New face spotted as PAP team gives out teddy bears in Fengshan
The Straits Times
|November 18, 2024
Bedok 85 Market was abuzz on Nov 17 with East Coast GRC MP Cheryl Chan and her team of volunteers—who included a new face—handing out People's Action Party (PAP) teddy bears to residents as part of the ruling party's 70th anniversary celebrations.
The bears, clad in white PAP T-shirts, made their debut at the popular market alongside Ms Melissa Tan, 46, chief executive officer of home-grown waste management firm Wah & Hua.
The long-time party volunteer—who was previously active in Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment, and Transport Amy Khor's Hong Kah North SMC—had joined the Fengshan team in its activities one to two weeks ago.
At the Nov 17 event, Ms Tan greeted residents alongside Ms Chan.
When approached, she told The Straits Times: "As I have been with the party for many years, I take the opportunity to visit other areas to see how they conduct activities from time to time."
