MP CANNOT BE A PART TIME JOB!

Many companies don’t allow moonlighting.
Why then are many of our MPs allowed to hold so many hats, portfolios and jobs?
How can they focus on their part time MP job?
Apparently at the outset LPM was excited about the Chinese Temple with its columbarium. He did not anticipate the response and anger of his Fernvale residents. Maybe looking forward to such an ultra-modern iconic structure even. Until the wall collapses (pun intended). Then came the hastily scrambled meeting. And because of his lack of preparation, lack of background research, all these factors undone his ill fated session with his residents.
Like all the bros and sis here correctly said, he sat with the wrong group. He was perceived to be in cahoot with the authorities ganging up against the residents. He was also using the wrong verbal cues. ALL classic mistakes of what not to do in such heated confrontations. Worst still is KBW coming out to contradict him after that with a beautiful folk story. What a storyteller!






Why should we even expect LPM to even consider about his residents’ feelings on fengshui or taboos associated with a religious building right next to their residence? He is not living there, is he? Same applies to some of the PAP IB here defending rather self righteously with the authorities. Are you guys even a Sengkang resident?
So again, how can these MP even effectively represent the interests of his or her constituents given so much detachments? Don’t we all see conflict of interest here? Part time MPs have so many fall backs that it is easy to be insensitive and be apathy to the needs of his residents.
We must now call for ALL MP to be full time including opposition MP. The people demands this.
ITS ABOUT TIME.
MP cannot be a part time job!
