Politics
Yee first stepped into the political world in 2011 contesting in the Joo Chiat Single Member Constituency (Joo Chiat SMC) against Charles Chong from the People"s Action Party. Although he lost marginally with 48.99% of the votes, he finished as the second best loser in an election whereby less than 9 non-ruling party Members of Parliament (MPs) made it to parliament and was entitled to an NCMP position in the 12th Parliament of Singapore. With Yee taking up the NCMP position together with Gerald Giam, Workers" Party set a new record in the Singapore"s post-independence political arena becoming the first non-ruling party to have 8 (6 Member of Parliament + 2 NCMP) seats in parliament.
