In the 2015 Singaporean general election, she returned to Parliament after her team defeated the Worker's Party with 60.7% of the popular vote, an increase of 5.9%.

She was part of the PAP team defending East Coast GRC in the 2020 general election,[3] which eventually won with a 53.41% vote share against WP.
