Here is Mr. Murali already acting like he got elected. Sure sounds like he is the MP now, directing lift repairs and what not. Proper procedure would have been to direct Chong Chin Chin to the Town Council. But he specifically said that "we will arrange for the town council to look into this". How can a person with no position or any level of authority in BB (yet) make sure decisions? This fucker does not know how the election process works? In this case, Can Chee do the same things? Can Chee direct TC to fix all these problems brought up by the residents or will the TC tell Chee to fuck off? Again, an unfair advantage granted to one candidate, that is not available to another. But the PAP is so arrogant, they can't see it anymore.
This illustrates why he can do the job part time and still get things done far better than Chee.
Mr Murali commands respect. All it takes is one phone call and the town council will swing into action to fix whatever has gone wrong. People look up to him and will respond positively to his requests.
On the other Chee is a failed politician and a failed academic. There is no way he can get things moving the way Murali will be able to. He'll be bogged down because he will not be able to clear the backlog of issues that will land on his lap.
