Background:
Redzwan is an Engineer. He is a member of both Engineers Australia and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, UK.
He attended Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Pasir Ris Secondary School and Griffiths Primary School before he went to university in Australia. As a student, Redzwan was active in various sports, cultural and uniformed organisations. He was the Vice-captain for his polytechnic’s sepak takraw team in 2004
Redzwan is the only son in the family. He has two sisters. He grew up in the east. In the past, Redzwan’s grandfather was a Senior UMNO member in Singapore, and was active in politics during the 1950s.
As a student, Redzwan had the opportunity to observe the 2007 Australian Federal Elections in which the incumbent Coalition government was defeated. He enjoyed watching the parliamentary debates. This sparked his interest further, and made him realise how democracy could work, and how the vote of the people could bring about changes to the government. Upon his return to Singapore, Redzwan saw changes in Singapore, and felt that the current policies could be improved. They include bread and butter issues such as cost of living and housing. Recalling his Australian experience, Redzwan decided to join WP after he realized that a good parliamentary system should be one which allows for healthy debate between two or more parties so that there is proper scrutiny before any bills are passed.
In 2013, Redzwan was elected as a Youth Wing Exco member. Since 2011, Redzwan has been active with the party as well as a grassroots volunteer serving residents in Aljunied GRC.
