Desmond Tan, Sharael Taha and Valerie Lee as well as SM Teo and Dr Janil Puthucheary were spotted at a walkabout in Pulau Ubin on April 11.
The island became part of Pasir Ris-Changi GRC after electoral boundaries were redrawn in March.
Lee told media that there are 30 voters in the island with concerns such as "wildlife challenges" and support to redeem the $400 Climate Vouchers, adding that the team had gotten these residents' contacts to give them some assistance.
"No matter the number (of residents), we will definitely put in 100 per cent to continue to support everyone, and we will be thinking of some plans to kind of revitalise and help improve life on the island."
On April 21, at a press conference to introduce PAP's candidates contesting in the ward, SM Teo announced that he will not be standing for re-election in Pasir Ris-Changi GRC.
"I will continue to support PM Lawrence Wong and his 4G team and remain available to contribute to the team wherever and in whatever way PM Wong feels I can best serve," he said. Last-minute move to SDA
Chia Yun Kai, the newest member of Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) had previously started his one-man Most Valuable Party to contest East Coast GRC, but moved to SDA on Nomination Day (April 23).
The 32-year-old restaurant owner told AsiaOne that he made the switch because he had "aligned values" with SDA.
Formed in 2001, SDA is made up of two political parties — the Singapore Justice Party (SJP) and the Singapore Malay National Organisation, and has been contesting in Pasir Ris-Punggol since 2006.
