[quote=\"tankee\"]I do not understand on what basis some opposition parties are calling for by-election.


MM & SM are just leaving the cabinet, not the parliament. They continue to be MP of their respective GRC.

There is no basis

Those calls reflect their immaturity

MM and SM represented their constituents. If not for their presence, people might not have voted for them in the respective constituents. E.g. If SM had not represented MP, and more so with the less popular TPL in the team, there is a chance they might have lost to NSP...[/quote]you are right that if SM Goh is not at Marine Parade GRC, the outcome may be very different.

But SM & MM are NOT resigning their member of parliament posts, they are JUST quitting cabinet. SM Goh is staying put at Marine Parade GRC.

Confused.... :? :?
What's the diff between \"JUST quitting cabinet\" and \"NOT resigning their MP post\" ??

DaddyD,


Cabinet members form the govt leadership, eg PM, Ministers, etc.
MPs are just members representing their constituencies in parliament to represent their voices and vote, etc.
In order to be in the cabinet, one must first be an elected MP.

So, basically, now that SM and MM has stepped down from the cabinet, they are still holding on to their elected MP status.

errr...it means now GCT and LKY are of same rank as Inderjit Singh, Pritam Singh, CSM and......TPL :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

Hope Ms. Tin gets promoted in double quick time. She deserves it as an elected MP.


MP GRC residents voted for the PAP team. Electorate had spoken and found her with high potential.

Whether she rides on Mr. GCT is not an issue already as electorate had been given a choice.

I must commend you for your superb sense of humour :siam: :siam:

you can be an MP without being a minister

being elected as an MP does not necessarily means automatic become minister

so when MM & SM resigned from the cabinet, meaning they are not willing to be a minister anymore. however, they are still an elected MP

cabinet means the group of MP holding various positions as ministers of the various ministries, and the chief of the cabinet is the PM

not true.

as MM just said, the older generation has contributed a lot (to the party and to the nation), they must be looked after well (or well taken care of).... whereas some of the newly minted MP have only contributed liability to the party

Well, I do see that Ms. Tin has a high degree of preseverance. An old girl of HCI, she will be expected to mature within 3 years.


The above is one of the main reasons she was fielded. She manifests a can do spirit.

Very rare to find a lady of such strong character.

[Edureach]

Hope folks here have more patience with Ms. Tin. She’s going all out to serve the people of Macpherson well.


Though PAP’s selection method is not 100% perfect, they have been giving us good candiates all these years.

There must be strong reasons why Ms. T
