The daughter of would-be presidential candidate Farid Khan, the 27-year-old became the unwitting centre of the WP Sengkang team following the police reports filed against her. She found herself facing the media and apologising for her remarks, albeit backed by her party chief Pritam Singh. And despite continual pressure to explain her social media posts, Raeesah remained silent for the remainder of the campaign.
What now for the Sengkang MP? The outspoken social activist – along with her teammates – has largely been outshone by Jamus Lim, who is often the target of attacks by the PAP. It has only been five months since the WP team’s victory in Sengkang, but it remains to be seen if she would be an effective advocate for her favoured causes.
