Transport Ministry director resigns to run in election

straitstimes.com

A director at Singapore's Transport Ministry, Mr. Foo Cexiang, has resigned to run in the upcoming general election. His last day is April 1. He has worked in the ministry for over a decade, focusing on private and future mobility. This resignation follows that of Jasmin Lau, deputy secretary (policy) at the Ministry of Health, who also steps down on April 1. She has been involved in healthcare finance and regulation since returning to the ministry in 2021. Both resignations are part of a trend as public servants leave their roles ahead of the general election, expected by mid-year. This practice allows them to participate in political activities.
