"We will do our best to serve their needs, regardless of who wishes to contest (in the GRC) when the elections come. The residents' needs have always been part of everything that we do, especially in terms of estate improvements as well as the programmes that we put in place to strengthen the community and to make positive engagements," Mrs Teo, who helms the People's Action Party team in Jalan Besar GRC, told reporters on March 12.

Jalan Besar GRC's other MPs are veterans Heng Chee How and Denise Phua, and polytechnic lecturer Wan Rizal Wan Zakariah.

When asked if the team will remain intact and if she will be continuing to lead the team there, Mrs Teo said: "It is premature and probably not helpful to speculate."
