Ex-NMP Raj Joshua Thomas not running in coming election

Lawyer Raj Joshua Thomas, who resigned as Nominated MP in February and joined the PAP, said he will not be standing in the coming general election.

Writing on social media platforms LinkedIn and Facebook, he said much has been said since he stepped down as an NMP, and he has listened to these views.

Mr Thomas said: "I acknowledge that many of them are fair, even if I do not agree with all of them.

"I will not be running in the upcoming general election. I have instead been spending time on the ground, and would like to earn my stripes first."
