Sitoh Yih Pin

Sitoh first entered the political arena in 2001 under People's Action Party (PAP), contesting against longtime opposition leader Chiam See Tong who had been the Member of Parliament for Potong Pasir Single Member Constituency since 1984. He failed but garnered a respectable 47.6% of the votes against the veteran. He contested again in 2006 against Chiam but could only get 44.2% of the votes. In 2011, Chiam, who had been representing Potong Pasir for 27 years, left to contest in the Bishan-Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency. As a result, Sitoh contested against Lina Chiam (Lina Loh Woon Lee) who is the wife of Chiam See Tong instead during his third attempt. It was the closest fight of the 2011 election and he won by a mere 114 votes against Lina Chiam, receiving 50.36% of the votes. Sitoh was officially declared as a Member of Parliament on 9 May 2011. He retained his seat in the 2015 elections. In January 2017, Sitoh was co-opted into PAP’s Central Executive Committee.

Sitoh graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Accountancy in 1987. He is registered chartered accountant in Singapore and Australia. Sitoh worked as an audit manager at KPMG before starting his own accounting firm, Nexia TS Public Accounting, in 1993.
