One of the doyens of Lianhe Zaobao, Ho Sheo Be, scored a scoop.
In a Lianhe Zaobao article published three days ago, the senior political correspondent noticed a new face that emerged from the walkabouts at Tanjong Pagar GRC.
Joan Pereira’s her name and she is affectionately known as “Indranee’s sister” due to her height and hairstyle.
If you can recall, five-member Tanjong Pagar GRC now have four parliamentarians after the passing of founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Indranee told Channel NewsAsia that she “has begun assisting Mr Lee” in his ward after 2011, including his Meet-the-People sessions and his walkabouts.
Enter “Indranee’s sister” to fill in the gap.
The 47-year old former Director (Family Life & Active Ageing) at the People’s Association had been seen walking the ground with Indranee as long as a year ago.
Ho also observed that Pereira had been actively involved in the wellness programme in Tanjong Pagar GRC, encouraging the elderly to be involved in various activities.
And kudos to Ho, who even found out that Pereira has joined Temasek Cares to assist the General Manager there, heightening the expectation that the former public servant would probably be a woman in white. This is because one cannot be a public servant if he or she wants to enter politics.
According to Ho, Pereira declined comment on whether she would participate in the next General Election (GE).
Try to spot the “two Indranees” from these photos that we found from the Senior Minister of State’s Facebook page:
