A third new face has been seen on the ground with the People's Action Party (PAP) in West Coast GRC - trade unionist Natasha Choy.

Ms Choy has since mid-February been seen at community events with West Coast GRC MP Foo Mee Har.

Also pictured with Ms Foo since late 2024 is Ms Valerie Lee, Sembcorp's head of corporate affairs for Singapore and South-east Asia.

They join entrepreneur Chua Wei-Shan as new faces seen with the constituency's sitting MPs. Ms Chua was appointed acting branch chairman in former transport minister S. Iswaran's West Coast ward after he resigned in January 2024 following a corruption probe.

Iswaran's successor in the group representation constituency remains unclear. The three women do not fulfil the GRC's ethnic requirements, where the minority seat is allocated to the Indian community.

Ms Foo, who has been an MP in the GRC since 2011, told The Sunday Times: "Both Valerie and Natasha are volunteering and serving residents at West Coast."

She did not comment on whether the pair are potential candidates for the ruling party.
