Dr Lam held over from the previous team while the other two Chairpersons — as well as Mr Ling — joined the Sengkang GRC team in 2022.

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.

He is currently a director at Temus, a start-up established by Temasek. There, he heads strategic communication, public affairs, and corporate marketing.

The 40-year-old also holds the position of Alumni Philanthropy Council member at Singapore Management University (SMU). On top of that, he is an Advisory Board Member at a school in the Singapore University of Social Sciences.
