He has been actively engaging with residents in the lead-up to the 2025 General Election (GE2025).
Over the past month, he has been walking the ground, celebrating Ramadan with the Muslim community, launching the Value Meals programme, teaching children about road safety at Chua Chu Kang Central, and engaging with residents through various activities, including the recent trip to Universal Studios.
On Monday (7 April), Mr Gan unveiled a five-year plan for Chua Chu Kang Town, which includes several key improvements aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents:
Mr Gan expressed his gratitude to the residents for their support and looked forward to continued collaboration in the years ahead.
“We look forward to your continued partnership as we journey towards 2030 to create a home we love,” he said.
Mr Gan and Ms Khor, both People’s Action Party (PAP) members, have been seen together on several occasions as they prepare for the 2025 General Election (GE).
Ms Khor has represented the Hong Kah area since her political debut in 2001.
Following the dissolution of Hong Kah North and its redistribution, with Tengah now under Chua Chu Kang GRC and the remaining parts of Hong Kah North included in the new Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC, it remains unclear where she will be fielded in the upcoming GE.
Nevertheless, she remains dedicated to serving the residents of both Hong Kah North and Tengah.
“I would like to assure all HKN residents that we will continue to reach out and engage you, listen to your feedback, understand your needs and seek to improve your community and lives as we have always done so,” she stated.
