Chen Show Mao (Chinese: 陈硕茂; pinyin: Chén Shuòmào; born 6 February 1961)[1] is a Singaporean politician. A member of the opposition Workers' Party (WP), he was the Member of Parliament for Aljunied GRC representing Paya Lebar between 2011 and 2020.
A graduate of Harvard, Oxford and Stanford, Chen was formerly a corporate lawyer at Davis Polk & Wardwell. He made his political debut in the 2011 general election when he joined a five-member Workers' Party team contesting in Aljunied GRC against a five-member team from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).
The Workers' Party team won with 54.72% of the vote against the PAP team,[2] marking the first time in Singapore's electoral history an opposition party had won an election in a GRC. Chen was elected to Parliament for a second term after the Workers' Party team won the 2015 general election in Aljunied GRC again with 50.96% of the vote against the PAP team.[3]
Chen stepped down as a MP for Aljunied GRC prior to the 2020 general election, although he remains active in politics.[4][5]
