A 2017 analysis by The New York Times showed that sons, on average, are 2.7 times more likely than the rest of the population to have the same job as their fathers.

The statistics seem to apply to some of our politicians too, whose career choices are likely inspired by their dads, who previously took on significant roles in shaping Singapore.

As the general election (GE) to elect members for the 14th Parliament of Singapore looms, what many may not know is that among the familiar faces, some have carved out a career in the realm of politics following in their father’s (or even spouse’s) footsteps.

Here’s a look at who they are:

Lee Hsien Loong (Prime Minister)

Father: Lee Kuan Yew (Former Prime Minister)
