Meet the People Session is really for PAP to have an outreach to its constituents. For the politicians who is manning the Meet the Peoples' Session, as long as they are our constituents in the division, an extended hand is also given - sometime given in clenched fist, sometime open but never to push away a hand. Clenched because the constituents are asking with unreasonableness.
I have seen cases where a man of 50s asking for more social benefits as he claimed that the $250 a month is not enough for him since he has to smoke a pack a day. How is the case dissimilar to the middle class man asking to keep his maid and car. Only in magnitude but the same unreasonableness prevails.
We try to help each night a week, cases, some of which are very genuine and really in need of help, some of which are really mundane, petty requests and some totally unreasonable. We'll deal deal with them, one on one, case by case - with empathy.
