Timeline
On 23 April 2018, Koh joined the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and was appointed as NTUC's Deputy Secretary-General.
In 2015, Koh contested in the general elections as a part of the six-member PAP team in Ang Mo Kio GRC in which the team won and Koh was elected into parliament.
On 15 August 2015, the People's Action Party (PAP) announced that Koh would be part of a six-member PAP team contesting in Ang Mo Kio GRC led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in the 2015 general election. Following the results of the election, Koh was elected into Parliament when the six-member PAP team won and clinched 78.64% of the electorate's valid votes in the constituency.
Koh officially entered Singapore politics in January 2013, when he contested in his first parliamentary election at the Punggol East SMC by-election as the PAP's candidate. He was defeated by the candidate of the Workers' Party, Lee Li Lian.
On polling day on 26 January 2013, Koh was defeated by Lee. He garnered 12,856 votes (43.71%) compared to Lee's 16,038 votes (54.52%). Kenneth Jeyaretnam took 353 votes (1.20%), with Desmond Lim taking 168 votes (0.57%).
The by-election was triggered by the resignation of the previous Member of Parliament for the ward, the PAP's Michael Palmer (who served as the Speaker of Parliament from 2011 to 2012), who stepped down after he revealed that he had an extra-marital affair.
In the by-election, Koh faced two candidates who had stood against Palmer in the 2011 general election – Lee Li Lian of the Workers' Party (WP) (who won 41.01% of the votes in the constituency in 2011) and Desmond Lim of the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) (who won 4.45% of the votes in 2011). A fourth candidate, Kenneth Jeyaretnam of the Reform Party (RP), also joined the by-election contest, making it a four-way fight.
Koh had his early education at the now-defunct MacRitchie Primary School, before going on to study at Maris Stella High School and Hwa Chong Junior College. He then studied medicine at the National University of Singapore, graduating with an MBBS degree in 1996. He subsequently obtained an MMed (Surgery) from the National University of Singapore as well as fellowships from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the Academy of Medicine in Singapore. He also received Health Manpower Development Programme Scholarships from Singapore's Ministry of Health for advanced training in the surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases in Edinburgh and at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Koh Poh Koon (simplified Chinese: 许宝琨 ; traditional Chinese: 許寶琨 ; pinyin: Xǔ Bǎokūn , born 16 March 1972) is a Singaporean politician and colorectal surgeon. A member of the governing People's Action Party, Koh has been serving as a Member of Parliament (MP) since September 2015, representing Ang Mo Kio GRC. Since January 2016, he is also a Minister of State in the Ministry of National Development and the Ministry of Trade and Industry. He is also the current Deputy Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress.
