THE ANALYST SG

Now that the topic of Ms. Lim taking the NCMP's post has come into the limelight, I was just wondering what is actually the difference between NCMP and other MPs apart from the fact that NCMP does not represent any constituency? Any significant difference?

Among other important things, does NCMP also get an MPs allowance?

Does an NCMP have the normal powers of an MP too?

Himbo SG

NCMP doesn't get to vote on constitutional issues among other things....

...which is really not much of a deal. With the PAP holding well over 2/3 of the seats in Parliment, they can change the Constitution as and when they like however they like. And they have done so often.

I remember there was once, i forgot which year, that LKY wanted to propose citizens above the age of 30 have 2 votes instead of 1. Rolling Eyes Luckily it didn't happen.

Next month they pass a new Constitution law that says election once in 100 years everyone also lan lan suck thumb....

....and you all know whose fault is it? It will be Aljunied residents' fault!!!

Inzaghi SG

no..no power at all...cos cant speak on the behalf of aljunied..

but she has the chance to voice in the parliment...

i think this will be a good experience for her...train her up in the parliment so tat pple will see her more prepared..den pple are more willing to vote her in next GE..

generally most voters agree there must be more opposition. but unless the opposition has good image n experienced, it will be hard to win over the conservative voters..

hope she works real hard...she has a bright future provided she doesnt make major mistake..

THE ANALYST SG

I agree! Razz

kaobeikaobu SG

basically a wayang pie sui post

Taiwanpolitics SG

say until so .....

yah i agree this NCMP is just a figure head .

Like ur president , he holds less power than the prime minister .

If prime ministor holds more power than prime minister , then LKYwould want his beloved son to be the president not prime minister .

my mother everytime tell me president is a figure head lai de .

monoslayer SG

NCMP monthly allowance only $1600 while a MP allowance is more den 10 times the amount

ditzy SG

NCMP is nothing much, but at least its somewhere, everyone has to start somewhere. Laughing

Himbo, what's the beef? Not happy, move to Aljunied and vote in next GE lah. Mr. Green

Think we need to differentiate between hypothesis and fact. We can hypothesise that PAP can do this and can do that with a majority in parliament. However, the fact bore out otherwise; as you have shown citing the 1 man 2 vote case. IF PAP is as you hypothesise, then LUCK has nothing to do with 1 man 2 vote NOT being implemented.

Stay cool, dude. Lay off Aljunied GRC residents, every Singaporean is entitle to vote as he/she deems fit. Respecting plurar views is essential component of political maturity.

Need a housing agent? Mr. Green Lets have Kopi one day, yeah?

Blue Dolphin SG

Ah.... possibily why she is not quiting her day job. (she promise to resign if she is a MP).

Is there no meet the NCMP session? Say in Aljunied somewhere? Time to start farming the ground....

^MaRcUs^ SG

haha...
Low Thia Kiang is no Chiam See TOng leh...
he wun like people bully one...
no worries

oxford mushroom SG

Because she has no constituency...Aljunied is not won by her. NCMPs are really second-class members of Parliament...they can make some noise, but cannot vote and have no powers at all.
