Liang Eng Hwa (Chinese: 连荣华; pinyin: Lián Rónghuá; born 1964) is a Singaporean politician currently serving as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Bukit Panjang SMC since 10 July 2020.
He was the MP for Holland–Bukit Timah GRC from 6 May 2006 to 23 June 2020. He is a Buddhist.[1]
Early life
Liang was born in Singapore on 20 March 1964. He attended Bukit Panjang English School and Anderson Secondary School.[2] He completed a Diploma in Civil Engineering at Singapore Polytechnic in 1984. He graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Melbourne, obtaining First Class Honours.[2]
Political career
Liang started serving as an MP in 2006 after a walkover victory in the 2006 General Election as one of five members of the Group Representation Constituency (GRC). He was the MP in charge of Zhenghua district within the GRC during his first term. In 2011, he contested again representing the team from the PAP which was led by Minister Vivian Balakrishnan together with Christopher de Souza and Sim Ann in a reduced-size (from 5 MPs to 4) Holland–Bukit Timah GRC. They faced heavy challenges from Team-A of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) which was represented by Ang Yong Guan, Tan Jee Say, Michelle Lee and Vincent Wijeysingha. He was then appointed Chairperson of Finance, Trade & Industry Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) in the 14th Parliament of Singapore.[3] The PAP team managed to win 60.1% of the votes against their rookie competitors. Liang was officially declared as an MP for his second term on 9 May 2011.[4]
