PAP's Lam Pin Min unveils team to contest Sengkang GRC, pledges to 'win back trust' of residents
A four-member team from the People's Action Party (PAP) led by former senior minister of state Dr Lam Pin Min and comprising three new faces will contest Sengkang GRC in the upcoming General Election.
The new candidates are Associate Professor Elmie Nekmat, venture capital firm director Theodora Lai, and food and beverage company director Bernadette Giam. They were introduced alongside Dr Lam, who is an ophthalmologist, at a press conference on Sunday (April 13) at PAP's Sengkang West branch in Anchorvale.
This team is a «refreshed» one formed after learning from the experience of General Election 2020, Dr Lam said.
«We did post mortem on some of the reasons why we lost, if you look at the refreshed Sengkang team, now you can tell the difference from the last one,» Dr Lam explained.
Lai, 39, Giam, 38, and Dr Nekmat, 43, are younger than their counterparts from the previous team that consisted of labour chief Ng Chee Meng, 56; Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs and Health Amrin Amin, 47; and lawyer Raymond Lye, 59.
