GRC MPs will split work in Kembangan ward for now, hope for a new adviser: Seah Kian Peng
He also announced the expansion of a medical transport reimbursement scheme.
The four remaining Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC MPs will divide responsibilities for the Kembangan ward temporarily, awaiting a new grassroots adviser, as announced by Speaker of Parliament Seah Kian Peng on Aug 2. Each MP, including Seah, Goh Pei Ming, Tin Pei Ling, and Diana Pang, will oversee an area within Kembangan, with all of them attending major events.
Once a suitable adviser is found, they will dedicate more time to the constituency alongside existing grassroots leaders. The Kembangan National Day Lunch, held at Bliss Garden in Singapore Expo for about 900 attendees, saw Seah acknowledge residents' loss due to Faishal Ibrahim's resignation. Faishal, who contributed to public service and the ward, had resigned over a "lapse of judgment" in handling interactions with a female public member.
Seah expressed his desire to fill the Malay/Muslim adviser role and hoped the team would overcome this gap.
