==Biography==

'''Potong Pasir Single Member Constituency''' (波东巴西单选区) is a [[Single Member Constituency]] (SMC) in the [[Central Region, Singapore|central]] region of [[Singapore]]. The SMC encompasses [[Potong Pasir]], [[Lorong 8 Toa Payoh]] and [[Sennett Estate]]. The constituency has existed since [[1968]]. Its current [[Member of Parliament]] is opposition party [[Singapore Democratic Alliance]]'s chairman, [[Chiam See Tong]]. Chiam has been the Member of Parliament for Potong Pasir SMC since [[1984]], when [[People's Action Party]] candidate [[Mah Bow Tan]] (who is currently the [[Minister for National Development (Singapore)|Minister for National Development]]) lost to the former in the [[Singapore general election, 1984|1984 general election]]. The seat is a hotly contested seat in the general elections. In the [[Singapore general election, 2001|2001 general election]], Chiam See Tong won the seat by 751 votes to People's Action Party's [[Sitoh Yih Pin]], clinching 52.4% of the votes. Chiam subsequently improved his winning margin to 55.8% in the [[Singapore general election, 2006|2006 general election]].

Show started playing drums at the tender age of 3 and performed onstage with his parents as a child. He won a silver award at a singing contest when he was only 7. Show entered the entertainment industry as a teenager, participating in pop groups Four Heavenly Kings and Romeo before moving on to acting and hosting. In 2003, Show launched his solo debut Show Time and has since captivated his fans with [[hip hop]], [[R&B]], and ballads, as well as collaborations with stars like [[Jolin Tsai]], [[Jay Chou]], and [[Joey Yung]].

Show's fourth album, Speshow, has just been released on [[November 17]], [[2006]]. Mando-pop fans not only get to enjoy his signature dance tracks, but also his first attempt at an English song, Twinkle, a duet with Japanese singer [[Koda Kumi]].
