Desmond Choo hopes to represent new Tampines Changkat SMC

Mr Choo said an MP in a single-member constituency can provide more dedicated attention to residents, while MPs in group representation constituencies have to consider the bigger picture and needs of the GRC.

He added: "I've been here (in this ward) for 10 years. If there's an opportunity, this would be the place I want to represent.

"So if there's any place I hope the Prime Minister will send me, that would be Tampines Changkat.

"Many residents have come up to me, saying that they know Tampines Changkat has been carved out, but we hope that you stay here with us, and I hope to honour that trust."

The PAP has yet to announce its slate for Tampines GRC and Tampines Changkat SMC.
