SINGAPORE - Criminal lawyer Marshall Lim will contest Hougang SMC for the PAP at the upcoming general election.

Mr Lim, 38 , was officially introduced to the media on April 13 as an electoral candidate for the ruling party in the opposition WP’s stronghold.

“It has been a privilege to serve Singapore and Singaporeans as a lawyer in private practice and as a public servant.

“I now ask Singaporeans and especially our Hougang residents to give me an opportunity to fight for you, your family and our community as your leader,” he told reporters.

While the WP have yet to announce their slate of candidates for the 2025 polls, Mr Lim will likely face off against incumbent MP and shipping lawyer Dennis Tan, 54, who retained the Hougang seat for the opposition party in 2020 with 61.21 per cent of the vote.
