MPS Christmas Gift Exchange

21 December 2009

He is a Singaporean citizen with a foreign wife. She is now 9-month pregnant and owns an expired visa. No airline will allow her to travel.

He was retrenched by his company and promised a repayment sum, which had not been paid. Heavily laden with debts and having to pay for divorced wife's alimony, he is struggling to tide through each day.

They are among the residents who came to see the Member of Parliament to seek help at the weekly Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS). Being able to listen to their woes, make them feel better, and pushing their cases to the relevant agencies make my Mondays a satisfied one.

After all the residents had returned home, MPS volunteers stay back late, way past 12am, to ensure that appeal letters are promptly sent out.

MP Zainul Abidin Rasheed reads every letter, before signing them. He would always be the last person to leave the place.

In celebration of Christmas, some of us held a Christmas gift exchange.

Jasmine does the honour of labeling the gifts for balloting.

Received a glue stick as a gift....
