Yes yes! Let the opposition unite and target him in 2016. He is really incompetent as a minister and I'm sure in the private sector, he would not deserve anything higher than a GM post and of course, he don't deserve his million dollar salary at all. How can he still turn a blind eye and pretend as if it's perfectly alright for an elected MP to conduct mps in the void deck. Opposition MPs are also elected by the voters! Taxpayers' monies should not be used exclusively in favour of the PAP MPs. It is a travesty of justice! Stinky and 3rd world dirty tricks., no less!

It's not a bad idea for opposition MPs to carry out their MPS duties at void decks. It helps create a 'siege mentality' among supporters and residents, and it makes PAP looks really childish, vindictive and bad.
The more the residents feel victimized by PAP, the less likely PAP is going to win back the Hougang and Aljunied.

HDB at least lets them there. If it's not void deck thne where
No No No. Have a proper office with aircon, basic office equipment, and a small staff budget. This is doing the work for Singapore citizens. Adjust the office size and budget according to number of constituents. For example, a single MP ward - maybe provide a 1.5K to 2k sf office with aircon, and basic office furniture (not talking about $500 office chair here), copier, phone.
Then give a staff budget for 1 or 2 staff to answer phone call, paperwork and an office expenditure budget of $10K a month to pay for utilities, stationery, phone bill, etc. Also partition the office for privacy so that constituents need not talk about their matters in public. Where is the dignity? Even if someone is very poor and in need of financial help or has issues with some hawker's permit, he or she should have the ability to bring it up with his MP/staff in private.

Void deck for now. Wait till they say it is an illegal assembly.

lianbeng your father say, Unlawful assembly – Section 141 will be amended so that an unlawful assembly is an assembly of five or more people whose common object is to commit any offence, and not just an offence relating to public tranquillity.
lianbeng you know or dunno?

MBT: Now that the opposition has won a grc, it is time to turn on my money brain and reap some tidy profits again. How about increasing the monthly rent of HDB town council to 50k?
Huat ah!

SINGAPORE : The town council under the new Aljunied GRC MPs of the Workers' Party will take on all existing agreements of the Aljunied Town Council, said the Housing and Development Board (HDB).
These include the existing tenancies for three offices.
The HDB released a statement on Friday in response to media queries on the handover of Aljunied Town Council following the General Election on May 7.
It said the Town Councils Act lays out the procedures for the handover of town councils after the General Election.
For Aljunied Town Council, the HDB has met up with the five elected MPs for Aljunied GRC on May 10 upon their request.
The housing board then discussed with them the procedures for the handover of the town council.
Currently, the Aljunied Town Council operates three offices that have been rented from HDB on three-year tenancies which will expire between November 2011 and May 2012.
On a related note, the HDB said one of the elected MPs for Aljunied GRC, Mr Low Thia Khiang, was quoted in the news media that he had to vacate the Hougang Town Council office and build a new office after he won the elections for Hougang following the 1991 General Election.
The HDB clarified that the office was not located within the Hougang single-member constituency (SMC).
It said prior to the 1991 election, Hougang Town Council had been managing three SMCs - Hougang, Punggol and Paya Lebar SMCs.
The Hougang Town Council office was then located in Punggol SMC, which following the 1991 elections was subsumed under Cheng San GRC.
The HDB then gave approval for a new town council office to be built at Hougang Avenue 2, within the boundary of Hougang SMC, to serve the needs of the Hougang Town Council.
The Ministry of National Development (MND) has requested all elected MPs for their arrangements on the formation of the new towns. These will be gazetted after the 14th day from the publication of results of the General Election, as prescribed by the Town Councils Act.
The MND and HDB are working closely with all elected MPs and other stakeholders on the formation of new town councils to ensure a smooth handover of town council functions for the benefit of all HDB residents.
