Ex-MP Carrie Tan proposes to long-time partner during GE2025

While many were focused on campaign trails and political speeches during Day 4 of Singapore’s General Election, former Nee Soon GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Carrie Tan had other plans — and they had nothing to do with ballots.

In a heartfelt moment at The Singing Loft’s first recital on 26 April, the former political candidate turned vocal student got down on one knee to propose to her partner of seven years, Kevin Teo.

“Sorry PM Wong,” she joked in the Facebook post caption, noting the timing clash with the election.

“I planned this before you announced the writ!”

The couple’s special moment unfolded in front of a live audience, who first watched Ms Tan perform a song about growing old with a loved one.
