PSP's A-team sets up rematch with PAP in West Coast-Jurong West

Improvement of facilities, jobs and work-life balance are on the agenda, says party chief

The opposition PSP will field its three top leaders in the newly formed West Coast-Jurong West GRC for the upcoming general election.

It is the second time that PSP chairman Tan Cheng Bock, 84, party chief Leong Mun Wai, 65, and vice-chair Hazel Poa, 54, will stake a claim in the constituency since the 2020 General Election.

The three were part of the PSP team that lost narrowly in the constituency during GE2020, with the opposition party claiming 48.32 per cent of the vote against the PAP team's 51.68 per cent.

Joining them in the 2025 polls are new faces Mr Sumarleki Amjah, 53, and Mr Sani Ismail, 49. Both have been seen on the ground with the party in the lead-up to the election.

The party will also be fielding Ms Stephanie Tan, 37, in Pioneer SMC, which the PSP also contested in GE2020. She will likely face off against incumbent Labour MP Patrick Tay from the PAP.

Mr Sani is an in-house legal counsel and Mr Sumarleki, a former WP volunteer, is head of packaged food and business development at food and beverage company Del Monte Pacific. Ms Tan is a full-time homemaker with a law degree from the National University of Singapore.

The PSP candidates for West Coast-Jurong West GRC and Pioneer SMC were announced by Dr Tan during a media event held at Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre on April 20.

Mr Leong said the battle for West Coast-Jurong West GRC will be an "uphill task". He added: "We are ready to serve the residents of West Coast, Jurong West and Pioneer as a team."
