GE2025 Hot Spots: With PAP facing a Tan Chuan-Jin-sized hole in its line-up, Marine Parade GRC could be the contest to watch
Former Marine Parade GRC MP Tan Chuan-Jin’s sudden resignation over an extramarital affair has left a significant gap in the constituency, a long-time stronghold of the People’s Action Party. As the next election looms, his absence, coupled with the emergence of fresh faces in the scene, has made the GRC a battleground to watch.
Mr Goh, who was Singapore's second prime minister from 1990 to 2004, had represented Marine Parade since 1976 when it was a Single-Member Constituency (SMC) and he won the constituency through 11 elections, including the 1992 by-election.
