The elder brother of National Solidarity Party secretary-general Goh Meng Seng has passed away.
David Goh Meng Hee died from a heart attack this morning at Changi General Hospital at the age of 56.
Apart from being the elder sibling of NSP chief Goh, he was also the Principal Election Agent for the team that will contest Tampines GRC. The businessman was also a member of the Workers' Party.
A statement from the NSP said that while it mourns the loss, its election campaign will continue and that all party events will continue as planned.
Meng Seng was reportedly very close to his brother but when contacted, he told The Straits Times that "the fight must go on. The reason is that it is his last wish to send me into Parliament. He is the unsung hero of democracy."
Goh is set to contest the Tampines GRC with his NSP team of Gilbert Goh, Raymond Lim, Syafarin Sharif and Reno Fong.
They will be up against the PAP team led by Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan, Masagos Zulkifli, Heng Swee Keat, Irene Ng and last-minute replacement for Steve Tan, Baey Yam Keng.
The NSP is set to hold a public rally at the open field bounded by Geylang East Central and Aljunied Avenue 1 and 2, near Block 118 on Thursday evening between 7to 10pm.
