SINGAPORE: Stepping out from a Meet-the-People session (MPS) at Chai Chee, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong said on Monday night (Jul 17) that his priority was the well-being and care of the residents in Marine Parade GRC.

Mr Tong was standing in for former Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin, who had resigned due to an affair with former Tampines Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had earlier said that Mr Tong would take care of Kembangan-Chai Chee residents in Marine Parade GRC, while Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli would do the same in the Tampines East ward in Tampines GRC.
