Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan will use a portion of his allowance to fund activities in Bukit Batok SMC if elected as MP, he said during the Constituency Political Broadcast today (July 3).
“I will set aside a portion of my MP allowance to fund activities for the elderly,” Dr Chee said, pledging to take care of residents’ needs.
He also intends to set up a trust fund to assist lower-income households in the constituency and run enrichment programmes for students.
“I will not contract out my responsibility to a managing agent. This will save costs for residents,” said Dr Chee, who intends to be a full-time MP.
Town councils may choose to hire managing agents to carry out day-to-day operations and maintenance of the estate.
Dr Chee expressed his misgivings, saying: “Residents end up paying an extra layer of costs when the MP was elected to do the work in the first place.”
