A good MP is one who:
- be present around his/ her residences as much as they can
- sit down, talk to the residences, whether its at void decks or coffee shops
- walk around his ward to make sure everything is taken care of
- is always ready to lend a helping hand to solve problems, whether is abt just housing, or even help to solve family disputes.

Those were the days before these MPs were paid millions. Today, they are too arrogant & greedy to bother what happend on the ground and called us lesser mortal. Do you still want this kind of MP?

Disagree.
Empathy simply means that he understands what you are going through, does not mean that he will do anything about it.
Simply put, a good MP is someone who works hard to make the lives of his residents better.

How do you make the residents life better?

By writing to the indifferent government for deliverance on some of their personal issues?

Or asking contractors do service the residents home without any funding from the state coffers even thought they paid taxes too?

 

[Frankiestine]

A good MP, must always remember,

VOTED BY THE PEOPLE TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE..

But how come our MPs seems to be the other way round??

 

[scroobal]

MPs have 2 major functions;
1) Represent the needs of his constituents in parliament
2) Work for the good of this country in parliament.

MPs, should
1) should stand for elections as an individuals
2) should not accept appointments in corporate boards unless they were in it prior to becoming an MP.
3) should declare his assets
4) should place his assets in a blind trust if taking up a political office
5) not be running town councils
