock said:"I am not fielding an Indian or a Chinese or an Englishman or a Malay. When you go to the polls, look at the person, not the colour , not how big or how small he is... Vote for them according to their ability, honesty, sincerity and willingness to serve." Responding to the accusations on Friday, Mr Leong, who has been the PSP's liaison among the various opposition parties here, said he has been in direct contact with RP secretary-general Kenneth Jeyaratnam from the beginning.
