Some residents waved from their flats and cars, while others ran from the void deck to catch a glimpse of Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his team on an open-top bus as they thanked residents after their electoral success.

SM Lee and MPs of Ang Mo Kio 'extended family' thank residents

With SM Lee on May 4 were fellow Ang Mo Kio GRC MPs Darryl David, Nadia Ahmad Samdin, Jasmin Lau and Victor Lye.

The MPs of the "Ang Mo Kio extended family" - Mr Henry Kwek from Kebun Baru SMC, Mr Yip Hon Weng from Yio Chu Kang SMC, and Mr Ng Chee Meng from Jalan Kayu SMC - were also on board.

The bus departed from PAP's Teck Ghee branch office in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, after supporters were treated to a lion and dragon dance performance. Over three hours later, it stopped in Hougang Street 61, where a community getai event was held by the Hougang Village Merchants' Association.

Speaking to residents at the final stop, SM Lee expressed his gratitude for their support at the general election on May 3.
