SINGAPORE – The three incumbent Workers’ Party MPs in Sengkang GRC on March 29 assured residents that they will continue to be a voice for those living in the area for as long as they remain elected representatives.
Speaking during a town-hall meeting, MPs He Ting Ru, Jamus Lim and Louis Chua said they have raised concerns flagged by Sengkang residents in Parliament over the years, from the lack of coffee shops in the area to the noise from fighter jets taking off and landing at nearby Paya Lebar Air Base.
The MPs were addressing the more than 50 residents who turned up for the town-hall meeting, which was held at a multipurpose hall in Compassvale Link, near Buangkok MRT station.
The meeting is part of a series of regular forums organised by the Sengkang MPs since 2022. Called Sengkang Conversations, it is for residents to discuss national and local issues.
During the event, residents also spoke up on other municipal and national issues. There was, for example, a suggestion for necessities to be exempted from the goods and services tax, as well as calls for greater scrutiny over government spending.
There was also a discussion about how to resolve neighbourly disputes.
