NSP Intro the youngest candidate 24yrs old Nicole Seah - 21Apr2011

SINGAPORE: A 24-year-old advertising executive is among five new candidates that the National Solidarity Party (NSP) is introducing to contest at Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (GRC).

24-year-old Nicole Rebecca Seah Xue Ling, an executive with advertising agency Starcom MediaVest Group, will also be the youngest candidate so far.

Ms Seah, who graduated from the National University of Singapore under the University Scholars' Programme, said she will be addressing cost of living issues.

Her team members include 60-year-old Cheo Chai Chen, 63-year-old Ivan Yeo Tiong Boon, 29-year-old Abdul Salim Harun, and 31-year-old Spencer Ng Chung Hon.

Mr Cheo Chai Chen, who joined NSP in 2006, made his first foray into politics in 1988 with the Singapore Democratic Party. He was elected to Parliament as the Member of Parliament for Nee Soon Central Single Member Constituency (SMC) in 1991.

He is currently in the publishing business.

Another candidate, Mr Ivan Yeo is the Managing Director of an investment company. He has been a member of the Central Executive Committee of NSP since 1994.

A warehouse assistant at a logistics company, Mr Abdul Salim Harun, aspires to represent the working class, especially blue-collar workers. He was with the Workers' Party in 2005, and was the youngest candidate in the 2006 General Election at the age of 24.

The fifth candidate is Mr Spencer Ng Chung Hon, the founder of an events company. He served in the Education Ministry from June 2003 to June 2006.

With this, the NSP looks set to go head-to-head with the People's Action Party team that will be led by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong at Marine Parade GRC.

The NSP had earlier announced that it would also contest Jurong, Chua Chu Kang and Tampines GRCs.

Dear People, it is true that we "want" and "neeD" opposition party in the Parliament. But not to the extent of jeopardizing the "Structure" of our Country. We cannot want any good MPs down just because we don't like the colour. Please Be more realistic and rationale in the next 5 years election. Thank you.

Nicole, go fight other Constituency "IF" You got Brains. Even if you can get our "Top Leaders" Down, Do you think You are up to the Mark of George Yeo Yong-Boon ?

Yes pap has been great to us singapore citizen and we will forever be thankful but that was during lee kuan yew era the transformation he's given to singapore was incredible. Post lky, gct and lsl aren't that great, I as a singaporean think more can be done to the middle and lower income. With the current issues singaporean are facing right now ppl are looking towards opposition coz pap are not that relevant anymore.

@IsaacIsLow well, look, even though she won, still spaming on the dislike button. But anyway, it would probably take quite a long time for Tin Pei Ling to really catch up with the likes button~

This shows that much need to be done for accountability in singapore, need more voices of the opposition in the parliament to keep PAP in check
