His modest rendition was met with warm applause, adding a personal and endearing touch to the evening’s festivities
Judging by the smiles and enthusiastic participation from the crowd — made up largely of middle-aged and elderly women — it was clear they were enjoying themselves, prompting some commenters to cheekily dub him an “aunty killer”.

From civil service to community spotlight
Before entering politics, Mr Foo served as Director at the Ministry of Transport.
Now, he’s one of the newer faces in Parliament, having been elected as part of the People’s Action Party (PAP) team in Tanjong Pagar GRC, which garnered 81.02% of the vote in the 2025 General Election.
Since then, he has hit the ground running with grassroots efforts.
In his latest Facebook post on Thursday (29 May), Mr Foo shared that he recently attended his first Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCC) meeting with members of the Tanjong Pagar-Tiong Bahru CCC.
