Will there be more women contesting in the upcoming Singapore general election?
Although the polls have not been called, speculation has been rife over the candidates that will be fielded in the next election. And a fair number of names thrown up have been of women.
Mariam Jaafar, 43, a partner and managing director at Boston Consulting Group in Singapore, has been rumoured to be a possible candidate to take over the reigns from MP Amrin Amin in his Woodlands ward.
Gan Siow Huang, 45, who reportedly resigned from her position in the SAF, set tongues wagging when she was spotted alongside Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen at a Bishan-Toa Payoh group representation constituency (GRC) walkabout in March.
Raeesah Khan, 26, has also been earmarked as one to watch, after she was spotlighted on Workers’ Party (WP) deputy treasurer Lee Li Lian’s Facebook page in April.
