Goh Meng Seng, a veteran politician from 2006, is the principal consultant of market research and consultancy company Whiz Research and Consultancy.[1] He is currently the secretary-general of People's Power Party (PPP).
Previously, it was announced in Jun 2023 that PPP was joining hands with Peoples Voice (PV), the Reform Party (RP), and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to form an alliance called People’s Alliance (PAR).[2] By 22 Feb 2025, Goh Meng Seng announced in a Facebook post that his party has withdrawn from the four-party alliance, citing "irreconcilable strategic differences for GE2025" as the reason for the break-up.[3]
