Battery firm boss says he has many ideas; COO of moving firm hopes to 'move lives'
Two men were introduced as new faces for Sembawang GRC by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on March 29 ahead of an upcoming general election.
Mr Gabriel Lam, chief operating officer of moving company Shalom International Movers, and Mr Ng Shi Xuan, director of battery company Powermark Battery and Hardware, were introduced by Mr Ong as likely candidates in the group representation constituency.
Mr Ong, who is the anchor minister for Sembawang GRC, attended the March 29 launch of a community initiative to help seniors in Bukit Canberra with Mr Lam and Mr Ng. He said the two men are dynamic, enterprising, and very good people to join the volunteer force in the constituency and contribute to the community.
Referring to them as a "dynamic duo", Mr Ong said both men are bosses of small and medium-sized enterprises that operate in competitive industries.
"They must create business opportunities, they must fight competition, win customers, take care of their workers," he added.
Speaking at the event, Mr Ng, 35, said he has many ideas and is excited to get to know residents.
