Low Thia Khiang, Nicole Seah & Other WP Members Will Help in Sengkang GRC as 2 MPs Taking Maternity Leave

For those who are hoping to see Low Thia Kiang make a comeback, and Nicole Seah in the position of an MP, I’ve got great news for you.

You’re going to get your wish…sort of.

Low Thia Khiang, Nicole Seah & Other WP Members Will Help in Sengkang GRC as 2 MPs Taking Maternity Leave

Previously, when the young Workers’ Party Sengkang team ran for elections, they positioned themselves as young parents who are in touch with the problems that young families are facing in Singapore today.

One of them, Raeesah Khan, announced her pregnancy on the first day of parliament, making it a “parliament baby”.

Well, turns out that it wasn’t just her.

Sengkang GRC MP He Ting Ru is also expecting a baby and both of them will be going on maternity leave.

That doesn’t mean that the GRC is left to the two remaining team members, including one Jamus Lim oppa, to helm.

On 24 Dec 2020, Opposition Leader Pritam Singh took to his Facebook page to announce the happy news.

While the two ladies give birth safely, Sengkang GRC will also be left in safe hands.

He revealed that WP members will support both MPs’ work in Sengkang GRC on a rotational basis.

Members include:

• Chua Kheng Wee
• Jamus Lim
• Sylvia Lim
• Faisal Manap
• Lee Li Lian
• Gerald Giam
• Png Eng Huat
• Ron Tan
• Nicole Seah
• Terence Tan
• Leon Perera
• Yee Jenn Jong
• Pritam Singh
• Dennis Tan
• Kenneth Foo
• Low Thia Khiang

Basically, the entire Avengers cast lah, including those who went into retirement.

Duties

These members will stand in for He Ting Ru and Raeesah Khan for the weekly Meet-the-People Sessions, house visits and walking the estates, he detailed.

Team WP’s work in Sengkang GRC, he added, will be directed and coordinated by He and Raeesah’s offices respectively, he added.

Netizens’ Reactions

Reactions to Mr Singh’s news were generally well-received on the post, with many pointing out the great teamwork that the Workers’ Party has.

One commented on how heartwarming it is for the two mothers that their team is there for them:

Another netizen pointed out that when you voted for four WP members, you get the full package:

Needless to say, when these two babies are born, they’ll probably be the most beloved kids in Sengkang GRC. Agree?
