PAP co-opts Jeffrey Siow to top leadership body, along with Ng Chee Meng, Sim Ann and Chan Hui Yuh
The four join another 14 members previously elected and co-opted into the CEC
The People's Action Party (PAP) has co-opted four new members to its central executive committee (CEC), including Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow, Labour Chief Ng Chee Meng, Second Minister for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs Sim Ann, and Aljunied GRC candidate Chan Hui Yuh. This marks Siow and Chan's first appointment to the CEC, while Ng and Sim were previously co-opted onto the leadership body in 2024.
The four new members join another 14 members who were previously elected and co-opted into the CEC at the party's internal election on Oct 25. The new CEC, comprising 18 members in total, convened on Nov 5 and allocated its various party offices. No changes were made to the top roles, with Education Minister Desmond Lee continuing as party chair, Masagos Zulkifli as vice-chair, and Chan Chun Sing as assistant secretary-general.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung retained his position as treasurer. However, there were changes among the heads of the party's internal bodies, with David Neo taking over as head of the PAP seniors group and Goh Pei Ming leading the PAP's climate action group. Both appointments are considered advocacy groups within the ruling party.
