Mr Shahrin was appointed head of SingPost’s Singapore business in May 2024. Before that, he was managing director of SMRT’s Thomson-East Coast Line and senior vice president of strategic relations at SMRT Corporation.
“We thank Shahrin for his contribution to SingPost during his time and wish him well in his future endeavours,” SingPost said on Monday.
Mr Shahrin has been active in West Coast GRC.
He is a district representative in the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) Malay Affairs Bureau, which was formed in 1954 to represent the views of the Malay-Muslim community to the party leadership.
He is also chairman of the Ayer Rajah Community Club’s Malay Activity Executive Committee.
West Coast GRC is currently a five-member GRC.
It was helmed by former Transport Minister S Iswaran until he resigned from the PAP in January 2024 amid criminal charges of corruption and obtaining valuables as a public servant. He was sentenced to 12 months in jail last October.
The remaining West Coast GRC Members of Parliament are Minister for National Development Desmond Lee, Foo Mee Har, Ang Wei Neng and Rachel Ong.
Singapore must hold a general election by November, with political analysts expecting polls to be called as early as April.
In the last General Election in 2020, the PAP narrowly won West Coast with 51.7 per cent of the vote against a team from the Progress Singapore Party that comprised Tan Cheng Bock, Leong Mun Wai, Hazel Poa, Nadarajah Loganathan and Jeffrey Khoo.
Mr Leong and Ms Poa went on to become Non-Constituency MPs – positions that are offered to the best losers in a general election as part of a scheme to ensure a minimum number of opposition members in parliament.
