Ong Ye Kung, one of the PAP candidates who stood in Aljunied GRC last election, is looking set to return to politics and run in a different GRC in the next election.
He has recently been seen helping with grassroots activities and meet-the-people sessions with other Ministers.
National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan invited Mr Ong to help him out in Sembawang GRC, and Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Manpower, Hawazi Daipi is planning to have Mr Ong join him during his Meet-the-people sessions in Marsiling soon.
Ong has been a high flying civil servant who was part of the PAP Aljunied GRC team which lost to Workers' Party in 2011.
He was the NTUC Assistant Secretary General before quitting shortly after the election. He also serves on the board of directors at SMRT.
