Terence Tan leaves Workers’ Party to focus on family and career

[Huat Zai]

 

 

Terence Tan, a longstanding member of the Workers’ Party, has confirmed his departure from the party as of January this year, citing personal reasons.

Despite his exit, Tan remains a staunch supporter of the party and its principles.

Speaking to 8world News, Tan, who is now 52, explained that his decision to leave the Workers’ Party was driven by a desire to spend more time with his three young children and to focus on his career and explore other opportunities. He made it clear that he had no intentions of joining another political party or returning to the political arena.

Tan highlighted the demanding nature of political and grassroots involvement, especially noting that his wife, He Ting Ru, is a serving member of the Workers’ Party as the Member of Parliament for Seng Kang GRC and her commitments have significantly consumed her time.

He expressed concern that if he were to be elected in the next GE, it would leave little room for both to be present for their children. The next GE, while not due November 2025, is anticipated to be held in the latter part of this year.

Tan remains supportive of the Workers’ Party and its leadership, who have respected his decision to resign and have thanked him for his years of dedication and contribution.

“I have spent more than a decade assisting the Workers’ Party and hope to see new talents rise within the party. The party is in good condition, with many capable members and new faces. At over 50 years old, I wish to pursue other personal interests unrelated to politics,” Tan shared with 8world News.

Tan, who had been volunteering with the Workers’ Party since late 2011, was a candidate for the party in both the 2015 and 2020 General Elections. He contested in the Marine Parade GRC and East Coast GRC, respectively, though he was not elected in either.

 

On the Workers’ Party’s website, Tan once shared his motivation for joining the party, reflecting on his shock upon returning to Singapore and witnessing elderly people scavenging through trash, contradicting the prosperous image of Singapore he had described to friends abroad.

Currently, Tan is a director at Robertson Chambers LLC.
