Dr Chia Shi Lu - the Talk Big Shit non-elected MP's instant "election" to Tg Pagar

[Confuseous]

Dr Chia himself admitted that he was not familiar with his GRC team mates, but said that he had experience working as a grassroots volunteer. When asked about his sudden elevation to public office, he replied that reserve footballers who trained with the first team were also capable of scoring goals.

The way in which Dr Chia was “elected” would come across as anathema to any proponent of the democratic process, since the very foundation of democracy is that elected representatives should be chosen by the people. However, thanks to Singapore’s skewed and one-sided political system, we now know that it is possible for the PAP to appoint MPs without the consent of the people.
