SINGAPORE: Social entrepreneur Cai Yinzhou was among the new faces spotted in a video posted on Facebook by the People's Action Party (PAP) and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Wednesday (Apr 16).
Mr Cai also put up a picture of himself on his Facebook page, wearing the PAP badge.
"Responding to PM Lawrence Wong's call for young people to serve. Here I am, Singapore," he wrote.
Besides Mr Cai, other people featured in the video on Mr Wong and PAP's pages are former army chief David Neo and Assistant Professor Charlene Chen, who are set to be part of the party's slate in Tampines GRC.
Former Nominated Member of Parliament Syed Harun Alhabsyi was also spotted in the video. The consultant psychiatrist has been seen meeting residents in Nee Soon with the PAP team, and told CNA last Friday that he is a potential candidate.
CNA has contacted Mr Cai for more information.
Mr Cai is a long-time Geylang resident who founded Geylang Adventures, which organises tours around the neighbourhood.
According to his Linkedin page, he is also the executive director of the Chinatown Heritage Centre.
His introduction by the PAP comes after lawyer Kawal Pal Singh on Wednesday said he would not be contesting in the upcoming eleciton, citing his desire to focus on work-life balance.
Mr Singh had previously been spotted with the PAP team during a walkabout in Bishan-Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency (GRC).
The 41-year-old, who is the nephew of former PAP MP Inderjit Singh, said he would continue to support the party in "other meaningful ways".
