Amy Khor Lean Suan (Chinese: 许连碹; pinyin: Xǔ Liánxuàn; born 23 February 1958)[1][2] is a Malaysian-born Singaporean politician who has been serving as Senior Minister of State for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment since 2020. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), she has been the Member of Parliament (MP) representing Hong Kah North SMC since 2011.
Prior to entering politics, Khor was a valuer at the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), senior lecturer at the National University of Singapore, and executive director at Knight Frank. She made her political debut in the 2001 general election as part of a five-member PAP team contesting in Hong Kah GRC. After the PAP team won with 79.74% of the vote, she became a Member of Parliament representing the Hong Kah North ward of Hong Kah GRC. Since then, she had retained her parliamentary seat in the 2006 general election by an uncontested walkover, and had later won consecutive elections as a solo PAP candidate in Hong Kah North SMC starting from the 2011 general election. She had since been serving as Minister of State and later Senior Minister of State at various Ministries.
