More than one new face' expected in Sembawang GRC team, says Ong

Mr Ong, who is the anchor minister for Sembawang GRC, was asked by reporters if there would be a new face on his team. He was attending an event on March 23 to open a new outdoor obstacle course and water play area at the Bukit Canberra integrated sports and community hub.

"I'm very eager to introduce them to residents and introduce them to the media," he replied, adding that he is checking with party headquarters every week to see "whether they have confirmed candidates deployed to us".

Sembawang GRC, which was created in 1988 and is made up of mostly Housing Board flats, is currently split into five divisions, namely Woodlands, Admiralty, Canberra, Sembawang Central and Sembawang West.
