Really? Than China or India will have more than 100 times the number of MP? How they manage to fit all into the parliament (no wonder China have to be commun...

i mean, do you know what they're doing?

do they themselves know what they're supposed to do?

what do you need a MP for a very large area for?

redDUST SG

job creation, wealth sharing.

Singapore is just a tiny dot and we have more than 70 MPs. I am surprised to hear that a big country like US does not have that many as Singapore. These extra ones exist to suck more of our money.

t_a_s SG

scale down to 55 MPs to save cost, abolish MM and SM post, abolish parliamentary secretary post, appoint only one DPM, no need mayor, increase SMC seats and reduce GRC seats. The above are my suggestions to cut cost. Too much $$ is being siphon off

qlqq9 SG

Good suggestion. I have one more to add, change the PM. WE need someone capable, mature, intelligent and full of passion for the nation to be our PM.

Why change PM, because he is only a Post Man, just convey message

i have not implied so, you deduced so.....

why is a playground for the immatured?

einstein has alluded that the lab is his playground, so how do you explain it?

of course, unless your understanding of the playground is the stuff made of slides, ladders, swings, then i surrendered. you are the playground.

yoz...don't take it so serious

OH-FF SG

Frankly speaking, more MPs can take turns to shake hands with the public.

Black Aces SG

The Mayor post shouldn't have have been created in the 1st place. Is your local constituents so big that warrants a Mayor to look into the area?

Then, what is the point of having MPs for? It is akin to getting a Junior Secretary to attend to Defence Matters and then what is the Def Minister is for?

We already have PM, SM, and MM. The SM to guide the PM; and the MM to guide the SM to guide the PM (maybe SMM after LHL step down).

So it is no suprise we have so many MP as well. This is UNIQUELY SINGAPORE.

Lin Yu SG

maybe they are trying out minister vacancy for employment

Uncle Ver SG SG

When LKY dies, I think he will be also given posthumous "permanent" post, like ancient Chinese emperors.

Something like "First Minster". Maybe should run a seperate thread for ideas of what the posthumous minister position be called.

So when MM die, call "First Minister", when SM die, call "Second Minister", and so on?

balance_else_complacent SG

for each mayor post is created, does this mean more talented talent will be getting the high market value?

wow, so fortunate leh, these schoolars.
