Following the uproar over People’s Action Party (PAP) ex-candidate Ivan Lim, Shawn Huang is the next PAP candidate to bear the brunt of netizens’ criticisms, with allegations made against him for “changing his surname” in order to contest for the upcoming general election.
Activist Kirsten Han recently shared a screenshot of a post by The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), which introduced Huang as Ingkiriwang Shawn, the parade commander for NDP 2018.
It's been pointed out that Shawn Huang Wei Zhong used to be Shawn Ingkiriwang. It's not clear when exactly he changed his name, although it must have been after 2018. Our Class Notes also referred to him as Shawn Ingkiriwang in May: https://t.co/IuQxgCkAMu pic.twitter.com/cBvLNOIxnj

Another Facebook post also claimed that the 37-year-old changed his surname as he is “ashamed of his Indonesian-Chinese roots”.
