Unfortunately full article unavailable online. The 3 page (approximately) article stresses Marine Parade GRC is a little bit too big... and may have the possibility of being broken up into a few SMCs. Article mostly talking about Braddell Heights portion likely to be cut away from Marine Parade GRC. -
My MP!
-
These 3 faces I never see them even in TV news until today's straits times came out!
LOL... -
it would be absurd if you didnt see your own MP.
They should be seen more on the ground and not on TV. Mr Seah Kian Peng has been on the ground and listening to feedback and taking action. Looks like he knows the fight is coming?
-
I see....
-
probably sent to some newly formed SMCs in the next election.
-
Later 2 GRC.... Serangoon GRC and Marine Parade GRC.

Mass reshuffling in the East i guess....
I got a feeling West side oso same... I think theres one MP now handling about 2 SMCs load.....
Pioneer is like one whole big SMC.... plus Boon Lay ward.... all handled by one MP.
And also Jurong being in 3 different GRCs sounds funny.... Hong Kah, Jurong, West Coast GRC... -

If you read through the 3 page Straits Times article... its "almost confirmed" a high likely chance the GRC is going to break up.
