PAP announces slate for Chua Chu Kang GRC, Don Wee out, Low Yen Ling standing in Bukit Gombak SMC​

Shaping up.

The People's Action Party (PAP) unveiled its candidates for Chua Chu Kang GRC and Bukit Gombak SMC on Apr. 14, 2025.

For Chua Chu Kang GRC, PAP will field Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim, Choo Pei Ling and ex-civil servant Jeffrey Siow, a new face.

The line-up does not include current Chua Chu Kang MP Don Wee, who was not present at the press conference.

Meanwhile, Senior Minister of State Low Yen Ling will be fielded in Bukit Gombak SMC.

Chua Chu Kang GRC​

Jeffrey Siow​

Siow held the role of Second Permanent Secretary at both the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) prior to stepping down from politics.

Prior to his current appointment, Siow was the first Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of Enterprise Singapore.

Siow has also held other appointments in the transport, education, and manpower ministries.

Siow also served as the Principal Private Secretary (PPS) to then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong from 2017 to 2021, a role which current Prime Minister Lawrence Wong previously held from 2005 to 2008.

Speaking at the press conference, Siow shared that his father worked in a coffee shop and his mother was a part-time bank teller before becoming a full-time homemaker

Choo Pei Ling​

Choo was recently spotted walking the ground with Gan, and has been volunteering for 20 years in Chua Chu Kang.

She is an assistant professor at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)'s Health and Social Sciences Cluster, and is a Doctor of Philosophy (Clinical & Imaging Neuroscience).

She is also the Second Adviser to the Kembangan-Chai Chee Grassroots Organisations, a position she took up in 2014.

During the press conference, Choo shared that as a young mother, she can empathise with the "never-ending" pressures of juggling work, childcare and caregiving.

Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim​

Zhulkarnain is a familiar face, having first been elected to Parliament in 2020.

During the press conference, Gan praised his work in Chua Chu Kang, having built up a strong team of volunteers and rolling out programmes to help support vulnerable families.

Zhulkarnain spoke of the Home Improvement Programme in Chua Chu Kang, and enhancing the connectivity of the area.

Gan Kim Yong​

The DPM and Trade Minister confirmed that he will be standing in GE2025.

Don Wee out​

Gan also confirmed that Don Wee will not be standing for election in GE2025.

Bukit Gombak SRC​

Bukit Gombak is a new SMC that was created in the latest report by the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC).

Currently, Bukit Gombak is a branch under Chua Chu Kang GRC, represented by Low.

Low, who was first elected in the 2011 GE, spoke of her 14 years of experience in the area, seeing children grow up and commemorating the opening of a new MRT station.

She said she hoped the residents of Bukit Gombak will give her a chance to continue to serve them.

I think PAP still can't get it.

Their strategy is to go online like 网红 to "connect" to young voters.

To introduce young candidates so hopefully to win more young votes.

I think they can't get their problem statement correct and jump into wrong solutions.


Look at these young candidates. Sit there stonely. Follow the elders. Read from the script.

What's the difference between them and any other older candidates??

Swing voters wants to see candidates with personality. With independent voices and mindset.

PAP will continue to get votes from their forefathers works. But I dun think they will gain any grounds in new batches of voters except new citizen.. obviously.

[Medicated Oil]

No farewell party so that she can cut her ribbons as a advisor for the LAST TIME ????
Dun forget that she is still the HKN advisor at the VERY PRESENT MOMENT.

(I am serious about the above comment.
Her volunteers should host one party for her if she took well care of them for the past 20 years.)

 

[elevate]

Lolol finally the most useless one is out.

Two more to go

 

[ghregular]

oh yeh
public svs
u serve then get lost
thk yourself

 

[batman_888]

Then who going to attend and cut ribbon when got new bus stop and dustbin ?

 

[Linguist]

That one is day to day runninng.
u got problem, then tell your towncouncil.

ur MP can help expedite it by chasing the town council.

But the focus of your MP should be on national issues more. Towncouncils can be run by managers.

Wow china report fake news

It's 160 media. Olso beri clear which side 4G ish aligned wif.

60% supported probably for town council or their town affairs, such as crime rate, cleaniness, amenities and etc leh...

At least that's what my surrounding friends did...

 

[suuhhc]

Not running in GE but still stay put as MP?

 

[muji4832]

There's a thin fine line between stepping down due to personal reasons and being "asked" to go.

 

[oTrixo]

Who are the other 2? JT and?
