Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng was at a walkabout at Eunos Crescent Market and Food Centre on March 30, accompanied by a potential new face, business development director Diana Pang.

Dr Tan, an MP for Marine Parade GRC, introduced Ms Pang to The Straits Times as a long-time volunteer in next-door East Coast GRC.

Ms Pang, 51, chairs both the Fengshan Women's Executive Committee and the People's Association Women's Integration Network (WIN) Council. She leads initiatives like the WIN Caregivers Network providing support for caregivers, and fosters community building and volunteerism among women from diverse backgrounds.

Professionally, Ms Pang is a business development director with 19 years of experience in audit, tax and business advisory, according to a description on the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations' (SCWO) website. A serial entrepreneur, she is also an active board member of the SCWO, serving as its second vice-president.

Asked why she was considering entering politics, Ms Pang said she wants to contribute to making a Singapore "where family thrives, and we can build trust and resolve with our heart and passion".

If given a chance, she is "here to serve the country anywhere and everywhere", she added.
