Just like at some dinners, where these whatever are GOH, the attendees of the dinner need to stand and applaud.

Comparing to another dinner, LTK was the GOH. He came mid way (as it was his MPS day). He told the ushers not to inform, he quietly walk to his table, but mid way through ppl already realised he was there. He stayed throughout the dinner, and was the last table to leave! No airs, no pretence, no nonsense, no ppl carrying his bola.

Go approach him for photo, he gladly oblige. Offer him a glass of beer, he will drink (maybe half, maybe whole), etc. Completely no airs.

Not very nice to call other ppl 3 legged just because they are keen to meet the MP or appreciate wad has been done for them.

Thou for my case, I always make it a point to keep the door closed when MP come knocking..

Waiting... the question is, who needed who more? The one needing another, should do the waiting!

Without voters putting these MPs into office, will they have their HUGE ALLOWANCES? And if these MPs are also Ministers, their million dollar salary?

So who needs who more? They are voted in.

An extract of what he said then...

We are servants of the people: PM Lee
he said, "Never forget we are servants of the people, not their masters. Always maintain a sense of humility and service.

So whoever these whatever grassroot ppl that comes around asking you to wait at your door to meet the PAP MP, tell him, what LHL said.

I honestly dun think they really mean wait at the door la.
More like be ready so when the MIW comes, they can prepare to hammer him wif questions and complains and take pic, den the MIW can go on to the nxt unit.

Some ppl dun like to be caught unaware. And I think it's also to identify which are the units that are keen to meet the MIW?

Den again, need to see who the MIW in question is also..
