On the sidelines of a porridge distribution event at Bukit Batok East Point on March 15, RDU secretary-general Ravi Philemon also revealed a new face to the media – tech start-up business director Pang Heng Chuan.

The area is part of the reconfigured Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC, which is one of the six constituencies that the opposition party intends to contest in the general election.

Mr Philemon introduced Mr Pang as one of the architects of the RDU's economic proposals, and called the RDU central executive council member "a clear thinker, committed leader and a compassionate person".

Mr Pang was part of a group of about 15 RDU members and volunteers who gave out porridge and interacted with residents for about an hour. The group included former RDU candidate for Jurong GRC and author Liyana Dhamirah.
