SINGAPORE - The new Sengkang GRC will likely be the stage for a face-off between a PAP team led by labour chief Ng Chee Meng, and a Workers' Party contingent that looks to be helmed by lawyer He Ting Ru.
The PAP team seen at the nomination centre included Mr Ng, formerly an MP for Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC; Senior Minister of State for Transport and Health Lam Pin Min; Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs and Health Amrin Amin, and PAP new face Raymond Lye, a lawyer. Of the four candidates fielded by the WP, three are new faces taking part in their first general election. Ms He had been part of the WP team contesting Marine Parade GRC in 2015.
Everyone wore a mask. Temperature screening was conducted before candidates and their endorsers could enter the nomination centre, and those who did were seen scanning the SafeEntry QR codes for contact tracing.
