On Saturday (4 May), former Minister for Education Ng Chee Meng attended a gathering organised by FairPrice at Block 546 Serangoon North Avenue 3, which is in Ang Mo Kio GRC.

He interacted with residents and celebrated May Day at the block party.

The appearance followed a similar one last month, where Mr Ng attended a FairPrice Hari Raya event in Bukit Batok.

He joined Member of Parliament (MP) for Ang Mo Kio GRC Ms Ng Ling Ling at the event.

“NTUC Singapore is committed to helping workers manage the cost of living and making a difference every step of the way,” Mr Ng concluded.

Speculation arose soon after that Mr Ng might be taking part in the general elections later this year as part of other constituencies such as Jurong GRC or Ang Mo Kio GRC, according to The Straits Times (ST).

 

At the time, he told reporters not to “read too much” into the event. The former minister said that such appearances are part of NTUC’s regular groundwork.
