Ms Lee, 39, head of business interests for Singapore and Southeast Asia at Sembcorp Industries, was recently spotted on the ground in West Coast GRC and East Coast GRC.
She was originally the president of The Frontier Community Club Management Committee in Pioneer SMC, and was awarded the Public Service Medal in 2023.
Ms Lee was also originally the chairman of Singtel’s energy firm, and assistant director of SP Group’s industrial energy platform.
She is a family of a two-year-old, and said during the press event that she had two pregnancies recently.
“This knowledge has definitely grown in ways that I didn’t hope, but it also made me more determined than ever to be a message for those who often feel unknown in the quest of starting a home and immediately maintaining one,” she said.
“Through my years of working, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best ideas don’t come from the top, but from the earth off, from Singaporeans themselves. And I love bringing those thoughts to career, ” added Ms Lee.
With the formation of a new Punggol GRC following previous month’s Electoral Boundaries Review Committee review, the remaining regions in the now-defunct Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC were merged with adjacent areas from East Coast GRC. Together with the Loyang and Flora lands, they formed Pasir Ris-Changi GRC.
The Singapore Democratic Alliance ( SDA ) has said it will contest the GRC, with party chairman Desmond Lim saying it will focus its resources there. SDA has been contesting Pasir Ris-Punggol in every election since 2006 without victory.
At the last election in 2020, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC hosted a three-way contest between the PAP, SDA and People’s Voice ( PV ). The PAP won with 64. 16 per share of the vote, while PV lost its payment.
The People’s Alliance for Reform partnership, which comprises three functions including PV, did not contain Pasir Ris-Changi in the seven districts it said it would challenge.
For this year’s vote, Pasir Ris-Changi GRC did see 100,639 citizens, with the East Coast rooms- covering areas in Changi, Loyang as well as Pulau Ubin and Pulau Tekong- spanning 12,871 voters.
