anybody knows the scope of the types of problems that you can go
to your MP about?
i know things like fines are there, so far problems with town
facilities and questions about financial aid
what about things like school admission and family problems?
etc. (i know they might not be able to help but would they turn you
away)
how does a meet the people session work?
(ive never been to one)
No need make appointment. Just walk-in during Meet-the-people
session. Bring IC. You'll need to fill up a form on what category
ur problem is in. Then u get a Q no and wait. You'll meet the
grassroot leaders first to elaborate on ur problem. The grassroot
leader will write a letter on ur MP's behalf. Then go out and wait
again until they call u to meet the MP.
There are many many categories of problems or requests u can
talk to the MP abt. I'm not sure what the MP can actually do except
write a letter of appeal for u. Perhaps for school admission wise,
MP may write a letter for u and send to school. But final decision
rest with the school. If it's family problems wise, He could direct
u to the right places for financial aid, mediation for problems
with neighbours, counselling, etc. So me, I've only meet my MP to
waive parking fines. keke
Now approaching election liao. MPs may suddenly turn very
helpful. So use them, use them well. Haha
