Does your MP visit you ?

Mine dun leh.
MP Prof Koo makes the rounds too
WHILE I am happy for Mr David Kwok, who was impressed by a Tampines GRC MP who makes house-to-house visits, I feel his remark that 'if only other MPs could do the same' was most unfair to the many others who have been doing so, especially the older MPs who have been at it long before Miss Irene Ng became an MP ('MP makes house visits'; ST, Sept 21).
One MP I know who 'walks the blocks' is Associate Professor Koo Tsai Kee of Tiong Bahru. He also 'stands in' for Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew at Tanjong Pagar, which means he does house-to-house visits there too!
My friendly estate cleaner tells me that Prof Koo sometimes gets up at the crack of dawn to check the conditions in the two wards.
While house-to-house visits are great and can certainly generate greater respect for an MP, residents too must play their part by speaking up more, especially on issues affecting their community, instead of just seeking personal gratification.

what kind of dream ?Originally posted by mahai102:i saw my mp in my dreams... -
You will definitely see your MP walking around, having coffee in neighbourhood coffee shop early in the Sunday mornings, if WP is around.
Don't believe, ask those living in Aljunied GRC and Yishun East. The MP of Yishun East starts to play football with residents after we form two footbal teams in his ward.
Well, whenever there is an opposition party working actively on the ground, the local MPs will be on their feet working very hard.

Frankly speaking I don't really care.

My MP always makes his rounds. But I'm always not at home at that time.
I must agree that the comment about other mps is not fair -
does our MP really care for us or really walk because they have to?
frankly i never see my MP walking around the estate. seeing MP walking around the estate is like catching TCS star on the streets lah. your luck lah. they dont walk around your area day and night nor will u see him buy kopi at your nearby kopitiam. most these MP dont even stay the area they represent. so even if he walks once a month , everytime 3 hour. not to mention so many blks he has to cover, how could we see him. not to mention the route are pre-plan and normally cover the most beautiful blks.
see MP also no use. they cant help you anyway. they are like counsellor.
whi bother he visit us or not? doesnt make a difference at all. most are busy with their any directorship post after they became MP, host a fulltime job, get a MP pay, further both their politcal and personal career advancement to care about us. as i mention, mosy dont even stay in our area. -
well hmm...
most MPs... u will see them whenever elections are near?
