Members of Parliament (MPs) are supposed to be serve the interests of the people and to represent them in Parliament by speaking up for them, at least in most democracies.
In purportedly first world Singapore however, MPs seem oblivious to the concerns of the people and have time to indulge in frivolous speech not only in Parliament but when speaking to the media as well.
PAP MP Baey Yam Keng who entered Parliament in the last election through the “back-door” without a contest was rapped by netizens earlier for his most inappropriate speech during the parliamentary “debates” last week.
He had earlier promised to raise the concerns brought up by his residents during a dialogue session, but ended up speaking on the need to set up a “food museum in Singapore:
“Food is an important part of our rich cultural heritage – one which has been and will always been an attraction to locals and foreigners alike……The Food Museum could delve into aspects of local cuisine, such as ‘why Hong Kong noodles did not originate from Hong Kong’, and ‘why our Hainanese chicken rice is different from that found in Hainan Island’,” the Straits Times reported him as saying.

MP Baey obviously hasn’t been reading the internet of late about the unsavory comments posted by netizens about him.
In an interview with Shin Min Daily on 11 March 2010, he talked about his fear of cockroaches:
“Though I hate cockroaches alot, I will surely kill it if I find one at home,” he said.
He also revealed that he had tried to change his dressing style after becoming a MP to appear more “humble” in front of his residents, but stop doing so eventually after realizing that there is no need to be bothered with what others say about him.
Singaporeans are indeed “blessed” to have such “excellent” MPs talking about food museums, hairdos, extramarital affairs, bras and now cockroaches.
They are indeed worth every single cent of their monthly $13,000 MP allowance paid for kindly from the pockets of Singapore taxpayers.
