On Government Surveillance on Citizens:
"What safeguards are in place to ensure that surveillance on individuals, particularly Singaporeans, is done only for legitimate purposes, like security operations or criminal investigations?
How is the data and intelligence protected to ensure that it is not misused or leaked by those who have access to it?
Which of our laws authorise surveillance of individuals who are not targets of security operations or criminal investigations?
And lastly, what independent oversight, like the Courts or Parliamentary Committees, are in place to guard against abuse?" - Gerald Giam

On Police Use of Technology and Social Media:
"Has the Ministry assessed what manpower savings or cost efficiencies have been derived from such use of new technologies, and how policing capabilities have been enhanced? What new initiatives can we expect, and how will the police guard against their officers being “de-skilled” by over-relying on technology?" - Sylvia Lim

On Checkpoint Security:
"It was announced in April 2014 that a Ministerial level Committee was commissioned to comprehensively review the security measures at the checkpoints and identify any systemic issues and rectify them. I have not read any statement issued publicly about what the Committee has found or recommended. However, I note from this year’s Budget Book that MHA’s operating expenditure under its Immigration and Checkpoint Control Programme shows an increase of 6.5% mainly due to enhancement of security measures at Checkpoints. May I ask if MHA can share any decisions or interim findings on the matter?" - Sylvia Lim

On Fair and Equal Deployment in MINDEF:
"The Minister was reported to have said that a person is deployed in a sensitive unit in the SAF based on his or her ability and beliefs, and not on his race. Again, I applaud the Minister and Mindef for their laudable efforts to make SAF an inclusive and open organisation that is fair and just to all Singaporean service persons. However, I note that the Minister advised caution over the fact that “people can be blackmailed”. While I agree with the Minister that we have to ensure that the people who are placed in sensitive positions in the military do not compromise our national security, I would like the Minister to clarify what kind of people does he have in mind and how can they be blackmailed." - Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap

On Singapore's Tuition Culture:
"I urge MOE to conduct a nationwide survey into the tuition culture...
Madam, is MOE not curious enough to study why parents are sending their children for extra private lessons despite having access to one of the best education systems in the world? I am quietly confident the results of such a survey will help MOE decipher this great mystery about our tuition culture and perhaps it will also help formulate more effective policies not just for the students but for the teachers as well." - PNG ENG HUAT

On SAF Volunteer Corps:
"I would like to ask the Minister for an update on the number of applications received and accepted so far, and the estimated expenditure for the SAFVC in its first year of operation.
I would also like to know whether deploying volunteers alongside our NSF, NS men and regulars post security risks for SAF? Will the security vetting be sufficiently thorough especially with regards to the period of time when the applicants resided outside Singapore?

The WP is no longer the same as my time.
WP is a Silent Party.
WP members only concern their $16,000 in their bank.
Even WP Yaw Shin Leong voted for PAP.
WP is PAP
Vote for other opposition party or void their vote in Aljunied GRC, Hougang and Punggol East.

Hi SengKang, Thanks for your efforts to update us. May you be well and happy.

You have posted numerous messages about the Workers Party being a "silent party".

Enough.

Thank you.

Met a bubbly elderly lady today, probably in her 70s who walked with a spring on her feet. She went back quickly to the back of the house and emerged with cold drinks, so refreshing on such a hot afternoon for house visits. Thank you!

Waiting to start Hammer sales with a cuppa in my name! In a market which I have not visited before. Should be an interesting morning.
