Braddell Heights could become a single-member constituency (SMC) for the coming elections. Personally I think my MP had a very good term, despite it being his first and him being one of the youngest MP in Parliament. I could see amenities that were previously non-existent introduced to the estate. Parks, sheltered walkways, platforms for the disabled and even proper goalposts on a big empty field and graffiti art on plain walls of HDB void decks.
My mom says that the MP will definitely win in an election. He is active in the grassroots and has the support of especially the older folks in the poorer part of the constituency. Apparently, my mom was most impressed when she saw the MP sent off a group of old folks on a short vacation trip in the wee hours of the morning.
It may be a simple gesture, but says a lot about the character of a young MP, whom you have to admit, won his seat because of a walkover and helped by the presence of a bigger political figure, i.e. SM Goh. Contrary to what critics and online activists would like to point out, that gesture is a simple example that the ruling party has not conveniently forgotten the older folks and the ordinary citizens of Singapore.
Ok now go easy. I'm not a socio-political blogger.
