Politicians not living in their constituency is not a problem. It isn't even a symptom let along the cause of the problem.
The symptoms we don't like are that PAP MPs are not working for their constituents but rather working for the PAP. As time has pasesed us the divide between the PAP and the people obviously widens to the point we are at today.
The problem is the PAP. We vote out the PAP and we won't even have to worry if an MP lives in Orchard but makes the effort and time to visit the people to understand their issues and is working for the people.
Beside, Singapore is so small and it doesn't take much time to travel from one point to another. Having said that, it may be wise for politicians to choose areas that are close to them.
