Speaking at the Tampines Learning Festival, Mr Masagos, who is Minister for Social and Family Development, said Nanyang Technological University assistant professor of marketing Charlene Chen will be working with him to serve the residents of Tampines East, which he has been in charge of since July 2023.

Former MP Cheng Li Hui, who used to be MP for the area, resigned in 2023 due to an extramarital affair with former Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin.

Noting that Prof Chen has been appointed second adviser to the grassroots organisations in Tampines GRC, Mr Masagos said she had volunteered to step in.
