Mr Leon Perera has been seen working the ground in Workers' Party Colours prompting some political analysts to speculate that he may be a potential candidate for the WP in the coming election.
He was photographed next to MP Chen Shao Mao and actively volunteering in full media view.
The PAP has been introducing several new potential candidates to the media recently citing that they want candidates to be on the ground early, a point that they themselves had learned was beneficial to the Workers' Party in GE 2011.
With the series of new introductions on the PAP side, there is now one from the WP with Mr Perera, a 44 year old ex civil servant who now works as the CEO of Spire Research and Consulting. He also serves as the vice president of the board of Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics.
Mr Perera was seen handing out food rations and necessities to elderly residents at Paya Lebar.
He is a relatively new face to the WP who used to be the assistant head of the Economic Development Board (EDB)'s Enterprise Development Division.
He is not the first former high ranking civil servant to join the opposition and political analysts are predicting that he is certainly not going to be the last.
As politics in Singapore continues to develop, there will be less stigma attached to joining the opposition and more and more good candidates will be joining both sides.
