In the 2011 general election, Tin Pei Ling — now Member of Parliament for MacPherson SMC — was the youngest candidate at age 28 to be fielded by the People’s Action Party (PAP). This year, the honour could go to Nadia Ahmad Samdin.
This morning (June 24), Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat introduced the 30-year-old lawyer as one of the party’s new candidates alongside Edward Chia Bing Hui, Ivan Lim Shaw Chuan, and Desmond Tan Kok Ming.
Belying her youth is her lengthy experience in community service — the TSMP Law Corporation Associate Director has been volunteering for various causes since the age of 15, and she’s been active in the Cheng San-Seletar ward in Ang Mo Kio GRC.
It was not stated where she will be contesting in in the upcoming general election, and with whom.
Interestingly enough, Nadia has also been on the other side of the panel as a current affairs producer with CNA.
Here’s a CNA video from 2016 featuring Nadia reflecting on the legacy of founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
