Debated in Parliament on 27 Feb 2026.
The following statement was made in a reply by the Leader of the House (Ms Indranee Rajah) during the Committee of Supply for Head F (Parliament) at the Sitting of 27 February 2026:
So, I do not propose to address it in detail, other than to say that this has been answered quite fully by Minister Ong Ye Kung in a separate earlier session of Parliament, where he explained the difference between the role of a grassroots adviser, which is essentially flowing from Government, and that of an MP. [Please refer to "Committee of Supply – Head F (Parliament)", Official Report, 27 February 2026, Vol 96, Issue 21, Budget section.]
*Written statement by Ms Indranee Rajah circulated with the leave of the Speaker, in accordance with Standing Order No. 29(5): (proc text)]
I wish to make the following factual correction to my reply given during the Sitting of 27 February 2026. My statement should read as follows:
So, I do not propose to address it in detail, other than to say that this has been answered quite fully by Minister Ong Ye Kung in a separate earlier sitting of Parliament, where he explained the difference between the role of a grassroots adviser, which is essentially flowing from Government, and that of an MP.
