In May of this year, Mr. Shahrin was appointed CEO of SingPost Singapore. Before that, he was  , managing director of SMRT’s Thomson-East Coast Line and senior vice president of corporate connections at SMRT Corporation.
We applaud Shahrin for his contributions to SingPost during his lifetime and wish him the best of luck in his upcoming endeavors, SingPost stated on Monday.
Mr. Shahrin has participated in West Coast GRC.
He is a district representative in the People’s Action Party’s ( PAP ) Malay Affairs Bureau, which was formed in 1954 to represent the views of the Malay-Muslim community to the party leadership.
He is also president of the Ayer Rajah Community Club ‘s , Malay Activity Executive Committee.
West Coast GRC is already a five-member GRC.
Before he resigned from the PAP in January 2024, it was led by former transport secretary S Iswaran, who was charged with corruption and with obtaining goods as a common slave.  , He was sentenced to 12 months in jail next October.
Desmond Lee, Foo Mee Har,  , Ang Wei Neng, and Rachel Ong are the other West Coast GRC members of parliament.
By November, Singapore may hold a general election, and political economists anticipate surveys to be held as early as April.
With 51.7 percent of the ballot, the PAP just won West Coast in the previous General Election in 2020 versus a Progress Singapore Party group that included Tan Cheng Bock, Leong Mun Wai, Hazel Poa, Nadarajah Loganathan, and Jeffrey Khoo.
Mr. Leong and Ms. Poa later became Non-Constituency MPs, jobs that are offered to the best losers in a public vote as part of a plan to ensure a maximum amount of opposition members in congress.
