Serious Oppies Spreading Fake News About PAP MP Indranee In Tiong Bahru Market Today!

Did my monthly walkabout at Tiong Bahru market today. It’s a very useful way to keep in touch with people and the ground. Many take it as an opportunity to give feedback and suggestions. People with specific appeals also find it helpful as they can approach me for assistance.

Many at the hawker centre are regular patrons living in in the neighbourhood but many are also from elsewhere in Singapore as well as visitors from abroad. I usually ask where they are from to get a sense of the profile of the customers.

Different people have different reactions. Some are surprised. Many are warm. Some want to take photos. A number even offer to share their breakfast which is very kind.

A very small number however prefer not to be engaged. For example this morning, I approached an older couple and introduced myself as MP for the area. The wife was friendly. The husband said he preferred not to be disturbed, a decision which I respected and hence smiled and moved on.

Somewhat oddly, a short while after my walk about, an online article appeared referring to this encounter and purporting to set out a whole conversation which allegedly took place after he said he did not want to be disturbed. Since I had moved on once he said he did not want to be disturbed, there was no opportunity for further conversation.

I have learned however not to be deterred by such online things.

Being on the ground and reaching out to people is what all MPs must do.

A circulated private Facebook post about how a citizen responded to the walkabout session carried out by Indranee Rajah, minister at the Prime Minister Office, has spurred the minister to respond to the claims mentioned in her Facebook page.
The Facebook post wrote, "...MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC and Minister in PMG, Indranee Rajah, was making her rounds at the food center crowded with people having breakfast and lunch.
She approached a table occupied by a senior couple having their lunch with outstretched hands introducing herself as Minister and MP.
The gentleman sat firmly and told her off "I don't care who you are and I don't want to be disturbed when I am having my meal."
Indranee than asked "Are you a Singaporean or a Malaysia,"
The gentleman replied "I am a born and bred true blue Singaporean and I am in deep thoughts about the second tranche of water price increase of 15 per cent and the 6.9 per cent of electricity tariffs increases starting today."
Watched earnestly by the crowd, she clumsily hurried away."
Within a few hours of the Facebook post being circulated in social media, Ms Rajah posted a clarification on her Facebook page, acknowledging that she was at the Tiong Bahru market on Sunday and that different people have different reaction towards being asked about their nationality.
She wrote, "Different people have different reactions. Some are surprised. Many are warm. Some want to take photos. A number even offer to share their breakfast which is very kind."
Mr Rajah further noted, "A very small number however prefer not to be engaged. For example this morning, I approached an older couple and introduced myself as MP for the area. The wife was friendly."
She, however, disputed the events that transpired after her approach to the couple, saying that as "The husband said he preferred not to be disturbed, a decision which I respected and hence smiled and moved on."
She then addressed the circulation about the above Facebook post and alleged conversation, by saying that there was no opportunity for her to have had the conversation with the couple.

The oldman is wise to brush her off, no point of talking to her and wasting one's time. If u disagree, just ask her to get our Coffin Fund ret in full at 55.

MP used to be some big F, time has changed. The stench of gutter politics hitting peasants in the pockets when economy is in bad shape should bring reality to the ground. FAP can no longer play the MLM game for asset enhancement, Coffin fund, etc

if this news is fake,,i believe its made up by the PAP so that they can justify implementing new laws to shut down the social media.
