Template:Chinese name Tin Pei Ling (simplified Chinese: 陈佩玲; traditional Chinese: 陳佩玲; pinyin: Chén Pèilíng) is a Chinese Singaporean who is the Singapore People's Action Party candidate for the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency.[1] She is the PAP's youngest candidate in the Singapore general election, 2011, and was Singapore's youngest candidate for that election until the National Solidarity Party announced the nomination of Nicole Seah for the same constituency.
Politics
Tin has been with the YoungPAP's Ulu Pandan branch for the last seven years and is currently serving as treasurer for the organization. [2]
She was originally fielded by the PAP as a candidate to attract the "unpredictable" youth vote via facebook and YouTube, but this is effort backfired and resulted in a large backlash online from all Singaporeans but young Singaporeans especially. [3] According to the Asia Sentinel, Tin Pei Ling "suffers from a real lack of substance and meaning". Her campaign statements focused on "stability" and "hard work" without identifying particular policies of importance.
She faced widespread ridicule due to various incidents with the press. After being asked if there was a PAP policy she would change, she faced widespread ridicule for replying that there were no PAP policies she felt strongly against. [4] When asked what her "greatest regret" was, she said it was not having brought her parents to Universal Studios. [5] As the PAP Marine Parade GRC team made their post-nomination speeches to the crowd on Nomination Day on April 27, Tin Pei Ling was greeted with cries of "Kate Spade!" and "Universal Studios" as she made her speech. The "Kate Spade" cry was a reference to a widely-circulated facebook photo of her posing with her Kate Spade purchase which led to widespread accusations of materialism and privilege. [6]
Education
Tin was educated at Crescent Girls' School, where she was Crescentian of the Year 2000. She subsequently studied at Hwa Chong Junior College.[7]
Tin graduated with a Bachelor of Social Sciences honours degree in psychology from the National University of Singapore. At NUS, she was also on the University Scholars Programme. [7]
