Sitoh Yih Pin CBE[4] (Chinese: 司徒宇斌; pinyin: Sītú Yǔbīn; born 2 December 1963)[2][3] is a Singaporean politician. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he has been the Member of Parliament (MP) representing Potong Pasir SMC since 2011.[2]

An accountant by profession, Sitoh entered politics in the 2001 general election as a PAP candidate contesting against opposition Chiam See Tong, who had been representing Potong Pasir SMC since 1984, and lost to Chiam. [5]

He lost to Chiam again in the 2006 general election,[6] but won against Lina Loh, in the 2011 general election after Chiam went to contest in Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC.[7]

Since then, he has retained his parliamentary seat in Potong Pasir SMC after winning the general elections in 2015[8] and 2020.[9]
