Nicole Rebecca Seah Xue Ling
(Chinese: 佘雪玲; born 17 October 1986) is a Singaporean politician.
She was a National Solidarity Party (NSP) candidate for the Marine Parade GRC in the 2011 Singaporean general election.
At age 24 she was the youngest female candidate standing in the election and immediately became a target of media attention, which became increasingly pronounced as her speeches began to go viral on YouTube.
During the election, she was described as the most popular Singaporean politician on Facebook, having over 100000 "likes" on the website and outranking the second most popular Singaporean politician, Singapore's former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.
Despite national popularity, her team captured only 43.35% of the vote and did not manage to wrest Marine Parade GRC from the ruling party team in the 2011 election. But 2016 will be different. Go Nicole... we are behind you.
