Also speaking at Sunday's rally was Dr Lam’s former running mate Ng Chee Meng, the PAP candidate for Jalan Kayu that was carved out of Ang Mo Kio GRC after the latest electoral boundaries review.
Cheering on Mr Ng, the labour chief who led PAP’s bid for Sengkang GRC in 2020, Dr Lam said: “I believe Mr Ng Chee Meng will continue to serve Jalan Kayu residents and make it an even better place for all."
Dr Lam then hit back at the opposition’s “buy one get one free narrative”, referring to the idea that residents would benefit from voting in an opposition team as the losing PAP team would still serve as the grassroots adviser and the branch chairman.

He added that a "more absurd” new narrative of “buy one get two free” had emerged, referring to the idea that if an opposition party was elected, the PAP would work doubly hard through its grassroots adviser and branch chairman.
