Two new CEC members made office-holders

New Secretary-General
Back in 2020, Francis Yuen took over Leong Mun Wai as the party's Assistant Secretary-General.
Yuen, the erstwhile Air Force colonel, contested the 2020 general election in Chua Chu Kang GRC, against a team led by Health Minister Gan Kim Yong.
His team garnered around 41 per cent of the vote.
Yuen previously explained that party and parliamentary responsibilities would be separated.
Leong and Poa: Running Parliamentary Secretariat
Leong Mun Wai and Hazel Poa are both Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs).
They were both part of Tan Cheng Bock's 2020 general election team in West Coast GRC that garnered about 48 per cent of the vote.
In August 2020, PSP announced that both Leong and Poa were given appointments as Parliament Secretariat.
Speaking to Mothership, PSP CEC member Kumaran Pillai clarified Leong and Poa's positions:
"Same as before, they are developing policy positions for the (party) and running the parliamentary secretariat in PSP."
