The People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) has introduced two new faces as its candidates for the upcoming general election on May 3.
The People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) has introduced two new faces as its candidates for the upcoming general election on May 3. They are Ms Sarina Abu Hassan, 54, a nurse at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, and Mr Nadarajan Selbamani, 59, the director of a private school.
PAR's secretary-general Lim Tean introduced the candidates to the media during a walkabout at the Jalan Batu Market and Food Centre off Mountbatten Road on April 20.
"I will not tell you where they will be standing, because that is pending finalisation," he said.
Ms Sarina has been in the nursing profession for 35 years. She said she joined PSP about five years ago and left to join PAR recently, as she is aligned with PAR's values.
She hopes to campaign for a better healthcare system and free food for school-going children.
"I hope I can impart my knowledge and skills I have gathered over the years with other political parties," she added.
