Health Minister Ong Ye Kung leads the People’s Action Party (PAP) team. He is joined by Mr Vikram Nair, Ms Mariam Jaafar and two newcomers – Mr Ng Shi Xuan and Mr Gabriel Lam.
Taking on the incumbent PAP is the SDP team – vice-chairman Bryan Lim, treasurer Surayah Akbar, deputy head of policy James Gomez, as well as members Mr Damanhuri Abas and Mr Alfred Tan.
