The WP MP also responded to questions seeking his take on when the next GE will be held.
SINGAPORE: The upcoming swearing-in of Lawrence Wong as Prime Minister has sparked talk of the next General Election, wrote Workers’ Party MP Jamus Lim in a Facebook post on Friday . The topic has been part of conversations the WP team at Sengkang had at Anchorvale this week, he added.
“Many residents have asked if the general elections are round the corner, and relatedly, if that’s why we were visiting,” wrote Assoc Prof Lim, adding, “As I share with them, I’ve been doing house visits since we were first elected—with pauses during the pandemic lockdown periods—but, given the number of blocks in the division, it takes time before we get to every one.”He then wrote that some residents had observed that before the Sengkang team visited them, they had never seen their MP.
However, he underlined the value he finds in the house visits, writing, “I can only say that I cherish all conversations I’m able to have, and that—in addition to following up on their specific concerns with the relevant authorities—I also learn about broad sentiments on the ground, which inform the way I think about policies and the sort of interventions we make in Parliament.”
