SINGAPORE - The PAP's deployments - including those in East Coast and West Coast GRCs - are based on several factors, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at a press conference on Nomination Day on Tuesday .

Asked if two Cabinet ministers had been deployed to West Coast in anticipation of a close contest, Mr Lee replied that the decision was"not a totally surprising thing".For instance, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen and Manpower Minister Josephine Teo were both in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC in the last election.

At the press conference after the slates were finalised, Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean was also asked for his thoughts on losing several experienced MPs from his Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, which is in for a three-way contest.
