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:

tankee:

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\" ??

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

[Edureach]

There must be strong reasons why Ms. Tin was fielded over her seniors. We just have to trust PAP which has been proven correct much more than wrong on many occassions.


Hope that PAP will remain the ruling party for many many more years…

Long life PAP. PAP PAP PAP PAP.
