Dr Hamid Razak is one of two new faces in PAP’s West Coast-Jurong West GRC slate

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Hamid Razak has officially thrown his hat into the political ring as one of the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) newest candidates for the upcoming General Election (GE).

His candidacy was confirmed on Tuesday (15 Apr), as part of the party’s West Coast-Jurong West GRC team.

The 39-year-old joins the slate led by National Development Minister Desmond Lee alongside Members of Parliament (MPs) Ang Wei Neng, Shawn Huang, and lawyer Cassandra Lee.

Dr Hamid is one of two fresh faces in the line-up and marks his GE debut after more than eight years of party involvement.

He had already spent close to two years actively walking the ground in Jurong Spring. He was recently spotted at events in Jurong alongside West Coast GRC MP Desmond Lee, and distributing care bags to residents in Gek Poh.
