SINGAPORE: The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) is interested in contesting the West Coast, Tanjong Pagar and Choa Chu Kang Group Representative Constituencies (GRCs) as well as the Hong Kah North, Marymount, Pioneer, Yio Chu Kang and Kebun Baru Single Member Constituencies (SMCs) in the upcoming General Election (GE), party secretary-general Tan Cheng Bock said on Tuesday (Jun 23).
However, Dr Tan, who was answering questions from members of the media at a virtual press conference, maintained that things could change and the final decision on the seats that PSP will contest will only be unveiled on Nomination Day.
“We select the areas we want to contest based on whether we can win or not. And there are certain places I’m quite familiar with,” said Dr Tan.

Dr Tan noted that his experience as a Member of Parliament (MP) and his work as a medical doctor in the area will help PSP gain an advantage in the seats it plans to contest in the western part of Singapore.
Dr Tan was MP for Ayer Rajah for 26 years, when he was with the People’s Action Party. The ward is now part of West Coast GRC.
They include Dr Ang Yong Guan, who contested in the 2011 and 2015 polls as a member of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) and Singaporeans First respectively.
The other potential candidates are Dr Tan Meng Wah, an academic and former fellow of the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), chartered accountant Ms Kayla Low, National University of Singapore Law undergraduate Mr Choo Shaun Ming, business consultant and trainer Mr A’bas Kasmani as well as technologist Mr Harish Pillay.
