<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->'We have 17 elected female MPs from PAP today. They enrich the debate in Parliament. They scrutinise and give inputs on government policies across all ministries, not just women's issues.
'I know from listening to the debate in Parliament that they've made a contribution. They add something different, not just colour but substance and different perspectives, ideas and requests...We will work very hard to have more women candidates the next time round.
'Therefore I hope the Women's Wing will keep up its good work and continue to support women to take an interest in politics.'
PRIME MINISTER LEE HSIEN LOONG, speaking at the PAP's Women's Wing 20th anniversary event yesterday
