SINGAPORE: Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean has said that one of the priorities he wants to tackle for Punggol East residents is the resolution of upgrading works at Rivervale Plaza.
Works there have been delayed because the contractor has gone bust.
Mr Teo, who is also the anchor minister for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a community event on Sunday.
The Deepavali celebration is the second community event Mr Teo attended over the weekend, following the resignation of Punggol East MP Michael Palmer over an extramarital affair.
Mr Teo noted that one of the concerns of residents is the upgrading works at Rivervale.
He said his team of MPs will continue discussions, started by Mr Palmer, with the Housing and Development Board, residents and shop owners, to resolve the problem.
Mayor Teo Ser Luck has been appointed caretaker MP for Punggol East.
Mr Teo Chee Hean said: "We've always looked after the residents (of Punggol East) as a larger Pasir Ris-Punggol family. So I know quite a lot of the grassroots leaders here. I've been here many times also, with Mr Teo Ser Luck as well. So we will continue looking after residents."
DPM Teo has said he will attend the ward's Meet-the-People session on Monday night.
