Dear editors,
I’m writing in not to complain but to express my feelings for Singaporeans after what I saw last night at ‘meet the people’s session’ with BG Tan Chuan Jin.
1st incident
Last night they issued up to 200 Q numbers. And I saw grassroots members helping their friends or relatives cutting the Q. With more than 100 over Singaporeans waiting in front of them, they managed to have priority just because their relatives or friends is a grassroots member. Shouldn’t it be on a first come first serve basis? What’s the point of Q-ing up then ?
2nd incident
We saw an old man being chased away during the session by a ‘Mr Huang’ who claimed that he was the IC of the ‘meet the people’s session’. What happened was that the old man had been Q-ing for almost 3 hours before he got the chance to register. They told him he stayed in ‘LORONG AH SOO’ and was not under the GRC of BG Tan. I believed BG Tan wasn’t aware of this incident.
Mr Huang shouted in front of all the residents waiting along the void deck in Chinese, “I’m the in-charge here. Mr Tan Chuan Jin doesn’t wish to see you today because you don’t belong here. You should go to your GRC MP. And even if you go to AMK to see PM LEE, they will tell you the same thing.”
Yes we know BG Tan is the MP for Marine Parade GRC but does that mean that he is only appointed to serve the residents there and not any other Singaporeans? Shouldn’t we give the old man a chance to see what he wanted to say rather than chase him away, considering the fact that the old man had waited for 3 hours? May be he has an issue with HDB and needed BG Tan for help ?
Thanks
