SINGAPORE — Three new faces who spoke at the People's Action Party (PAP) convention on Sunday (Nov 5) made a call for the party to embrace diversity and be more inclusive as differences in backgrounds, experiences and perspectives threaten to divide society.

New faces who spoke at past PAP conventions have typically gone on to become potential General Election candidates for the party. To this end, he suggested three points he summarised as"ABC": Appreciating diversity, building inclusivity, and collaborative decision-making.“Look around us today; we can see party activists of various, diverse backgrounds, experiences and even perspectives. This diversity extends to the varied experiences that each of us brings to the party,” said the father of three who has been a party member since 2017.
“These conversations may be difficult but it's important because having these difficult conversations will allow us to be a more inclusive party and society at large,” he added. Becoming the organising secretary of the Young PAP allows her to work with people who share a common goal, the 36-year-old said.
