The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) announced on Tuesday that Mr Leong Mun Wai has been appointed as the party’s Secretary General, succeeding Mr Francis Yuen, who did not contest in the Central Executive Committee (CEC) election.
Mr Leong, who is currently a Non-constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP), will be supported by Nadarajah Loganathan as the First Assistant Secretary-General and Dr Ang Yong Guan as the Second Assistant Secretary-General.
PSP’s Chairman, Mr Tan Cheng Bock, will remain in his position, and Ms Hazel Poa, who is also a NCMP, has been appointed as Vice-chairman.
In the party’s press release, Dr Tan said, “With nine returned and five new CEC members, we have a good mix of continuity and fresh minds to bring the party forward,” while Mr Leong expressed his excitement in leading the party into the next General Election and building on Francis Yuen’s work.
The CEC election also saw two additional members co-opted, Lim Cher Hong and Muhammad Taufik Bin Supan, PSP’s candidates for Pioneer SMC and Nee Soon GRC, respectively.
Together with the 12 members elected on March 26th, 2023, PSP’s new CEC now has a total of 14 members.
