GE2025: People’s Power Party to contest Ang Mo Kio, Tampines GRCs; setting up potential multi-cornered fights

WILLIAM LIM LIAN CHIN

Mr Lim, 47, joined the PPP in 2015. He is currently a limousine service provider and also runs an e-commerce business.

Over the years, Mr Lim has focused his advocacy on transportation issues, including calls for fair competition, as well as income stability for taxi and private-hire drivers, the PPP said.

Mr Lim said he wishes to “fight for stronger protection for all Singaporeans who find themselves at the mercy of the powerful capitalist interest”.

He also described his team for Ang Mo Kio GRC as a group of “ordinary Singaporeans” who hope to “bring parliament back to the people and help the PAP understand how their decisions truly affect the lives of the common Singaporeans”.

MARTINN HO

Mr Ho formerly worked as a senior engineer at the National Environment Agency dealing with environmental protection and development control issues. He retired in 2023.

Through his 38 years in the public sector, he said he saw how “things went from good to bad”, with the culture in the public service becoming impersonal and less effective.

THADDEUS THOMAS

Mr Thomas joined politics in 2020 and was previously a member of the Reform Party. 

During the press conference on Tuesday, Mr Thomas highlighted the issue of job competition from foreign labour, adding that this concern was “often misunderstood as being xenophobic”.

“If elected, we plan to level the playing field in the working world for Singaporeans and for foreigners,” he said.

SAMUEL LEE

Mr Lee introduced himself as an IT engineer specialising in areas such as software deployment and system quality assurance.

He has been with the PPP since late 2023 and is currently a Central Executive Committee member handling media-related matters.

“Without job security and a sustainable career path, especially for the young, no responsible person (will) want to start a family under these circumstances,” he said.

HENG ZHENG DAO

Aged 24, Mr Heng is the youngest candidate fielded by the party. 

He “manages landscaping projects, coordinates workers and conducts plant workshops for both adults and children”, according to the PPP.

Mr Heng said he hopes to look into the practicality of the carbon tax policy and if it could contribute to an increase in cost of living.

He also questioned the potential deployment of nuclear power in Singapore, describing it as a possible “strategical risk”.
