Meanwhile, Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli and the rest of the Tampines MPs, as well as Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary, were spotted coming out from a private meeting at the PCF Sparkletots Preschool location at Tampines West on Monday night.
Speaking to reporters before heading to his Meet-the-People session, Mr Masagos wanted to reassure residents that their needs would continue to be met.
Fellow MP for Tampines GRC Mr Desmond Choo will replace Ms Cheng Li Hui as the chairman for Tampines Town Council, while Mr Baey Yam Keng will become vice-chairman of the town council.
Dr Koh Poh Koon is the other Tampines GRC MP.
“The Tampines team will continue to run and provide service to our residents without any change in the quality of the services. Town council will run the services as usual,” Mr Masagos said.
“The grassroots will continue to run services to keep the community together, and of course, Our Tampines Hub will execute all the plans for our residents as we’ve done for the last few years. So it’s only the filling in and doubling up on the positions (that has changed).”
Ms Cheng, who had been MP for Tampines since her political debut in 2015, said in her letter to the Prime Minister that she was “very sorry to be resigning in these circumstances”.
“Li Hui has been serving our residents and we appreciate her helming the Tampines Town Council during her time with us,” wrote Mr Masagos in a Facebook post on Monday.
Under the leadership of Mr Choo and Mr Baey, “the Town Council will continue to operate smoothly and uninterrupted”, he added.
“Tampines GRC residents can already visit or write to any of us if they need assistance.”
