SINGAPORE — A potential WP candidate expected to fill the empty seat in Sengkang GRC has assured residents in Raeesah Khan's former ward of Compassvale that he will work to address lift issues in the estate. In an Instagram post on April 1, Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik, a senior property manager at Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), said he will work closely with the WP MPs in Sengkang GRC to identify and address the root causes of these lift problems. Sharing photos of his house visits, he said Compassvale residents flagged these concerns about lifts, which «are a crucial mode of vertical transport in Singapore, especially for the elderly». The public promise to Sengkang GRC's residents is the strongest indication yet that Abdul Muhaimin, 35, could be fielded in the four-member constituency at the upcoming general election. Citing his experience in managing lifts in a town council for nearly a decade since August 2015, Abdul Muhaimin said he understands what it takes to keep lifts running safely and reliably.
