Workers’ Party (WP) Aljunied GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Kenneth Tiong has called out a Facebook post which claimed that he and his fellow Aljunied GRC MPs, Pritam Singh and Gerald Giam, only hold Meet-the-People sessions (MPS) twice a month.
He clarified that the three MPs have four MPS a month on either Mondays or Wednesdays.
Falsehood: Kenneth Tiong
In a Jul. 2 Facebook post, Tiong noted that a Facebook page called “Singapore Matters” had claimed that Pritam Singh, Gerald Giam and himself only hold MPS twice a month.
“This is false,” Tiong wrote.
He went on to clarify that all three WP Aljunied MPs hold MPS four times a month across two locations to “better serve the estates under our care”.
Tiong also listed the timings and the alternate addresses for the MPS under each WP parliamentarian.
According to his post, the WP MPs conduct their MPS on the first four Mondays or Wednesdays of the month, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
Tiong explained that there are no sessions on public holidays or on the fifth Monday or Wednesday of the month.
“Residents deserve accurate information. We serve our residents faithfully, week after week,” Tiong concluded.
WP MPS details are also listed on their website.
Original “Singapore Matters” post deleted
The original post on the “Singapore Matters” page has since been deleted.
The page posted an update about an hour after Tiong’s post, noting that they have removed the original post after being alerted about the WP MPs’ MPS schedules.
“We will do a fresh post tomorrow to correct the error,” the post read.
According to a screenshot of the original “Singapore Matters” post shared by Tiong, the post made a comparison to the frequencies of MPS between PAP and WP MPs, claiming that the three named WP MPs only hold their MPS twice a month.
