Mr. Xie emphasized that Lawrence Wong, the leader’s People’s Action Party ( PAP ) secretary-general, is the one who decides whether or not he will run for office.  ,
But, Mr. Xie added that he anticipates having the chance to serve Jurong Central people further.
Jurong GRC has long been viewed as a PAP redoubt, with the group’s groups that emerging as the group’s best-performing GRC in terms of voter turnout in the previous two primaries.
The five-member group that included Mr. Xie and was led by subsequently party stalwart and senior minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, won more than 74 % of the vote in opposition to the newly established RDU in 2020.
In order to compete for president, Mr. Tharman resigned from his political, party, and government posts in 2023.
Jurong GRC may be divided and merged with another divisions for the future general election, which must be held by November, even though political pundits anticipate it taking place as early as May.
On Sunday night, Mr. Xie addressed journalists at Jurong West Street 41, along with a awol.
When CNA asked him if he had any ideas on his possibilities and whether he would be acting differently now that he might be running for the SMC without Mr. Tharman, he replied,” My mantra is, we take good care of people. The remainder is left to itself, we say.
He claimed that over the past five years, he and his team had constantly walked the basis and have implemented various initiatives to assist residents.
” Every vote, every battle, is unique. We’ll just get it one step at a time, and finally, what we want to do is go out there and win people’s hearts and minds, he said.
