Ms Khan took to Instagram to make the announcement, writing: “Baby was viciously kicking while I was swearing in so I think they’re ready for Parliament too!”

Noticeably, Ms Khan used the preposition “they” in her caption. There is no confirmation on whether she's expecting a boy or a girl. 

The 26-year-old gave birth to her first child, a son, in July 2019.

Ms Khan is the youngest elected Member of Parliament (MP). She was among the 93 MPs sworn in at the opening of the 14th Parliament on Aug 24.

Prior to her foray into politics, Ms Khan founded the Reyna Movement, an organisation operating in Singapore and Johor to empower marginalised women and children through upskilling programmes and community engagement.

According to her Workers’ Party profile, she works through her organisation with women’s shelters, people without homes, at-risk children and low-income families in Singapore.
