The PAP stated that Mr Loh served actively in the party since 2015, including as a council member for the PAP Policy Forum.
They appraised him as someone who’s “deeply committed to a meritocratic society that values diverse abilities and offers second chances”. In 2022, he and others spearheaded a digital career conversion programme to help transition people into tech careers, even without IT experience.
