ROLE AS AN MP AND GRASSROOTS ADVISOR
Well into my fourth term as MP of Kampong Glam under the Jalan Besar GRC, I am happy to serve my residents in many areas.
As we continue to navigate through COVID-19, many of our initiatives have evolved, and some have come back even stronger.
Many of our activities are not only driven by the Kampong Glam division team but also through active community participation.
Our initiatives include:
Key estate improvements, including Home Improvement Programmes, Lift Upgrading Programmes, covered link ways and overhead bridge lifts in many precincts
Bringing together previously uncoordinated services for our elderly residents through PeaceConnect Senior Activity Centres
Financial and social assistance for lower-income households, including Adopt a Family scheme, Milk and Diaper scheme, Tuition with Love programme
Installation of several signature programmes to build community cohesion including Breakfast with Love, National Day Block Parties
Follow me on my journey through my posts as I navigate the different programmes in Kampong Glam.

I'm in Kuala Lumpur for President Tharman's state visit to Malaysia, so I will not be at MPS tonight — but your appeals will still be vetted and mailed by me.
After my usual Breakfast with Love with Ah Hood Gardens residents, I am on my way to Masjid Burhani or the Dawoodi Bohra Mosque in my constituency — a mosque first built in 1897.
Kudos to the many jobseekers who came with hope, courage and an open mind towards new possibilities.
Did you know that Singapore already has its own floating solar farm — and more are on the way?
I'm so encouraged by the many ways by which students are exposed to values, STEM, AI and other important aspects of schooling.
A fantastic collaboration between the kids and our seniors from various active ageing centres!
Whether you are starting afresh, returning to the workforce, or looking to take the next step in your career, do come by and explore the possibilities.
So glad to see several young people with disabilities happily join many others in using these facilities!
