Leong, one of the party's two Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMP), will replace Francis Yuen, who had stepped down from the post due to his new commitments as executive chairman of an overseas publicly listed company. Yuen remains a PSP member.
In addition to Leong's appointment, Hazel Poa - the party's other NCMP - will serve as vice-chairman, according to a PSP Facebook post on Tuesday (4 April). Former People's Action Party member Tan Cheng Bock remains as party chairman,
