Personal details
Party	PAP

Lee Hui Ying (born 5 May 1989) is a Singaporean politician and communications professional. A member of the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP), she has served as a Member of Parliament (MP) representing Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) since May 2025. Prior to entering politics, she held roles in public communications within the Singapore government and later served as Director of Communications at Temasek Foundation.

Career

Lee held diverse communications roles across several Singapore ministries, including:

• Ministry of Health
• Ministry of Transport
• Ministry of Digital Development and Information

She accumulated approximately 10 years in government communications before transitioning to the non-profit sector. Currently, she serves as Director of Communications at Temasek Foundation, where she oversees public and community engagement initiatives.

Grassroots and Community Work

Lee has been an active grassroots volunteer in Nee Soon South for over 15 years. She has held roles in the Youth Executive Committee, Central Youth Council, Citizens’ Consultative Committee, and the Community Club Management Committee. Her community initiatives particularly focus on intergenerational bonding, youth empowerment, and family well-being.

Political career

Lee was introduced as a PAP candidate for Nee Soon GRC on 21 April 2025, as part of a five-member slate led by K. Shanmugam, along with Goh Hanyan, Jackson Lam, and Syed Harun Alhabsyi.

In the 3 May 2025 general election, the PAP team secured a decisive victory in Nee Soon GRC, winning 102,974 votes (73.8%) compared to Red Dot United’s 36,538 votes (26.2%), with an electoral majority of 66,436 votes.

Since then, Lee has served as the MP for the Nee Soon South ward within the GRC, focusing on grassroots outreach and community communication initiatives.

Parliamentary Work

As of mid-2025, Lee Hui Ying has not been appointed to any parliamentary select committees—a standard status for first-term MPs. Instead, her legislative and constituency efforts are focused on:

• Empowering constituents: Actively organizing Meet‑the‑People Sessions and estate walkabouts to stay responsive to the concerns of seniors, youth, and families
• Strengthening communication: Utilizing her background in public messaging to improve resident-awareness of government policies and community programs
• Maintaining ground engagement: Remaining present at community events, engaging directly with residents, and ensuring ongoing support and feedback loops.

Controversy

Unlicensed Fund Management (2022)

In July 2022, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) publicly disclosed that Lee Hui Ying had been convicted under Section 82(1) of the Securities and Futures Act for carrying on fund management activities without a valid Capital Markets Services (CMS) licence. The case concerned transactions she facilitated between December 2017 and June 2022 for six individuals, involving leveraged foreign exchange and futures trades.

Lee pleaded guilty to the charge and received a fine of S$20,000. Official MAS records confirmed that no civil suits or investor losses were reported in connection with the matter.
