Gan Siow Huang stops by for a chat with Leong Mun Wai, PSP team, at Shunfu Market
Mr Leong wrote on Sept 28: I enjoyed listening to many interesting and candid comments from fellow Singaporeans. One resident quipped, "The ministers have got their Christmas presents — where are ours?" At one point, MOS Gan Siow Huang also stopped by for a chat.
In the bustling Shunfu Market of Singapore, political leaders from different parties unexpectedly crossed paths last weekend. Gan Siow Huang, a member of the People’s Action Party (PAP) and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Industry, encountered PSP secretary-general and former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Leong Mun Wai, along with other PSP members.
Ms Gan, who had been visiting residents in the area, "stopped by for a chat" with the PSP team, as reported by Leong Mun Wai on Monday. The PSP team, which had been present in the area since 2020 and fielded candidates in the Marymount Group Representation Constituency (GRC), engaged with locals about the recent salary increase in political salaries, discussed earlier in Parliament.
One resident joked, "The ministers have got their Christmas presents — where are ours?" Ms Gan, the first woman to hold a general rank in the Singapore Armed Forces before entering politics, won the Marymount SMC seat in the 2020 General Election with a margin of over 55%. She went on to secure almost 71% of the votes in the 2022 General Election against PSP's Jefferey Khoo.
