However, the walkabout at Ang Mo Kio GRC was Ms Lau’s first. The former Ministry of Health ( MOH) deputy secretary, whose last day in the civil service was on Apr 1, said she has been asked whether she would be running in the election.  ,
” But here I am”, the 42-year-old said, adding that she was delighted to be” standing on the shoulders of giants” and learning from them.
” It’s been very, very hot really, meeting all people in Ang Mo Kio, yet as I do it slowly. There’s been a lot of generosity of time, energy and resources, and folks really want to help. But I look forward to a lot more of that”, she added.
Ms Lau was among the highest-ranked civil workers at MOH, where she oversaw labor, financing and regulatory actions in the medical system.
Her legal services job began in 2006 and spanned six messages, including an earlier stay at MOH from 2013 to 2019.
As a civil servant, she even worked at the Economic Development Board, the Public Service Division, the Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of Finance.
Considerably absent during Sunday’s haywire were Ang Mo Kio MPs Gan Thiam Poh and Ng Ling Ling.  ,
In response to questions about their absence, Mr Lee said:” I didn’t say that we have the whole ( Ang Mo Kio ) team here. I said I have some of my coworkers here with … two new campaigners”.
Ang Mo Kio current MPs include Mr Lee ( Teck Ghee ), Mr Darryl David ( Ang Mo Kio-Hougang ), Ms Nadia Samdin ( Cheng San-Seletar ), Ms Ng Ling Ling ( Jalan Kayu ) and Mr Gan Thiam Poh ( Fernvale ).  ,
Ang Mo Kio GRC will be the largest democratic division with 161, 235 delegates at the approaching elections, even as recently formed Jalan Kayu Single Member Constituency ( SMC) has been carved out of it.
Jalan Kayu SMC– with 29, 565 votes – may include parts of both the present Jalan Kayu hospital under Ms Ng and Fernvale hospital under Mr Gan.
Ang Mo Kio GRC will remain as a five-member hospital.
In the 2020 election, the PAP secured 71.91 per share of votes in Ang Mo Kio GRC against the Reform Party.
The Singapore United Party and People’s Power Party have said they will battle the electorate this time.
