Former People's Association chief executive Desmond Tan Kok Ming was introduced on Wednesday as a People's Action Party candidate for the 2020 General Election.
Married with three children aged 22, 19 and nine, Mr Tan holds a Bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering from the Victoria University of Manchester and a Nanyang Fellows MBA from the Nanyang Technological University. “As a chief executive we look at planning, we look at bringing programmes and support to the residents. But being a Member of Parliament, you’re actually the voice of the people, you speak up for them,” he said.
“COVID-19 has done a big blow to many SMEs and entrepreneurs, and Timbre is no exception. So you may then ask why am I not hunkering down in my business, and instead standing to be a Member of Parliament?” said Mr Chia. Mr Chia is currently a council member of Ngee Ann Polytechnic and National Youth Achievement Award Council. He was also the co-chair of the Youth Action Plan.
