| THE new slate of Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs) to be drawn up later this year will comprise largely new faces, as more than half of the current nine say they will not seek another term. Only two - Mr Siew Kum Hong and Mr Gautam Banerjee - will re-apply while another two remain undecided.
Mr Siew, 34, a corporate counsel, said if he gets a new term, he will focus on help for needy Singaporeans, civil liberties and economic issues, among others. Mr Banerjee, 54, executive chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers, wants to contribute to the ongoing discussions on the economy and 'how we restore Singapore's competitiveness in the wake of the global economic crisis'.
