Ahmad Firdaus Daud to take on grassroots duties in Kembangan

AI-summarized · Neutrality-checked

On September 1, Ahmad Firdaus Daud was appointed as the second adviser to grassroots organisations in the Kembangan ward, following the July 20 resignation of Associate Professor Faishal Ibrahim. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong stated that Faishal's resignation stemmed from interactions with a woman that fell short of the standards required of an MP and political office holder. Mr. Firdaus, a lawyer and PAP member since 2016 who was prepared to run in the previous General Election, will join the Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC team led by Speaker of Parliament Seah Kian Peng. He will initially hold the new role alongside his existing position in Punggol before transitioning to focus exclusively on Kembangan.

Consequences

Mr. Firdaus is expected to relinquish his current second adviser role in Punggol to concentrate his efforts on the Kembangan ward. His appointment serves to strengthen the Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC team following the vacancy left by the departure of Associate Professor Faishal.
