00:00I will not be standing for re-election in Pasiris Changi GRC.
00:10I will continue to support PM Lawrence Wong and his 4G team
00:17and remain available to contribute to the team wherever
00:23and in whatever way that PM Lawrence Wong feels I can best serve.
00:29As I step down as your Member of Parliament in Pasiris,
00:34I do so with full confidence that we have a strong team
00:39ready to serve our Pasiris Changi residents.
00:43Today's introduction is, for me, both poignant and yet exciting at the same time.
00:51It's poignant because it means having to leave the residents of Tanjung Paga GRC,
00:56especially those in the Tanjung Paga Tiongbaru Division.
01:00I've been MP for Tanjung Paga since 2001.
01:04That's 24 years.
01:06Over that time, so many strong bonds have been built
01:10and so many wonderful memories created.
01:13Being fielded as a PAP candidate for the new Electoral Division of Pasiris Changi
01:19brings a new opportunity to serve.
01:22As I'm new to the residents of Pasiris Changi, I should say a few things about myself.
01:28I'm a lawyer by profession and practiced in the private sector for 25 years
01:34before joining Government full-time in 2012.
01:37My focus would be on the residents here.
01:40Your needs, your aspirations.
01:43And I would also look at how to continue to improve this town,
01:47building on the good work that SMTO and 2M Maliki have done.
01:53The Bomber Day is a bit worse, but I'm a good one.
01:57It's really nice to see you guys.
01:58How do you feel?
02:01I have died, because I'm a professional.
02:05I'm a team.
02:06I'm a doctor, I'm a doctor.
02:08I was a doctor.
02:10I'm a son.
02:13I'm a doctor.
02:14I'm a doctor.
02:15My doctor.
02:16I'm a doctor.
02:18I'm a doctor.
02:19I'm a doctor.
