Commercial banker Mr Prabu, 37, was previously in the Reform Party (RP) before moving to the Peoples Voice (PV).
PAR consists of three parties – RP, PV and the Democratic Progressive Party.
Five years ago, Mr Prabu was part of the PV team that lost in a three-cornered fight in Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency (GRC), gaining 12.17 per cent of the votes.
The People’s Action Party (PAP) team, led by Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, won the constituency with 64.16 per cent of the votes. The Singapore Democratic Alliance took 23.67 per cent of the votes.
Mr Prabu said: “It is responsible to vote for a … plurality of voices in parliament and our country structure is in such we could hold the government accountable during the campaign period, but if we are not elected into parliament, we can’t hold them accountable … throughout the five years.”
Businessman Mr Kumar is also not new to elections.
Mr Kumar stood in West Coast GRC under RP’s banner in 2011, and was RP’s candidate in Radin Mas Single Member Constituency (SMC) in 2015. In 2020, he again stood in Radin Mas as a member of RP. He lost all three elections.
He said the cost of living should be reduced, and asked if the government could bring the GST down to 1 per cent.
