Impressive credentials but WP hardly knows her.

WP never learned their lesson on RS.

To come thru the rank of scholar means they are battle harden strong in opinion.

She spends many years in china. She may have very strong view between US Vs China and that may not come well with Singaporean and WP to lose votes because of that.

I would not field her this round if I am PS.. not as yet.

It will of course have less surgery with 1, 2 or more meetings.
If it is just 1-2 urgent meetings yearly, how would it affect his job
He go attend pap meeting who dare say him? MOH, SMC, Singhealth, NHG?

I would be cautious also but at this point I think everyone just trying to trust that they chose based on the the pool they have to choose from. Not everyone wants to serve at the frontlines. Fingers crossed there aren’t that many Raeesahs

She got promoted to First Secretary at Singapore Embassy in Beijing when at MFA and now working in Asia Philanthropy Circle (Laurence Lien is the Chairman). You say leh...

Googled him, and found out that he is a former NMP. He got speak out on growing income inequality in Singapore after the Ridout scandal

But tbh, for Eileen Chong she is a high-calibre candidate. Just that, not sure if is ok for her to be fielded so soon after only 4 months conducting groundwork.

Somemore, she still quite young. Actually no rush for her too, very sure WP got other suitable candidates as well.

All the best to PS and WP, just hope not a repeat of the RK incident again.

Looking at Eileen's volunteering experience during her uni days, her character should be ok

Volunteer Experience
English teacher to migrant children
智星学校
Sep 2014 - Dec 2014 4 months
Education
For a semester, I gave weekly English classes at a school in rural Beijing that caters to children of migrant workers.

English teacher
CUHK Summer Teaching Programme
Aug 2014 - Aug 2014 1 month
Education
Taught at an English summer camp for children (aged 11-13) at a school in a 3rd tier city in Fujian, China. I was in charge of two classes, with about 20 students each, and taught 7 hours a day. It was more about making the children feel confident about speaking in English and being their window to seeing the bigger world that is out there.
