SINGAPORE - Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan looks set to lead a team to contest the Holland-Bukit Timah group representation constituency, his first contest since sitting out the last two polls due to bankruptcy.

His four-member team in the group representation constituency (GRC) is likely to comprise National University of Singapore Yong Yoo Lin School of Medicine professor Paul Tambyah, 50, compliance auditor Sidek Mallek, 55, and healthcare administrator Chong Wai Fung, 45.

Likely standing in Bukit Panjang single-member constituency (SMC) is former Navy staff sergeant Khung Wai Yeen, 34, who is at the same nomination centre at Assumption Pathway School.
