Nicole Rebecca Seah Xue Ling ( 佘雪玲; born 1986) is a Singaporean who is contesting the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency in the 2011 general election. She is a member of the opposition National Solidarity Party (NSP), and an executive at Starcom MediaVest Group. The press nicknamed her Little Nonya.




Nicole Seah studied at Tanjong Katong Secondary School and Victoria Junior College - all within the Marine Parade precinct; and graduated with a Bachelor of Social Science (Hons) degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS), under the University Scholars' Programme. She is fluent in both Chinese and English.

Nicole said that her first "political awakening" came in 2003 when she was a 17-year-old junior college student. She had been involved with community work since secondary school and also made house visits to deliver food to the needy. She recalled that whilst conducting a house visit, she was surprised to see an old lady who had a roof over her head but not enough money to buy a meal. That angered her because they have provided food for her for that one day, but not the rest of the days. She realised that government policies should have been implemented to tackle the root of the matter, and not rely on voluntary welfare organisations to do the job.

One key issue pertinent to Nicole's campaign is the rising cost of living that is straining the middle and lower classes. She also wants to represent the voices of young Singaporeans who feel that they want a stake in Singapore, who feel that they want to have their voices heard, but who have been apathetic all this while because they feel powerless to make any real change.

Nicole is unlikely to enter Parliament, as the PAP under Goh Chok Tong is expected to retain the seat of Marine Parade GRC. Tin Pei Ling, a less popular lady is expected to be the MP, carried into Parliament by the winning team. But I believe miracles can happen!

    Nicole = somebody

    TPL = someTHING

  • Yes, miracles can happen but quite unlikely.

    But because of the GRC trick we are forced to have TinTin over her? Seriously, if Sylvia Lim doesn't get in as well and this Tin-Can does, i promise i won't get within a 5km radius of our parliament building.

  • She is a hypocrite. After election, she is now cashing in. How stupid are we to transfer money to her personal account. Such bullshit.

  • Nicole, thank you for showing the courage to stand up against the PAP policies. It is ppl like you tt make ppl like us who have become apathetic towards politics in S'pore and accepting in silence the bullying tactics of the ruling class, that we can stand up again and take back our self respect and not be afraid of them anymore. You're beautiful inside and outside and i hope you stay tt way always. Hope you'll continue fighting for the down-trodden till the next election.
