Faisal Manap
Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap (Jawi: محمد فيصل بن عبد المناف; born 6 June 1975) is a Singaporean politician who has been the vice-chairperson of the Workers' Party (WP) since 2016. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Kaki Bukit division of Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC) between 2011 and 2025.
Faisal attended Eunos Primary School and Telok Kurau Secondary School before graduating from Singapore Polytechnic in 1995 with a diploma in civil and structural engineering.
He subsequently went on to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology at Monash University in 2005.
Between 1998 and 2002, Faisal worked as a technical officer in the Housing and Development Board (HDB). Between 2006 and 2010, he worked as a marriage and divorce counsellor for couples. As of 9 July 2010, he was calling himself a freelance counsellor, having "recently" resigned from his prior social work agency.
Faisal joined the WP in February 2006. He made his political debut during the 2011 general election as part of a five-member WP team contesting Aljunied GRC against the governing People's Action Party (PAP). The WP team won 54.72% of the vote, the first opposition victory in a GRC in Singaporean history. He was subsequently assigned to the Kaki Bukit division of the GRC and became a full-time MP, retaining his seat during the 2015 and 2020 general elections. Within the Aljunied–Hougang Town Council (AHTC), he served as chairperson of the Estate and Liaison Committee (2013–2018), chairperson of AHTC (2018–2021), and vice-chairperson of AHTC (2021–2022).
During the 2025 general election, Faisal led a five-member WP team contesting Tampines GRC in a four-way contest against the PAP and two other opposition parties. They lost to the PAP team with 47.37% of the vote.
Faisal was elected into the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the WP as the party's vice-chairperson on 29 May 2016, replacing Mohammed Rahizan Yaacob. He has since retained the position in subsequent CEC elections.
In November 2021, Raeesah Khan, then-MP for the Compassvale division of Sengkang GRC, resigned from the WP and Parliament after admitting that she had fabricated an account, which she later presented to Parliament as fact, of accompanying a victim of sexual assault to a police station. Her division was divided into three parts, each to be managed by one of the remaining three MPs for Sengkang GRC, while Faisal became a temporary advisor to the team of three. Party leader Pritam Singh claimed that the appointment of Faisal as an advisor addressed concerns on the lack of a minority MP for the GRC.
