SINGAPORE: Earlier in March, Singapore’s Chief of Army handed over command to his successor.
It’s a routine move that takes place every few years – except the timing has fuelled murmurings that Major-General David Neo could resign from service, enter politics and contest the imminent General Election (GE2025).

[Tee tiong huat]

Back when the change was announced in late February, the defence ministry said MG Neo would remain in MINDEF “to complete transition and other administrative matters”. CNA has contacted him for comment.

He would not be the first senior military officer to walk that path, with the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) in particular having long sourced political talent from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).

At the last election in 2020, former brigadier-generals Gan Siow Huang and Desmond Tan were fielded as PAP candidates, and have since become political office holders.

Labour chief and former minister Ng Chee Meng’s Sengkang GRC team lost to the Workers’ Party at that same polls. Five years prior, Mr Ng had resigned as Chief of Defence Force to contest GE2015, and won as part of the PAP's Pasir Ris-Punggol team.

Throw a kitchen sink at him, and he’ll keep coming back like a scene from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator. Instead of licking his wounds after the boundaries in Bukit Batok were redrawn, Dr Chee said that the ward he previously contested in was unfairly “yanked away” from him. But there is nothing stopping him now. Chee has found a new stomping ground for his upcoming campaign in 2025. Dubbed as SDP’s Northern Strategy, SDP eyes the Northern districts of Singapore.
The Independent Singapore has followed him on his campaign trail and saw him firsthand doing house visits and greeting residents in Woodlands. Sembawang West, the newly minted single-member constituency, is a familiar ground for SDP, and the ground team has been covering this constituency since 2011.

S'PORE – PAP’s latest crop of candidates could be its youngest since 2011 election, with more women in the mix.


In all, The Straits Times has identified around 30 new faces who could stand in the upcoming election. Among them are senior civil servants, C-suite executives and long-serving grassroots volunteers. This is in line with the party’s practice of refreshing between a quarter and a third of its slate each term. As Singapore’s next Parliament will have 97 elected members, it is likely to field between 24 and 32 new faces.

GE2025: Why Singapore's high-flying bureaucrats are recruited into politics
In recent weeks, top ministry officials have resigned, fuelling speculation they could be fielded as potential candidates for the ruling People's Action Party in the 2025 General Election.

[Tee tiong huat]

In recent weeks, reported resignations of six senior public servants have - like it did with Mr Lee in 2006 - led to speculation they maybe candidates for ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in the coming General Election (GE).

Among them is Mr Jeffrey Siow, 2nd permanent secretary at ministries of manpower as well as trade & industry; & Ms Goh Hanyan, a director in Ministry of Digital Development and Info.

It remains to be seen if all former public servants go on to contest in GE2025 - but if they do, the number is more or less in line with previous GEs. At the last GE in 2020, five out of 27 new faces - about 19 per cent - fielded by the PAP were public servants, excluding those from the Singapore Armed Forces. The equivalent numbers were four out of 24 (17%) at GE2015 & seven out of 24 (29%) at GE2011 ruling party’s history of mining political talent from both military & - which encompasses ministry-only civil service & other govt agencies like statutory boards - goes back decades.
