For the PAP's Tanjong Pagar slate, consistency is the name of the game.

"Our campaign is not about the nine days," Education Minister Chan Chun Sing said, referring to the nine-day campaigning period ahead of the May 3 General Election.

Speaking to reporters during a walkabout in Telok Blangah Drive on April 24, Mr Chan, who is the anchor minister for Tanjong Pagar GRC, said: "It is the daily, consistent work (for residents) that is most important.

"What we will do will not be very different from what we do every other day," he said, noting his team's efforts to maintain a consistent presence in the constituency and to connect with residents.

Mr Chan's five-member Tanjong Pagar team includes fellow incumbents Alvin Tan, who is Minister of State for Trade and Industry and Culture, Community and Youth, and Joan Pereira. New on the team is Ms Rachel Ong, whose Telok Blangah ward is now part of Tanjong Pagar. Her ward was previously in West Coast GRC.
