Could the second time be the charm for Non-Constituency MP (NCMP) Dennis Tan?

Tan, who contested and lost Fengshan SMC in the last general election, has been tipped as the Workers’ Party’s (WP) candidate in Hougang SMC this time around, The Straits Times reported.

The SMC has been helmed by WP’s Png Eng Huat since the 2012 by-election.

Tan, 50, was first introduced as a WP candidate in 2015 when he was fielded in Fengshan SMC.

He narrowly lost to People’s Action Party’s (PAP) Cheryl Chan, obtaining 42.5 per cent of the votes and securing a seat in Parliament as an NCMP.

But in March this year, Fengshan SMC was absorbed into East Coast GRC with the release of new electoral boundaries. 

Tan, who first started volunteering with WP in 2011, has been spotted walking the ground with Png in Hougang.
