Not quite sure how it is a waste. Do you have any details? You got to vote for it and somebody has to pay the bills.

Even if there were no by-election, that money would not have been used to 'feed the poor'.

At least the by-election created some jobs: stage and lighting, food caterer, police, media, photographers, lorry transport, printers.

The real waste of money is Michael Palmer having fun with his PA slut on taxpayer's money.

LHL should not have called a by-election. He could have saved taxpayer money by simply absorbing the constituency into an adjacent GRC.

As a result of his call, a further $15,000 per month is being wasted paying some WP Ah Lian who doesn't have a clue how to run the country. That's $720,000 over a 4 year period she'll be in Parliament.

No one blame Michael Palmer's $840,800 mangoes?

That is a world record price for Mangoes.

A $270,000 is well spent amount to put spurs on the hides, improve productivity, that will benefit the people. Throwing good money at over educated ones is a waste of money...doctor, so what?
