We sometimes spend a lot of time talking about various opposition and PAP party leaders that we sometimes forget about PAP MPs and it set me wondering. I wrote this below for another thread but decided this must be the worst MP. After years, absolutely nothing of value.
I have been following Tin Pei Ling rather closely as she did not fit the mould of Old Man or GCT or the early pioneers view of candidates to see where all this was going. When Dr Dixie Tan was chosen as a PAP candidate presumably to fill the gender quota she came with substance and delivered substance. She was also not coy about speaking her mind. So did many others, some bright and some not.
When it comes to Tin Pei Ling its a whole different story. A single child who continues to behave like one. I revealed in this forum in 2011 that her first decent job was due to a PAP MP Hri Kumar asking his wife to get her a job in her respectable firm. She was a long serving YPAP member and her father was also a long standing member. When her candidacy was announced you could see that she was not suitable as there were thousands of others who were more capable. She had not achieved anything meaningful prior to her selection and wondered her potential was.
In fact GCT was struggling on this and trying his best to sell her during the 2011 GE. In fact Nicole Seah stood head and shoulders above her despite Nicole being 24 years of age compared to Tin being 27. During the GE Tin Pei Ling also claimed to be a business consultant which could not be borne out by any evidence. In fact Nicole seems more mature, politically aware and much more capable even in the business sense.
Fast forward 5 over years after her entry into parliament and into her second term and she cannot even hold a candle to most people is her age group in any occupational sector. All her effort and time in these years has been her non-stop campaigning to remain. The state controlled press would do photo opportunities of her on the ground but nothing of value in Parliament or in policy. She quit her job and became a full time MP and then went on to do her post grad. She going to a SMC was not an act of courage but one of strategy by her party . Look at the demographics and the way it was carved out. If Joo Chiat remained and she took on Yee and won, You would not hear a peep from me.
She had 5 years to prove herself but did not. To be honest she is no parliamentarian or even a politician. She has not idea of policy or how to drive an agenda. She has become a highly paid full time town council social workers because I suspect she has no idea what else to do. And the party and the government has also no idea what to do with her.
She is a disgrace to the woman of Singapore, to anyone who stood for office and even someone who does a shift in factory. And like Chee Soon Juan, I will not mention about the handbags.
