Celebrating Singaporean - Lily Neo
MP Lily Neo
As an MP she may not be given enormous projects to tackle, so nothing too visible. But in her own ways she has contributed very significantly to the downtrodden and otherwise taken for granted group of desperate people in paradise. Without her challenging their cause, these people may still be getting $250 a month to get by. Now, not only that they are getting $290, they are going to get $330 soon! And people now realised how pathetic and difficult it is to live with that kind of money. Maybe some people may think that for such people, the money will be too much for 3 packs of maggie mee a day.
Now don't ever think that this is an easy thing to do. For raising it in Parliament, she was embarrassed. She took it quitely. She is a true champion for the poor and deprived, with a real heart. She is sincere in what she is doing.
Don't be surprised that one day she will be honoured as the new Goddess of Mercy of Paradise.

And don't be surprised that she will be honoured besides the God of No Mercy, because SM is talking about honouring some people and one person cannot be left out for sure.
pls think before you post.. as it is already difficult to be a good samaritan even without the snides.
she is deserving of the people's support and praise. let's give credit when credit is due. a people's MP.
cheers.
Gimme a break.
The only time some dumb fuck who lives off the backs of the people—those "non-famous" folks who work hard for their money—needs to be "celebrated" is when they leave office or die.
Only someone who is seriously mentally deranged would seek a post in society where they can CONTROL the lives of others.
Goddess of Mercy of paradise? Lily Neo. Contributed significantly? for getting an extra S$40/month for the downtrodden. Come on.... what a pathetic performance. What is so embarassing to highlight an issue as such in the parliament if this is correct and the right thing to do?
"... some people may think that for such people, the money will be too much.." - who in their right mind will think so.. the S$40 / month is PITTANCE!! only LHL and his ministers may think this is already too much to give, though not too much to force through the pay increase in the millions in parliament for themselves with absolutely no hint of embarassment
exactly. to be daring to take a view against the dominating view in parliament requires a lot of oomphs. imagine her facing a hostile bench that do not agree with her and talking down to her.
How hostile can they be towards her than towards the opposition members? They probably won't talk down to them but try to demolish them by any means. Spare a thought for the opposition members too.
opposition? where?
there are so many issues and devt, but did not hear a word from the opposition camp.
wondering why nothing heard.
yea why are the opposition sleeping instead of walking their talk?
Wow. The dividend payout does work wonders! PAP forever!
ok, everyone be happy with what you got. if they do not know what is enough and keep asking for more, someone may be tempted to tell them the brutal truth.
The tooth is that with the growth dividend announcement, the opposition has be demolished to the ground. May the force be with us forever.
