Former Workers' Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang yesterday returned to his old stomping ground in Hougang to meet residents, in his first public appearance since he had a bad fall in April.
Mr Low was joined by the single-member constituency's incumbent WP MP Png Eng Huat and Non-Constituency MP Dennis Tan, 49, whom the WP has said it will be fielding as its candidate there in the July 10 election.
In a video posted on Facebook by Mr Tan yesterday, the trio are seen greeting residents at a bus stop in Hougang.
Mr Low had injured his head in a fall on April 30.
The 63-year-old was admitted to the intensive care unit at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, and was discharged after 21 days.
After the walkabout, the WP said in a message broadcast via messaging platform Whatsapp that the party is grateful for the trust and support from Hougang residents over the past three decades.
"Mr Dennis Tan and his team are ready to serve, and we hope to count on your continued support to allow us to do so!"
