Chiams extend National Day greetings to Potong Pasir residents

While Singapore geared up for its 47th birthday celebration at Marina Bay in the evening, the former stalwart of Potong Pasir made a visit to his former constituency to extend greetings to residents in the early morning hours on Thursday.

Mr Chiam See Tong, secretary general of the Singapore People's Party (SPP) and who was Member of Parliament for the area for 27 years until the ward changed hands to the People's Action Party (PAP) in last year's General Election, was warmly greeted as he and his wife, Non-constituency MP Lina Chiam, made their way through the estate.

Residents spontaneously approached Mr and Mrs Chiam to shake their hands as they made their way through the estate. The Chiams, accompanied by party members, were clearly still much loved by residents there. "Everywhere I go," Mr Chiam told us later, "people received me like a long-lost brother."

Mr Chiam later took a short break and had "chwee kueh" and coffee at the coffeeshop for breakfast, before making his way with his party members to Toa Payoh for another round of visits.

 

Mr Chiam, though weakened by his two strokes he has suffered, was evidently in good spirits and good physical health.

Publichouse.sg was there and here is a short video of the Chiams' morning visit.
