You know wayang has come to a new low when you see an MP using paid work hours to cut ribbon for a TEMPORARY bus stop then posting the whole affair on Facebook. How come there was no ribbon-cutting ceremony for any temporary bus interchange, temporary hawker centre, temporary carpark or temporary toilet all these years in Singapore?

After all, how many Singaporean parents can afford to have a maid to look after their kids on top of sending them to childcare? That in itself will cost a bomb. And who can afford to drive their kids around while they go for meeting after meeting, and can still find time to drive home during lunch time?

The Chief of Progress Singapore Party (PSP) and possibly de facto opposition figurehead, Dr Tan Cheng Bock, found himself in a very familiar, yet peculiar position over dinner at a community event. He was seated at a table reserved for guests of the Temple, and found himself seated beside S Iswaran and Foo Mee Har, both PAP MPs for the West Coast GRC ward.

Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim was on his once every two (or four) years walkabout at his Nee Soon GRC ward when he chanced upon WP MP Mr Pritam Singh at the very same location also doing his walkabout. Now, Pritam is an MP for the Aljunied ward, but seeing as he is the WP leader, it was not a surprise to see him grace a WP walkbaout at Nee Soon.

I was recently refused help from a PAP MP to redress a grievance concerning CPF Board's preference on siding with employers in a labor dispute and am wondering if there are any other avenues to obtain help after an Aljunied WP MP told me there was no other and he's genuinely unable to represent anyone outside of his district though he sympathizes with my situation.

The first Member of Parliament under the People's Action Party (PAP) for Ang Mo Kio GRC, Mr Inderjit Singh, announced today on Facebook that he would not be contesting the coming General Elections and would be stepping down from the Party.

Former NTUC president and Member of Parliament Phey Yew Kok was charged today for offences that he committed more than 3 decades ago. He had been charged with 4 counts of criminal breach of trust amounting to $83,000 in December 1979, but had jumped bail and fled Singapore in 1980 to escape his charges. At the time, he also faced 2 charges under the Trade Unions Act for investing $18,000 of trade union money in a private supermarket without the approval of the minister.

3 students turned up for their graduation ceremonies last week at Nanyang Polytechnic with hoods that covered their entire faces. 1 of the students even chose to receive his graduation certificate on stage with the hood still on. The other 2 had removed their hoods when they went on stage to receive their certificates. The student who remained hooded is a graduating student from the NYP School of Interctive and Digital Media. The school director Daniel Tan and the prankster's fellow students were not surprised by his antic, however, as they said "creativity" is common in their school.
