Hazel Poa seen at SDP walkabout

After keeping quiet for over a week since she resigned from the National Solidarity Party (NSP), Ms Hazel Poa was spotted at a walkabout organised by the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) yesterday.

After keeping quiet for over a week since she resigned from the National Solidarity Party (NSP), Ms Hazel Poa was spotted at a walkabout organised by the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) yesterday.

Ms Poa, clad in the SDP’s red shirt, was seen helping to give out flyers, and was also captured in a group shot of the party taken at Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre. When contacted, a spokesperson for the SDP said Ms Poa was a volunteer, and yesterday was the first time she was helping out the party. Ms Poa could not be reached for comment.

The SDP introduced its full slate of 11 candidates at a series of press conferences last week, among them party chief Chee Soon Juan. The party plans to contest Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, and Yuhua SMC.

Ms Poa left the NSP earlier this month, citing a disagreement with the NSP’s decision to do an about-turn and contest in MacPherson. Touted as a star candidate for the NSP in the 2011 General Election, Ms Poa was appointed the party’s secretary-general that year, making her the first female secretary-general of a political party here.

She resigned two years later citing health reasons, but reprised her old role on an interim basis in June after Mr Tan Lam Siong resigned as secretary-general after only five months in the post.
