SENIOR Parliamentary Secretary Teo Ser Luck is the new chairman of the People's Action Party's youth wing.
Mr Teo, 40, who is at the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) and the Ministry of Transport, took on his new role from MCYS Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, 47, at the Young PAP (YP) convention on Sunday.
Mr Teo's appointment makes it the first time the entire leadership of YP is drawn from the post-independence generation.
Assisting him as vice-chairmen are MPs Zaqy Mohamad, 34, and Christopher de Souza, 32.
Mr Teo was previously YP vice-chairman, alongside MP Josephine Teo, 40, who steps down from the post.
On Sunday, he outlined three key objectives for the 22-year-old YP he leads.
They are: Continue to recruit and retain members, develop a strategy to engage youth through new media, and have members aware of current issues so they can explain policies to their peers.
