A video uploaded on his Facebook page, captioned "5 individuals, 1 team. A Sembawang for Everyone", features the anchor minister with incumbent MPs Vikram Nair and Mariam Jaafar, along with two new candidates, Mr Gabriel Lam and Mr Ng Shi Xuan.

But Mr Ong did not say explicitly that this would be the team contesting the constituency.

In late March, Mr Lam, chief operating officer of moving company Shalom International Movers, and Mr Ng, director of battery company Powermark Battery and Hardware, were introduced by Mr Ong as likely candidates for the GRC at the launch of a community initiative to help seniors in Bukit Canberra.

Incumbent Sembawang GRC MP Lim Wee Kiak is not in the video.

On April 13, Mr Ong paid tribute to Dr Lim at a constituency event, but stopped short of saying the four-term MP would be retiring.
