Biography
Ru is currently Treasurer, and is responsible for party finances and financial policy. She started volunteering with the party in 2011, and was elected a Member of Parliament for Sengkang GRC in July 2020.
Ru read Natural Sciences as an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge, and subsequently qualified as a solicitor of England and Wales, working at a ‘magic circle’ law firm in London and Frankfurt, before moving back to Singapore, where she worked in finance and subsequently was head of legal and communications of a listed public company.
Her three young sons keep her continually on her toes, and she hopes that they will grow up to serve a country and society which can hold respect and space for diverse viewpoints and backgrounds.
Having previously represented her college in football and rowing, these days Ru is content to nurse creaking joints while training towards obtaining a 4th kyu in Aikido, and also enjoys outdoor time, cooking and baking with her children. She is also renewing her knowledge and qualifications in the field of psychology and coaching.
