It is cumbersome and inefficient to have town councils. It is another layer of bureaucracy that achieves nothing for residents but adds costs to residents. So, residents are paying the wages of PAP members. If the PAP wants to have town councils, the operation of the town councils should come out of the paychecks of the MPs.

The economies of scale that was once enjoyed when maintenance and care of the estate was carried out by a central agency was given up so to gain political advantage for the PAP.
 
It is cumbersome and inefficient to have so many MPs for a GRC. A GRC should have only one MP. We don't need that many MPs.
 
It is cumbersome and inefficient to have a President who ultimately kowtows to the PM. Do away with the President to save millions for the country.
 
It is cumbersome and inefficient to have the People's Association when there are grassroot organizations that are closer to the residents. Do away with the PA and save tens of millions dollars for the country.
 
Do away with the garbage in the cabinet & we can have a MP for every HDB block & every street for private estates. Perhaps that might just help them hear clearly the sentiment of the masses!

But... but it creates jobs!

But... but it allows for backdooring MPs!

But... but the President organizes Istana Open House!

But... but the People's Association embodies PAssion!

So what if tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are saved? The wealth never trickles down, and the money is not going into the pockets of you or me.
 
Can one MP visit 100k or more homes?

LOL. PAP MP home visit eh? Usually an 'advance party' of their porlumpar kar kias will go to your doorstep and inform you of their visit. And when they finally arrive, you're expected to open your door and greet them.

Don't WP MPs have an army of porlampars like you in entourage?

For a small City-State like Sg, there is no need for so many constituents (eighty ove?) Only needs 5, North, South, East, West, and Central.

Cheers!
 
it is cumbersome and inefficient for someone in winnipeg to be making whiney political comments about sg from the comfort of his armchair and keyboard tens of thousands of miles away, especially when his arse is not in the firing line. :rolleyes:
 
Town councils were set up about 30 years ago not for efficiency. It was meant as a political tool to show the constituents that opposition party did not have the competency to run it.

They had been proven right, opposition can't run TC as well as,pap

correct me if wrong.

parliamentary seats are fixed to population, not size. USA not like that ?

in UK, it is 1 MP to 40-50K people.

all government resources are at the national level. opposition constituencies have no money to fund any programs at the local level. local politics prevail. GRC another masterstroke. absolutely brilliant move. machiavellian policies. PAP are damn cunning and scheming to the people. nothing is ever truly done in the interests of the people. sigh...
 
They need to have all these levels, organizations, grand sounding titles, etc because after they satisfy the "needs" of the first tier, they need to satisfy the second tier, and then the third tier and then the fourth tier, etc, such that the fellow who helps them to distribute flyers and the free nasi lemak also thinks that he has a chance of becoming an elite.

Of course the reality is that he won't, but he will keep believing.
 
Cumbersome and inefficient? Take so much pay and still complain?
