Sense And Nonsense by Tan Bah Bah
During a week when big issues were being discussed in Parliament – Keppel, HDB flats and SPH Media Trust – MacPherson MP Tin Pei Ling’s career path managed to hog the limelight. That was quite something. Why indeed?
“While she would make it clear that she was engaging in her private capacity and not as a PAP MP, there could still be challenges in carrying out these responsibilities, especially under the current circumstances,” the PAP said. It added that it “holds itself and its MPs to high standards of propriety and integrity. It is essential that MPs rigorously separate their public role as MPs from their professional and commercial interests in their private careers.
Grab’s incoming corporate development director is by now a toughened public figure. She has been used to small setbacks – including adverse social media comments in her early political career. Also, here I am going to guess. Quite a number of flats in MacPherson are around 57 years old, meaning with 42 years lease left. There is much work to be done. Besides, those Paya Lebar Way residents, who voted against improvements for their flats the last time, cannot postpone the inevitable forever.
