Why are the MPs of Marine Parade & Tg Pagar still deserve our tax dollars to provide them office in Istana & gurkha & body guards and staffs? They are no MM nor SM, nor cabinet ministers. If Istana provides office & staffs for MPs, then give the same to Hougang & Aljunied MPs.!
:oIo:
Because his son is PM ?
:oIo:
That's why I said, it is not about electing another eunuch to fill the hole in Istana after Prataman. It is ALL ABOUT EVICTING this 2 dead wood FROM ISTANA.
They are there, and they are the real persons doing what the Elected President should really be doing. And until they are evicted there is no real Rep Of Singapore President - regardless who or how you elected.
Phui!

2 ex-PMs continue to have staff support
It will enable them to carry out official work when called upon: PMO
Both men, who stepped down from the Cabinet in May, continue to make significant contributions to Singapore, especially internationally. -- ST PHOTOS: STEPHANIE YEOW, DESMOND WEE
THE Prime Minister has decided that the Government will continue to provide staff support to Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Mr Goh Chok Tong.
Both men, who stepped down from the Cabinet in May, continue to make significant contributions to Singapore, especially internationally, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement on Tuesday.
The PMO also said that the staff support will enable Mr Lee and Mr Goh to carry out official work when called upon by the Government, as well as their duties as senior advisers to the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
The elder Mr Lee, 87, was in Government for 52 years, including 31 years as Singapore's first prime minister. In May, Mr Lee also relinquished his post as GIC chairman. He is now its senior adviser.
Mr Goh, 70, served in Government for 35 years and was prime minister for 14 of those years. Previously MAS chairman, he is now the central bank's senior adviser. He also has an honorary title - Emeritus Senior Minister.
Both men had chosen to step down from Government in May to give Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his new team a fresh, clean slate to carry the country forward in a more difficult and complex situation, they had explained in a statement then. Both remain Members of Parliament.
