Newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) Leon Perera revealed that he is touched by the way his constituents at Aljunied GRC interact with him, in a recent Facebook post.

Oxford-educated Mr Perera was in a senior management position at the Economic Development Board before he co-founded Spire Research and Consulting – a business planning firm where he serves as the chief executive officer. He served as a grassroots activist at the Paya Lebar division of the Workers’ Party-held Aljunied GRC before he was fielded as a WP candidate in the 2015 general election.
