PAP's 5th slate comprises three new candidates from law, banking, aviation

THE People's Action Party's (PAP) fifth slate of candidates, introduced by PAP organising secretary Grace Fu on Thursday, comprised banker Derrick Goh, Poh Li San, who is in aviation, and lawyer Raymond Lye.

Mr Goh has 27 years of experience in the finance and banking industry and is managing director and head of group audit at DBS Bank.

He spent more than 10 years overseas before returning to Singapore with his family. During his previous leadership stint with POSB, he oversaw the set-up of automated teller machines for the aurally and visually handicapped, as well as specialised banking centres in the heartlands and near foreign workers' dormitories.

Mr Goh said he hopes to further national conversations and provide perspectives on how the government, businesses and individuals can create more synergies to improve the lives of Singaporeans.

Ms Poh is vice-president for Terminal 5 Planning, Changi Airport Group, and was formerly a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot with the Republic of Singapore Air Force. She was also the first female full-time aide-de-camp to the late President S R Nathan.

As part of her volunteer efforts, she started various community initiatives for women as well as helping rental flat residents in Sembawang.

The third candidate, Raymond Lye, previously served as magistrate and deputy registrar of the State Courts before he founded Union Law LLP in 2014. Mr Lye said he firmly believes in meritocracy and wants to ensure Singapore leaves no Singaporean behind.
