SINGAPORE: Opposition figure Hazel Poa has been elected as the new secretary-general of the National Solidarity Party (NSP) after the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the party met on Sunday.
Mr Sebastian Teo retains his position as party president.

Ms Poa's appointment came after Mr Goh Meng Seng stepped down as NSP's secretary-general.
Earlier on Sunday, Mr Goh said on his blog he would taking a sabbatical for at least two years.
Mr Goh, who will remain a congress member, also said he will try to help presidential hopeful Mr Tan Kin Lian in his campaign over the next couple of months.

He described the NSP's result as its "best" since its inception even though it did not meet his expectation of winning seats in Parliament.
