Dr Syed Harun Alhabsyi, a psychiatrist and former Nominated Member of Parliament, has been increasingly visible in Nee Soon GRC, often appearing alongside Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam.
He was present with Nee Soon MPs when Mr Shanmugam gave media interviews last Thursday and on Monday. The minister told reporters that Dr Harun has been “walking the ground very actively”.
Dr Harun said: “In recent weeks, I have been at Nee Soon to be able to see some of the challenges, as well as learn from minister, (Minister of State) Faishal as well as the other MPs on some of the issues in the community.”
The 39-year-old is the medical director of The Starfish Clinic of Psychiatry & Mental Wellness. He stepped down from his NMP role in February, amid speculation about his candidacy under the PAP banner.
