  • Chen Show Mao (Chinese: 陈硕茂; pinyin: Chén Shuòmào; born 6 February 1961) is a Singaporean politician. A graduate of Harvard, Oxford and Stanford, Chen was formerly a corporate lawyer at Davis Polk & Wardwell. He is a member of the opposition Workers' Party and had been a Member of Parliament representing the Paya Lebar ward of Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC) from 2011 to 2020. He made his political debut in the 2011 general election when he joined a five-member Workers' Party team contesting in Aljunied GRC against a five-member team from the governing People's Action Party (PAP). The Workers' Party team won with 54.72% of the vote against the PAP team, marking the first time in Singapore's electoral history an opposition party had won an election in a GRC. Chen was elected to Parliament for a second term after the Workers' Party team won the 2015 general election in Aljunied GRC again with 50.96% of the vote against the PAP team. Chen stepped down as the MP for Aljunied GRC prior to the 2020 general election, although he remains active in politics. (en)
  • 陳碩茂(Chen Show Mao,1961年2月6日-),新加坡律師與政治人物。生於臺灣屏東縣,1972年11歲時隨家移居新加坡,25歲時成為新加坡公民。2011年5月7日,代表反對黨新加坡工人黨與該黨主席國會議員林瑞蓮和秘書長國會議員劉程強等五人候選團隊於阿裕尼集選區參加國會大選,以54.71%得票率,擊敗得票率45.29%的執政黨人民行動黨候選人、由外交部長楊榮文領軍的團隊(包括總理公署部長及外交部高級政務部長等人)。 這是新加坡反對黨首次攻下集選區議席,並使兩位現居重要職務的內閣部長落選,加上歷史新高的得票率與席次,從此掀開新加坡政黨政治競爭史的新頁。陳碩茂一度被反对党支持者谣传为是自新加坡獨立後首位非出生於新加坡的反對黨國會議員,事实上出生于斯里兰卡的约舒亚·本杰明·惹耶勒南不仅来自境外,而且是新加坡独立以来第一位反对党的国会议员。他與另兩位同選區同仁也成為第一批首次參選即當選的反對黨國會議員。 (zh)

  • Certainly, my friends in the PAP are in a better position to formulate policy and implement policy in the short term, and therefore, have a greater impact on people's life, people's livelihood over the short term. But I think what I am doing is just as important. Perhaps more important over the long term and that is to help build up a credible opposition that in time is capable to form an alternative government. (en)
