:shock: This election is like a joke...They put ministers in the GRCS, then they step down. I think of the heated discussion I had a relative of mine who defended MBT, wearing all white, going all out to support him, and I wonder what she'll think if he were to step down. Petition like the oppositions do with TPL and CST? But anyway, he'll still be MP for her constituency...lastest............to be confirm soon

seriously, I am very impressed by PM's moves. It showed that he really listening now, with the retiring of WKS and MBT. :celebrate:
just short of VB and TPL. but it's a good start. Seems the loss of 1 GRC finally make the ruling party listen to the people's feelings and opinions. :snuggles: -

Interesting on the new cabinet… all the "lao jiao" retires… and 2 "newbies" became ministers…
So many ministers with multiple portfolios… meaning the other MPs are not good enough?
Hope this change is for the better… -
All the best, in our continual efforts to build Singapore to be a strong nation!
让我们大家一起努力建立一个更强的国家！
