The PAP incumbent team for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC is led by Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen. After his nomination was confirmed, he had the opportunity to address the crowd gathered at the nomination centre in Raffles Institution.
While most other nominated politicians addressed their own party supporters, Ng addressed the elephant in the room - the jeering from opposition supporters - head on.
Turning to those jeering at his speech, Ng said, "Year by year we will improve your lives, even if you jeer against us, we will improve your lives."
He continued with, "And the more you jeer, the more we will continue to improve it even more."
Looks like he is bringing more than just knuckle-dusters to this fight.

No wonder a senior Straits Times journalist referred to the Defence Minister as the "debonair Dr Ng Eng Hen".
