As one of the younger members of the PAP’s slate this election, Ms Cassandra Lee also said she hopes to speak up for other young people if elected.






SINGAPORE – PAP new face Cassandra Lee, 33, wants to be a voice for young parents and youth, if she is elected as an MP for West Coast-Jurong West GRC.

The lawyer and mother of a three-year-old son said she relates to the challenges young working families face.

“They need to juggle between caring for aged parents, raising young children and pursuing their own career aspirations,” said Ms Lee, speaking to the media at the party’s branch in West Coast on April 14.

“These struggles and concerns are real, and they deserve more attention, so I hope to be able to speak up for them,” she said.

Ms Lee, who is an assistant director at professional services company EY, was on April 15 introduced as part of the PAP’s slate in West Coast-Jurong West.

She and surgeon Hamid Razak are the two political newcomers who are part of the team led by Minister for National Development Desmond Lee.

Foo has been in West Coast GRC since 2011.

When asked about her potential retirement, Foo pointed out that the Prime Minister would announce it in time, but neither confirmed nor denied if she would be retiring.

The two new candidates, lawyer Cassandra Lee and orthopaedic surgeon Hamid Razak, have been seen on PAP’s walkabouts around the estates of the GRC.

West Coast GRC MP Foo Mee Har was also at the press conference where she thanked residents and praised the two new faces.

Ong was not at the press conference. When asked about Ong, Lee said that Ong had made "significant contributions" and praised her efforts in helping to support the residents.

Ong represents Telok Blangah ward. However, the polling district in the Telok Blangah estate was moved to Tanjong Pagar GRC on the recommendation of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee report.

Lee did not confirm if Ong would be a part of PAP's team for Tanjong Pagar GRC
