Wish list for my elected MP

I have 3 wishes for my MP.

1^st,

I hope, having being elected into the highest office of this land, called Singapura; by the Citizen; my MP will be a Full-Timer to serve us.

In this way, he or she will be truly focused on the well-being of the residents that he/she represents. On daily basis, he can truly walk the talk of promoting true “gotong-royong” spirit within the community.

2^nd,

I hope my MP will conduct the MPS or Meet-the-people-session more often throughout the work week (i.e. Monday to Friday). Currently majority of the elected MPs are conducting only 1 evening per week on a fixed day of the week.

True bonding and interaction with residents is very limited. Moreover, residents, whom are not working on normal office hours, and on rotating off-day type; usually find it very troublesome to visit the MP during this limited meeting opening window time.

For example, a public transport Bus Captain, whom works on afternoon shift; on daily, his work starts from around 2pm till after midnight; will find it almost not possible to visit his/her MP.

As an alternative, I believe, MPS can also be conducted at other time slot during the 1^st half of the day.

3^rd,

I hope my MP can conduct the MPS activities from the office of the zone RC’s (Residents’ Committee). This is will ensure easier outreach and engagement with residents. Normally, in a particular constituency, that he/she representing; there will be easily have some 3 to 5 RC Zones that, the MP (regardless his political affiliation) to use this RC’s office for the MPS.

Most RC is situated around ~400M radius from the residents’ flat.

Since RC is built by the Rakyat’s tax money, I hope the People’s Association can review this restriction of allowing all MPs to use such facility.

Currently, majority of the MP will conduct their MPS from their Party’s Branch office which at time, can be some 3KM away from where the residents are staying; or in Opposition held Ward, the MPS is been conducted in a make shift void deck area.

In my view, this is not dignify and certainly lack of due respect for all Singaporean, and to the Rightly Honourable MP, if I may say so.
