Tan prevailed at the polls over Lee Hong Chuang of the People’s Action Party. Lee, 50, a senior information technology manager, was contesting in the ward for the second time running.Speaking on Facebook Live early this morning after the official results were announced, Tan thanked voters for their support, saying he was humbled by it.

"I will do my best to serve you and speak up for you in Parliament. Hougang voters who have not voted for me, you are also Hougang people and I will also work hard to serve you and hope to win your support in due course." Low was replaced by Yaw Shin Leong, whose time as Hougang Member of Parliament was short-lived. In February 2012, WP expelled him over indiscretions in his private life and he vacated his parliamentary seat.
