The WP’s victory in Sengkang also means Singaporeans will continue to hear Associate Professor Jamus Lim’s eloquent speeches in Parliament.
Sengkang is second GRC to be won by opposition party
Established in GE2020, Sengkang GRC comprised the Punggol East SMC, the Sengkang Central ward from the Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, as well as parts of Sengkang West SMC. All three constituencies are now defunct.
During GE2020, the WP team led by He Ting Ru won 52.12% of the votes in a historical victory over the PAP. It also marked the second time that the opposition had won a GRC.
In Nov 2021, Raeesah Khan — a WP Member of Parliament for Sengkang GRC – resigned for lying in Parliament over a sexual assault case.
Earlier this February, WP chief Pritam Singh was fined S$14,000 for two charges of lying to a Committee of Privileges regarding his role in Ms Raeesah’s case.
