SINGAPORE : Members of Parliament (MPs) have filed 64 questions for Monday's Parliament sitting.
Non-Constituency MP Lina Chiam wanted to know if national water agency PUB will put in place additional measures at Bedok Reservoir to prevent people from taking their lives.
Since June, six bodies have been recovered from Bedok Reservoir.
The latest incident happened on November 5, when the body of a Chinese man was found floating in the reservoir.
PUB earlier said it has stepped up patrols there and plans to erect signs at the site listing information on helplines.
Mrs Chiam also asked if the Environment and Water Resources Ministry will set up a committee to look into the impact on the water quality, as well as the psychological effects of the recent incidents.
MPs also filed questions on properties affected by the construction of the North-South Expressway.
Bishan-Toa Payoh MPs Zainudin Nordin and Hri Kumar asked for an update on the government's acquisition of the properties at Marymount Terrace and Jalan Kuak in Sin Ming estate.
MPs Zaqy Mohamad and Irene Ng asked for a progress report on the Productivity and Innovation Credit scheme, and how many companies have made use of the fund to boost their productivity levels.
Nee Soon MP Lee Bee Wah tabled a question on the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) rejection of the sole bid submitted for the Sims Avenue/Tanjong Katong Road land site.
She asked if URA's decision is consistent with the government's effort to keep property prices from escalating.
Tampines MP Baey Yam Keng sought to clear the air over the "indecent" Abercrombie & Fitch billboard in Orchard Road.
He wanted to know why the Media Development Authority (MDA) supported the move by the Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore to suspend the ad in September, and how MDA balances the differing views of the public on this matter.
Parliament will debate seven bills, including the Telecommunications Amendment Bill, Central Provident Fund Amendment Bill and Work Injury Compensation Amendment Bill.
Two bills will be introduced on Monday - the Economic Expansion Incentives (Relief from Income Tax) Amendment Bill and Statutes (miscellaneous Amendments) Bill.
