The 38-year-old former civil servant was one of eight new PAP faces introduced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in a video released last Saturday. He has been spotted at events in Jalan Besar this month and recently assumed the role of deputy group managing director at Commonwealth Capital Group.
Prior to this, Mr Loh served as director of security and resilience programmes at the Ministry of Finance and was also the Budget director for 2024 and 2025. He also oversaw the development of schemes such as the CDC vouchers.
His earlier roles include senior positions at the Economic Development Board, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of Education.
On Wednesday, Mr Loh said Whampoa was beautiful today due to Mr Heng’s hard work and he hopes to “continue that legacy of service”.
He added he believes his experience both in the civil service and the private sector will allow him to contribute practical ideas in parliament.
“I have come forward as part of the new generation joining politics, to serve and to answer the call to make the Singapore of the future better than the Singapore today,” he said.
Mr Loh, a father of four children all aged below 12, said he can empathise with the stressors facing young families.
“As a parent myself, balancing work, life, family commitments, is a constant struggle. These are some of the issues that I hope to voice out in parliament,” he said.
