"It will be sad if people vented their frustrations on other new Singaporeans who are here to find a better life. As a politician, I can stand the heat. When you ask Singaporean residents for feedback, they will complain that they have to wait more than 15 minutes for the bus. But when you ask new immigrants, they are happy that the bus comes in under 30 minutes."
-- Charles Chong, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP
“Frankly, I think you give me more credit than I deserve, but I’m very comfortable in a GRC.”
-- Charles Chong, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP, when a resident at Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC had suggested during a dialogue session involving Law Minister and Second Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam and some other PAP MPs that a single seat be carved out from the GRC so that his Member of Parliament, Charles Chong, could “fight solo“.
"Maybe it made lesser mortals envious and they thought maybe he was a little bit boastful...would people have taken offence if his wife (a senior investment counsellor at a bank) had paid for everything?"
-- Charles Chong, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP
But all these are nothing as compared to the majestic screw up of YOG and one of its honorable parent - Teo Ser Luck.
