Political career

Early political activism (2013–2015)

Han began her protests at Hong Lim Park in 2013.^[5] On 27 September 2014, Han was arrested along with other activists, including Roy Ngerng, for causing public nuisance and disrupting a charity carnival.^[6] She was later convicted and fined $3,100 on 27 June 2016.^[7]

First election campaign (2015)

In the 2015 general election, Han contested in Radin Mas Single Member Constituency (SMC) as an independent candidate, in a three-cornered contest against Kumar Appavoo of the Reform Party and Sam Tan of the People's Action Party (PAP).^[8] Han's campaign slogan was "Return our CPF" (Central Provident Fund), and she campaigned largely on CPF and housing issues.^[9]

Throughout the campaign, Han was accused by Reform Party secretary-general Kenneth Jeyaretnam of being sponsored by the defunct Socialist Front. Han would refute the accusations, instead criticising Jeyaretnam for losing his deposit in the 2013 Punggol East by-election.^[10] Jeyaretnam would also say that Han was not fielded as a candidate for the Reform Party due to her "creative approach to truth".^[11]

Han was heavily defeated on election night, only receiving 10.03% of the vote in comparison to Appavoo's 12.72% and Tan's 77.25%. As such, she lost her $14,500 election deposit.^[12][13]

Second election campaign (2025)

In the 2025 general election, Han was unveiled as a People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) candidate on Nomination Day, contesting in Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC).^[14][15] In her speech that day, she criticised hecklers and blamed the PAP for problems that she stated were present in Singapore.^[16]

Throughout the campaign, Han adopted the "3H" slogan, which stood for housing, healthcare and human rights, as the central focus of her platform. Her team suffered a heavy defeat on election night, securing only 18.98% of the vote in Tanjong Pagar GRC to the PAP's 81.02%, marking the PAP's largest victory margin in a GRC in Singapore's history.^[17][18][19]
