FOR the past two years, they have vociferously championed topics ranging from the arts to the income gap, the plight of small and medium-sized businesses, and women in the workforce.

But a touch of wistfulness descended on four Nominated MPs when a marathon nine-day parliamentary sitting ended on Thursday.

It will be the last Budget and Committee of Supply debates for Mr Teo Siong Seng, Mr Laurence Lien, Ms Janice Koh and Ms Mary Liew, who will not seek an extension of their 21/2-year terms when they end in August.

All four pointed to a need for fresh voices in the House.

hi there


1. honest, who really cares about such "easy-money" titles.
2. toothless and totally ineffective.

 

[nutbush]

i am really surprised that they took the initiative to step down, i was told that many of these MPs are hoarding on mostly for their own sake. money, title, influence. this shows how gracious and depth of understanding they possess, indeed MP caliber unlike some of those cronies MPs still hanging on.

increase and implement minimum wage for blue collar workers. actually, i quite support WP's Png Eng Huat recent question, why are those 250 locals with crane operators licence not hired and they were told earlier that they can make minimum $4000 excluding OT. why did the employers not engage them instead they get the FTs? I will also want blue collar workers to be respected more than the white collar wolves. steady boh...?

One of the most undemocratic,useless and wasteful(of taxpayers monies) scheme ever.
Want to speak in Parliament, go for elections and get elected.

Ya, totally time wasters in Parliament. Only opposition members in Parliament would make PAP Govt sit up and listen.

 

[rushifa666]
