SINGAPORE: New faces from various political parties here have started walking the ground as the drums of this year’s General Election start beating louder.
The next contest has to be held by Nov 23, and the formation of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) last month by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong was the first step in the country’s route to the ballot box.

Jeraldine Phneah (WP)
Ms Phneah was spotted in WP's social media posts in December on walkabouts and outreach activities in both East Coast & Jalan Besar GRCs.
Her connection to the WP goes back to the 2015 General Election, when she started volunteering with the Jalan Besar team.
After that election, she joined the party's East Coast-Fengshan team and helped out with grassroots activities. Since then, the WP member has been vocal about socio-economic issues on various social media platforms, including her blog, where she regularly details her views and experiences.
In a blog post earlier this month reflecting on Singapore's 60th anniversary, she said she joined WP as she believed political competition would improve governance in Singapore. "It was a good platform for me to contribute to building a credible and rational opposition and drives improvements for Singapore," she wrote.
According to her LinkedIn account, Ms Phneah is currently an account director at market intelligence platform AlphaSense, where she has been employed since 2023.

In response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threats to isolate Chinese goods from the U.S. market, China is reportedly seeking to engage U.S. allies in Europe and Asia to mitigate the potential impact on its economy.
What Happened: Trump’s campaign promise to impose tariffs of up to 60% on Chinese imports poses a significant threat to Xi Jinping‘s economic model, which is heavily reliant on manufacturing and exports, reported The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
To counter this, the Chinese leadership is reportedly considering offering tariff cuts, visa exemptions, and other incentives to U.S. allies in Europe and Asia. This strategy, termed “unilateral opening,” represents a shift from China’s traditional quid-pro-quo approach to economic and diplomatic deals.

following resignation of former transport minister S. Iswaran after a corruption probe. MPs in West Coast GRC are National Development Minister Desmond Lee, Ms Foo Mee Har, Ms Rachel Ong and Mr Ang. New faces spotted at West Coast GRC in past few months include Sembcorp head of corporate affairs Valerie Lee and entrepreneur Chua Wei-Shan. But both women do not fulfil the GRC’s ethnic minority requirement.

Judge’s verdict: Monday (Feb 17) finding him guilty of two counts of lying to a parliamentary committee, Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh
When asked about the possibility of being asked to step down, he said, “The need of the hour is for me to step up, not step down.” The judge imposed the maximum fine of $7,000 for each charge when he announced Mr Singh’s sentence after he took a three-hour break, having heard from both the prosecution and the defence. When asked about the possibility of being asked to step down, he said, “The need of the hour is for me to step up, not step down.” The judge imposed the maximum fine of $7,000 for each charge when he announced Mr Singh’s sentence after he took a three-hour break, having heard from both the prosecution and the defence.
Earlier Monday (Feb 17), Deputy Principal District Judge Luke Tan said he accepted account told by former WP MP Raeesah Khan over Mr Singh’s, whom he said had “willfully” told untruths to a Committee of Privileges (COP).While prosecution had sought maximum fine of $7,000 for each charge, Mr Singh’s lawyer said, he should be fined no more than $4,000 for each. He argued that WP chief had nothing to do with the initial lie from former WP MP Raeesah Khan, which led to the investigation from the COP, or “the fact that Ms Khan chose to tell the lie in the first place.”
When judge returned to court at 3:20 pm, one of the first things he said was that jail term was not warranted in Pritam’s case, reported The Straits Times, adding that Ms Khan had not actually been harmed by Mr Singh’s actions.
