Gan Kim Yong ({{zh|s=颜金勇|t=顏金勇|p=Yán Jīn Yǒng|poj=Gân Kim-ióng}}; born 9 February 1959) is a Singaporean politician. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he has been Minister for Health since May 2011.[1] He is also the Chairman of the governing PAP since 2018. He is a Member of Parliament representing Chua Chu Kang GRC.

Career

Early career

Gan began his career in the Singapore Civil Service at the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Home Affairs. He left the civil service for the private sector in 1989 and joined NatSteel Ltd. In 1996, he was made the Executive Vice-President of NatSteel and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NatSteel Resorts International and NatSteel Properties. In 2005, he became the President and CEO of NatSteel.

Political career

Gan's first election was for the Holland-Bukit Panjang Group Representation Constituency in the 2001 elections, where the party won a walkover on nomination day. In 2005, Gan was appointed a Minister of State at the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Manpower.

Gan replaced Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency MP Low Seow Chay in the 2006 general election. He defeated Singapore Democratic Alliance's candidate Steve Chia (who was a former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament at the time) with 60.37% of the votes.

At the 2011 general election, Gan led his five-candidate PAP team in the newly formed Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Constituency (into which his former ward was subsumed, along with Hong Kah GRC). The team won the election with 61.20% of the votes against a team of National Solidarity Party. Gan assumed his MP role representing Chua Chu Kang till this day.

In the 2015 general election, his four-member team won 76.89% of the votes against the newly-formed People's Power Party (Singapore).

On 23 November 2018, Gan assumed the party's chairperson, taking over Minister of Transport Khaw Boon Wan,[2][3]

Minister for Manpower (2009 - 2011)

In 2008, Gan was made the Acting Minister for Manpower, and later promoted to a full Cabinet Minister the following year.

Minister for Health (2011 - present)

On 21 May 2011, Gan was appointed the Minister for Health.

On 28 Jan 2019, sensitive information including names, identification numbers, phone numbers, addresses and HIV test results of 12,400 HIV-positive people were leaked online after an ex-Ministry of Health staff, Ler Teck Siang mishandled the information.[4] The ex-staff, the former head of National Public Health Unit, had access to the information and did not comply with Ministry of Health's security guidelines. Ler downloaded the information on to a personal thumbdrive, which his then-boyfriend Mikhy K Farrera Brochez leaked online subsequently. [5] Gan also explained that the information was not announced earlier, in order to safeguard the patients' well-being. [6]

Other appointments

Gan was appointed by the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to serve on the Independent High-level Commission on Non-Communicable Diseases from 2018 until 2019.[7]

Education

Gan was educated at Catholic High School and National Junior College, before going on to the University of Cambridge on an Overseas Merit Scholarship, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Electrical Engineering (1981).[8] In 1985, he obtained his master's degree from Cambridge University.[9]

Personal life

Gan currently serves as an elder at the Chen Li Presbyterian Church.[10]
