Singapore GE: PAP introduces new candidate Xie Yao Quan to replace Ivan Lim in Jurong GRC

Monday, 29 Jun 2020 01:47 PM MYT

Xie, 35, the head of healthcare redesign at Alexandra Hospital, will be fielded in Jurong Group Representation Constituency along with new face Shawn Huang, 37, a director for enterprise development at Temasek International. Shortly after Lim’s introduction by PAP on Wednesday, several claims surfaced online on his attitudes while in military service and in his career at Keppel Offshore and Marine. He was accused of displaying elitist behaviour during a military exercise and being arrogant, among others.

“They’re not in the second team. But we have to decide on the cast we initially put on the ground and then we make some changes along the way,” he said.
