SINGAPORE – The PAP’s candidate for Mountbatten SMC, Ms Gho Sze Kee, has refuted comments by opposition leader Lim Tean that she was “parachuted” into the area, saying that she has been walking the ground for the past 10 months.

“Facebook pictures don’t lie. I’ve been featured on Mr Lim Biow Chuan’s Facebook page for the past 10 months,” said Ms Gho on April 21.

Mr Lim Biow Chuan is the incumbent Mountbatten MP, stepping down after nearly two decades of service.

Ms Gho, a maritime lawyer, told The Straits Times : “In fact, I started in July 2024, so maybe (Mr Lim Tean) didn’t notice that I was on the ground since then.
