Goh Meng Seng is a Singaporean politician who is a member of the opposition People's Power Party.
Political career
Goh contested in the 2006 general election with the Workers' Party in the Aljunied GRC as one of 5 team members. The team garnered 43.9% of the votes, finished as one of the top three non-ruling party district performers and was eligible for a Non-constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) position.
Goh left the Workers' Party (WP) in 2006 after the election due to "some Internet postings which had tarnished the WP's reputation" despite being a member of the central executive committee (CEC) and a member of the "A team" of the Workers' Party. He joined the National Solidarity Party and became its secretary-general. Goh contested in the 2011 general election in the five-man Tampines GRC as team leader against the Mah Bow Tan, receiving 42.78% of the votes. Though his team lost, they improved significantly by 11.29% relative to the Singapore Democratic Alliance team that contested in the same district and finished with 31.49% of the votes against Mah in the 2006 general election.
Goh stepped down from his post as secretary-general of NSP after the 2011 election in June 2011 "for a breather and to take stock of his future", went into partisan political sabbatical to help presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian in his bid for presidency. Goh was not elected into NSP's 14th central executive committee thereafter. Goh Meng Seng left NSP after the 2011 election.
