Mr Liang, a managing director at DBS, served as an MP in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC from 2006 to 2020 before moving to Bukit Panjang SMC. He disclosed in 2023 that he had been diagnosed with nose cancer.
On Tuesday, he told reporters that he went for a CT scan recently and his doctor has cleared him.
“I have changed a lot of my lifestyle … I’m living more healthily now,” he said, adding that he watches his diet, exercises more and sets aside time to rest.
“I feel a lot more energetic now … my lifestyle has changed, but my purpose in life, my mission has not.” He told CNA that he is cancer-free.
Bukit Panjang SMC’s boundaries remain unchanged for the upcoming election. As of Feb 1, the ward has 33,566 registered voters, down from 35,437 in 2020.
SDP secretary-general Chee Soon Juan announced last month that Prof Tambyah, an infectious diseases expert, will once again contest the seat, setting up a rematch of the 2020 face-off.
