Goh Meng Seng, a veteran politician who began his political career from 2001 when he joined WP[1], is the principal consultant of market research and consultancy company Whiz Research and Consultancy.[2] 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called People’s Alliance (PAR).[3] By 22 Feb 2025, Goh Meng Seng announced in a Facebook post that his party has withdrawn from the four-party alliance, citing "irreconcilable strategic differences for GE2025" as the reason for the break-up.[4]


In 2019, after the High Court found WP's MPs for Aljunied GRC, Pritam Singh, Sylvia Lim and Low Thia Khiang liable for damages against Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) and the Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council (PRPTC), he declared in a FB post “I cannot support’ WP’s incompetency and mismanagement in the whole TC saga. All politics boils down to one simple aim, good governance for our country, not just our TC. Good Governance needs both competency as well as proper checks and balances. Both are lacking in WP.” [5]
