Mdm Rohana added that she was not able to see Mr Tharman during the wait for the election result as it was too crowded. “If can, I want to shake hand with him,” she said.
“This might be the last time. Next time, maybe very difficult to see him.”
Arriving at about 9.15am, Mr Tharman walked up to the food centre, shaking hands and greeting supporters along the way.
He also held up a bowl with a pineapple in it, together with the decoration, which drew cheers from the crowd.
As part of his victory parade, Mr Tharman will also be visiting Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre, Toa Payoh Hub and Our Tampines Hub.
