Yee Jenn Jong, a former non-constitutional MP, may be a “very seasoned operator,” but the People’s Action Party ( PAP ) team in East Coast GRC has the infrastructure and stable foundation of previous teams, according to Mr. Edwin Tong, who will lead the party’s slate at the upcoming polls.
Mr. Tong, who is Minister for Culture, Community, and Youth, stated that the Workers ‘ Party ( WP ) candidate is “very seasoned” in campaigning, but he also emphasized the breadth of experience that his PAP slate will bring to the” tough election” to come.  ,
While Mr. Tong’s group features fresh eyes and he is a new addition to the East Coast GRC group, he said:” Over the years, we’ve seen groups come and clubs go. Although you may get a new member, we don’t step in from the ground because we build on and operate from the work that has already been done in the past.
East Coast has always been a difficult place for the PAP, and I think this will be the same as it has always been. I’ve known Jenn Jong for a while, and the WP is a good gathering, they have a trustworthy group, and I’ve known them for a while,” said Mr. Tong.  ,
According to Mr. Tong,” I think they will put up a good fight, and it’s something we have to take very seriously,” and that’s why I think this is one of my toughest GE among the four ( I have contested ).  ,
While Mr. Tong’s East Coast GRC line-up had already been confirmed following Nomination Day proceedings, he formally introduced his running mates later on Wednesday ( Apr 23 ) at the PAP’s headquarters as the ward’s anchor minister.  ,
Mr. Tong may lead a team that will include Dinesh Vasu Dash and Hazlina Abdul Halim, as well as Ms. Jessica Tan, Ms. Jessica Tan, and Senior Minister of State Tan Kiat How.
On Nomination Day, both the PAP and WP’s East Coast GRC tiles were made public.
Along with Mr. Yee, his former Marine Parade GRC running mate Nathaniel Koh and recent eyes Jasper Kuan, Sufyan Mikhail Putra, and Paris V Parameswari feature on the WP stone.
