"I stole your MP!"

That's what my big boss said when he saw me.

Whilst not really surprised that my respectable MP has chosen to lead a team elsewhere, I can't help feeling a tinge of sadness. The guy I watched for since primary 3 is no longer the guy for my constituency. But you know what? He's still my MP, at least to me. To those lucky ones in a certain GRC, please treasure what you have. My MP really attends all funerals in the ward without fail, goes on his walkabouts when the GE is not anywhere in sight yet and deals with problems immediately when told and is always so friendly, whatever ward you are (I bumped into him near sub courts once and when I smiled, he said hi. Unlike a certain other minister who asked my dad which constituency he was from first, before ignoring my dad totally for staying in the neighbouring ward). And, for those who still do not know, Hougang residents had their lift lobby and corridor renovated, WITHOUT forking out a single cent. In fact, some blocks had the stop-at-every-floor upgrading for free too, before it was decided that all Singaporeans have to co-pay for upgrading..

So so so... if Aljunied-ians do not recognise a gem when they see one, please return my MP to me. And in the meantime, go Mr Low!!! Welcome, Mr Yaw!
