Ms Khan is the youngest elected Member of Parliament (MP). She was among the 93 MPs sworn in at today’s opening of the 14th Parliament.

Prior to her foray into politics, Ms Khan founded the Reyna Movement, an organisation she set up that operates in Singapore and Johor to empower marginalised women and children through upskilling programme and community engagement.

According to her Workers’ Party profile, it says that she works through her organisation with women’s shelters, people without homes, at-risk children and low-income families in Singapore.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!
