Ms Carrie Tan, 37, was a headhunter until eight years ago, when she founded a social enterprise to provide skills training for underprivileged women in India.
Daughters of Tomorrow is now a charity which helps women from underprivileged families here, and Ms Tan, its founding executive director, has been headhunted by the People’s Action Party (PAP), raising speculation that she could be fielded at the coming general election.
She was seen accompanying Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam and other Nee Soon GRC MPs in the constituency yesterday, when a small group toured the recently completed HomeTeamNS clubhouse in Khatib.
Ms Tan was in the Young South-east Asian Leaders Initiative where her work was praised by former United States president Barack Obama. A vocal advocate on issues of inequality and for low-income mothers, she is also the second adviser to grassroots organisations in Chong Pang – the first adviser is Mr Shanmugam – and has been seen recently at constituency events in Tampines West with Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli.
Asked about her potential candidacy, Ms Tan declined to comment.
