Valerie Lee Nai Yi[a] PBM (born February 1986)[1][2] is a Singaporean business executive and politician. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), she has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Changi division of Pasir Ris–Changi Group Representation Constituency (GRC) since 2025.[3]

Lee graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering in 2008. In 2009, she graduated from Duke University with a Master of Engineering Management.[1][4][5]

Career

Lee is the head of corporate affairs and sustainability at Sembcorp. She had previously been a director at SP Group and Singtel.[4]

Political career

Lee began volunteering for the PAP in 2017.[4] In 2023, she was the chairperson of The Frontier Community Club Management Committee; for this, she was awarded the Pingat Bakti Masyarakat (PBM)[b] in the same year's National Day Awards.[4][1]

In October 2024, Lee was seen volunteering in West Coast GRC. At the time, she had been a councillor for West Coast Town Council since August of the same year and volunteered in the constituency for approximately a year after leaving Pioneer Single Member Constituency (SMC).[1] In December, she was seen on PAP walkabouts in West Coast GRC.[5]

In late March 2025, Lee was seen with four of the incumbent MPs for the five-member Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC, which had been abolished for the general election in the same year at the recommendation of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC).[6] On Nomination Day, 23 April, she was nominated to be part of the PAP team for the four-member Pasir Ris–Changi GRC, created from the abolition of Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC.[7]

Lee became an MP after the PAP team for Pasir Ris–Changi GRC defeated the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) with 67.68% of the vote.[2][8]
