Political career

Ang launched his political career during the 2011 general election, contesting as part of a five-member PAP team in Jurong GRC. The team secured 66.96% of the vote, enabling him to serve as MP for Jurong Central ward. He successfully defended this seat in 2015 with an increased vote share of 79.28%.

This concept attracted public criticism; subsequently, Ang issued an apology and clarified that the proposal was intended merely as "food for thought," not an official policy initiative.
