An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Singapore — After working the ground for the past 16 months, Mr Kahar Hassan, previously flagged as a potential People’s Action Party (PAP) candidate for Aljunied GRC, is stepping down as chairman of the PAP’s Kaki Bukit Branch, fuelling speculation he could be redeployed.
Announcing his departure today (July 31) on Facebook, Mr Kahar, 46, said party leaders made the decision last Saturday for him to move out of Kaki Bukit, which is located in the Workers’ Party-held Aljunied GRC. Speaking to TODAY, he said: “It is a party decision but my thoughts goes out to the residents.”
Mr Kahar was tight-lipped about his future plans, stressing that he is leaving up to the Prime Minister to decide. The business development director of an engineering company said that before he was helping out in Kaki Bukit, he had 18 years of grassroots experience in Tampines under former National Development Mah Bow Tan — who is tipped to be retiring in the coming General Election (GE).
