SINGAPORE - Several of the PAP's 27 new faces have the potential to become political office-holders, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday ."I'm quite confident that several of them will become office-holders in due course," Mr Lee told reporters at a virtual press conference to unveil the party's lineup for Ang Mo Kio GRC.

This year, the People's Action Party will be fielding high-flyers from the public and private sector, such as former People's Association chief Desmond Tan, 50, and former Parkway Holdings group chief executive, Dr Tan See Leng, 55. When he was formally introduced as a candidate last week, Mr Desmond Tan, also a former brigadier-general in the Singapore Armed Forces, was asked for his thoughts on speculation that he has been earmarked for a Cabinet position.
