Given how he has put bitcoin front and centre to kickstart his political journey, is he a crypto millionaire who made his fortune in acquiring bitcoin years ago? He replied candidly: "I bought six bitcoins, something like 12 or 13 years ago at US$300 (then S$384) each." He has managed to keep six of them. At current prices of around S$111,000 each, his remaining stash works out to around S$666,000.

PAP new face Gho Sze Kee to run in Mountbatten SMC, 4-term MP Lim Biow Chuan to retire​

Meanwhile, former MP Lim Biow Chuan will step down.

At a candidate introduction session on Apr. 20, Marine Parade anchor minister Tan See Leng said that Lim will be retiring after "serving tirelessly for many terms".

Lim Biow Chuan steps down after 19 years as MP​

The 61-year-old started serving as a MP as part of the Marine Parade team in 2006. Lim has been the MP for Mountbatten SMC since 2011.

Tan thanked Lim for his contributions as the town council chairman for 15 years, deputy Speaker of Parliament from 2015 to 2020, and the President of the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). Lim was also part of a few Government Parliamentary Committees in the past few years.

Gho Sze Kee wants to be a "bridge builder" to bring people together​


Gho, 46, said that she has been a community leader and a PAP branch activist for 13 years.

Speaking about her motivations to run for GE2025, Gho said that she has a "personal conviction" to give back to Singapore. As a mother, she also feels a "sense of mission to safeguard the future for the next generation".

She believes that to make a bigger difference, she needs to join politics.
"It's not just about flagging issues upwards, but bridging the gap between policy and the people. And also, it's not just about the grand gestures. Sometimes it's about helping elderly residents apply for amenity fund or connecting someone to respite services. And this is something that is very, very close to my heart, because at the end of the day, policies are national, but trust, compassion, kindness are personal, and that's where I truly hope that I will be given a chance to make a difference if elected as your MP."

Gho said she wants to be a "bridge builder" to bring residents together and to "revive the kampong spirit in Mountbatten".

Gho may face a multi-cornered fight in the SMC, with the People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) and "Bitcoin candidate" Jeremy Tan both having declared their intent to run there.

Surname Gho? Was there a spelling typo during birth registration? It happens. My maternal aunt's surname is spelt differently from her siblings because of registration typo. But she never applied to change it and lived fine with it.
