PSP to field former West Coast A-team member in Marymount

PSP to field former West Coast A-team member in Marymount

The opposition PSP will return to contest in Marymount and Kebun Baru, fielding candidates with previous election experience in the two single-member constituencies.

The party will be fielding Mr Jeffrey Khoo, 56, who was a member of the PSP's best performing team in the 2020 polls, in Marymount SMC.

Former National Solidarity Party (NSP) member Tony Tan, 55, will be standing in Kebun Baru SMC under the PSP banner.

Speaking to reporters at Bishan North Shopping Mall on April 17, Mr Khoo, chief executive of a regional risk consulting firm, said that the party was familiar with Marymount, having contested there in the previous polls.

"We have been here before. Dr Ang was here for a period of time, and we have done quite a few market visits. I have a lot of friends that stay here. So I would say that we understand the place well," he said, referring to the party's former Marymount candidate Ang Yong Guan, who lost to PAP's Gan Siow Huang in the 2020 election.

Dr Ang garnered 44.96 per cent of the vote share, while Ms Gan won with 55.04 per cent. Of the five SMCs that the PSP contested and lost in GE2020, the party performed best in Marymount. But following a suspension of his medical licence, Dr Ang, a psychiatrist, said in early 2025 that he will not participate in the upcoming election.

On his candidacy in Marymount SMC, Mr Khoo said he would tackle the perennial issues of cost of living, education and jobs, which are concerns that have been voiced by Singaporeans across constituencies.
