General Election 2020 will be Dr Ang Yong Guan’s third outing as an election candidate. And the party that he represents will be the third party that he is campaigning under.
Ang was officially revealed as one of Progress Singapore Party’s (PSP) candidates for the upcoming election at the party’s press conference held on Tuesday (June 23).
Ang first stood for election in 2011 as a member of the Singapore Democratic Party. In 2014, he became a founding member and chairman of the Singaporeans First (SingFirst) party, and was a candidate in the 2015 election.
Hence, people took a double-take when he made his first appearance as a PSP member in April. He has since been seen accompanying Dr Tan Cheng Bock and other PSP party members on walkabouts around Singapore.
Ang shared that his plunge into local politics was motivated by his dissatisfaction with the direction that the People’s Action Party (PAP) was heading, “especially with the high ministerial pay”.
Prior to standing for election, Ang was a community leader at Kembangan constituency, helping then-PAP MP George Yeo.
