When was the last time you saw your MP? Do you have a close relationship with him/her? Do you believe that they don't want to step down because they can't let go of their residents?

The ministry should take a serious view of the unhygienic living conditions there with the large elderly population who are susceptible to many illnesses.

PAP grassroots volunteer thinks she is big shot, intimidates and humiliates resident looking for help at MPS. She even calls police when people feedback to her about her condescending attitude.

Even though two months have passed since GE2020, the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) Chief Dr Chee Soon Juan has continued to walk the ground. He has been meeting Bukit Batok residents and listening to their concerns around the constituency. It is embarrassing how Chee Soon Juan is more in touch with the issues around Bukit Batok than some part-time MP who claimed he will "always prioritise" his residents.

Received this leaflet that gives the impression that it is from a charity organisation but is not. Carefully crafted words "Helping Hands" and "Hopeful Hearts".

Residents at Blk 116 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 have been suffering from noise pollution coming from a unit on the 3rd floor, and with the circuit breaker measures in place, it has become even more frustrating as many now have to work or study from home. Everyday from 11am to 11pm daily, that unit will blast extremely loud music disturbing the entire block.

Now is this not putting the blame somewhere else and refusing to take responsibility? We know that if this happened in a WP ward, the MPs there would definitely be taken to task and be accused of not doing their duty to ensure resident's safety, even though the problem lies with Town Council staff. What about Murali then? Would he be let off without a single admonishment?

Other pertinent issue raised by the resident was why the residents were not consulted if TC funds were used, why the TC hired the most expensive lawyer to represent them as if the case was strong, then even the cheapest lawyer can also ensure a Court victory over the WP, why there were no 3 quotations done to hire the lawyers representing the TC, and did the TC actually breach any rules and regulations in using the TC funds.

But therein lies an advantage for the residents. Why not vote in the opposition anyway? Because you will be represented by Opposition MPs in Parliament to fight for Singaporeans' rights, but you will still get served by the losing PAP candidates every single day like what they have been doing now. A win win situation for all concerned.

Former DPP leader Benjamin Pwee joins SDP for recent walkabout.
