Pre-election test – Name the MPs (Quiz 1)
It has been said that most Singaporeans do not know who their Members of Parliament (MP) are – unless and until they run into problems and see their MPs at the Meet-The-People sessions.
With the next General Election not that far away, how well do you know your MPs? For a start, do you know what they look like? Do you know their names and the wards they’re in charge of? For the ministers, do you know which ministries they head?
If you recognize your MPs, what immediately comes to your mind when you see their pictures or hear their names? Which issue/s do you associate with them?
Take this little quiz on each constituency and its MPs. See if you know the names and responsibilities (government departments and ministries they head) of those in the picture.
And please, do not Google them or ask your friends or family members for the answers.
Post your answers in the comment section.
At the end of the entire series of quizzes, tally your answers and see how many, out of the 84 MPs, you recognize and know.
Thanks!
We begin with these MPs. Which GRC or SMC do the 7 MPs in the billboard belong to, what are their names and what do you best associate each of them with?

Left to right:
Lee Bee Wah aka Pang sai woman.
Seng Han Thong – Kena burnt. They call him Charcoal Man.
Balaji Sadasivan – Last election promised affordable healthcare if S’poreans vote for PAP.
Lee Hsien Loong – World-famous. Only man who wants mee siam mai hum. Only PM who openly declares he wants to buy votes and fix the opposition. Only PM who forget to bow to German flag during Guard of Honour in Germany. Only PM who say he must increase GST to help the poor. So many so many boo boos.
Wee Siew Kim – Father of “get out of my elite uncaring face” Wee Shu Min. Defended daughter’s remarks in Parliament. After that, MIA liao.
Inderjit Singh – The candidate who gave rise to the joke that he has CCTV in his headpiece.
Lam Pin Min – The smart one. With all the screw-ups by his fellow GRC MPs, Lam Pin Min smartly keeps his head underwater – and collects his regular MP salary.
GRC is Ang Mo Kio GRC.
There. I get full marks! :)
Just for the fun of it.
AMK GRC + YCK SMC.
Left to right we have
Errrrr Lee BH who is known for table tennis blah blah
Ah Seng HT who got burnt
Dr Balaji whom ape just got to find out his REAL credentials and definitely no simple man
PM Lee (Singaporeans must be pathetically apathetic if we don’t know who is he)
Wee whose daughter outburst of “elite uncaring face” (may?) cost him dearly
Inderjit Singh?
Lam PM… one of the (original) P65 bloggers
It is AMK GRC (our PM’s stronghold) and Yio Chu Kang SMC (helmed by Mr Seng Han Tong) . But just don’t know the name of the 2 MPs flanking Mr Inderjit Singh.
“Mee siam my hum”, Lee Bee Wah and Singh.
The rest are unknown
Time for MPs to get into parliament on the single constituency ticket, not this GRC thing
I know that tall tall one! He is Li Xian Long, right? I know he is the son of the great Li Guang Yao. But I donno what else. What has Li Xian Long ever done?
Let’s see. The oni woman is the “Ah Hua” right? She is good at running table tennis associations right?
I don’t recognise anione else. If you got show Indranee Singh. I would have recognised her by her pretty legs and nice figure. I haven’t any idea what she’s done eider, but she very nice to look at.
i got no bloomin idea..but i think it that shortleg bloke (no not the cryin IDIOT) the other bloke who can’t sink @ all…
the rest of his team? why bother….
From left to right:
Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Happy, Bashful, Doc, Sleepy
Do I get a prize if I get all correct?
Hahaha…..having a good laugh, i see….
No Balaji is no more with the Health Ministry…. i think
the guy in the middle. of Lee and the one next to In- the- Jeep…never knew they existed….Why can’t they do something like the ping pong president to get recognised.
Have been reading the Men-in -White book….pretty interesting. Just a question…LKY was doing social services for unions and Mrs Lee was not working, taking care of LHL…then where did they get the money to run the family, with a nice Oxley house and car. mmmmm Author did not state.
I only recognise lee hsien loong….and is the extreme left lee bee wah of the table tennis fame? the indian is probably inderjit singh…not many indians in parliament *heehee*
The Flying Dutchman (business owner and radio dj clas 95) and another person was hosting blogtv program and in that show they gave an MP air time to the viewers about his life as an MP how he served his community.
I am sure the mp is well aware a camera man was filming him that day.
Is that candid camera?
It portrayed how he was serving the community.
I wonder why Mr Chiam and LTK were not given the same video recording and airtime?
I wonder where would that MP be fielded? Ang Mo Kio? kekeke Tanjong Pagar? kekekeke
From that show it gave me an impression tha prolly more media people may somehow become NMPs or MPs.
You think I will vote for FD?
No.

“Balaji Sadasivan – Last election promised affordable healthcare if S’poreans vote for PAP.”
What happened to him now?
not seen him lately.
The photo shows a bunch of team who lost 33% of AMK GRC people trust.
TOC has a good archive of all the main issues that happened since the last election. This is Intellectual Property.
I hope TOC volunteers could compile a youtube video for all to refresh their memories as a form of Pre-Election warmup for the citizenry.
This is useful in more ways than 1. New readers to TOC may not have read the archives as they started late. Video is easier to absorb and more effective. Use video to show the interesting comments, articles and load it to Youtube and any and every possible internet free video sites.
We need to reach out to as many as possible given that majority still have not read such alternative articles. Majority are apathetic by culture if not nurture if not nature but definitely not structure.
Picture tells a thousand words. Video Kills Apathy.
Thanks a million guys
I was having my regular evening vodka/pineapple juice before my dinner
But i nearly split my mid-section after reading the witty and hilarious comments on this thread
God bless all of u
Keep up the good work brothers and not forgetting the sisters
CHEERS

“The photo shows a bunch of team who lost 33% of AMK GRC people trust. ”
That was considered a landslide victory leh.
I wonder how many new citizens living in AMK now?
Given so many new citizens have come in since the last election,
i challenge any reader to tell me how will this affect the trend of rising popularity of Opposition?
How will new citizens affect the 33% if the principal of this GRC most likely have changed ?
What are the odds that new citizens , who decided to give up their motherland citizen and choose this country as adopted country, vote against the ruling party?
I am simplistic , am i not?
erm, by principal, I mean principal sum ie. the population size.
Who are the 2 guys beside Mr Inderjit Singh? Are they MP? Never seen them before!!!! You sure they are not random grassroot leaders? Really MP? Who voted for them?
Which one is the daddy of the Miss Elite Wee? You know, the one who supposedly defended his daughter when she revealed that she was unable to appreciate the difficulties of a poor engineer and told him to remove himself from the vicinity of her countenance. Which one huh?
I suspect most pathetically apathetic citizens may not know who is the ‘talk to my uncaring face’ or the man on fire or the table tennis or the hidden camera etc.
its really tragic.
Wah, many of you very good not only remember their names, can spell correctly also. Well done!
Me, only recognised 4 out of this gianantic GRC. For a while, i thought they represent the whole Singapore you know.
PM Lee
- every one sure know him, the whole world know him also
- i recognise him becos of his $3,760,000 salary
Seng Han Tong
- recognise him becos he kenna “baptism of fire”
Inderjit Singh
- recognise him becos not many people sing in the parliament
Lee Bee Wah
- even her face “very flat” becos towards the end of the picture still can’t escape my memory of her unsettled fiasco with the China table tennis coach who had said will come back one day to settle the matter, don’t know when, if come back during election time then we not only have election rallies to watch, also this drama loh
The rest? Are you sure they are MPs or not.
Looks like to be remembered… one of the most useful things to do is to go through “the baptism of fire” hehe…
I am so proud of my PM. Literally worth his weight in GOLD. If he had gone into the private sector he would have made his weight in DIAMONDS annually.
PM Lee, you must cash out! The gold rally won’t last! Then you will really be working for love of king and country ONLY.
One thing for sure, the PAP MPs have a common name…..”Stooge” !
Alamak! Who will not know which GRC they come from? LHL the daddy’s boy and his bunch of parasites. The most famous being Ah Lian Lee Bee Wah who created the greatest fiasco in table-tennis history when S’pore won a Silver medal at he Olympics. And the China Coach who was instrumental for the medal for his team was not nominated for National coach of the year. Sorry forgot his name.
This Ah Lian if she stood alone in a SMC, voters may think she is the Mee Siam mai Hum girl in a hawker centre. Heard she got a degree in Engineering or something. Real Ah Lian. Uncultured. Will never see the living daylights if stood alone.
The rest in one way or another piggyback on LHL to gain “infamy”. And poor Seng Han Tong (the man I met on a tour to Japan in 1989 with our family, because of his ball carriers grassroots’ fault became a roasted satay stick.
Have the guts PAP to revert back to all single ward system and see the end results.
I am very sure many of them will be slaughtered like pigs in the abattoir.
This is an article to warn PAP that they need to get us to know their MP… theOnlineCitizen.com has sunk low.
singaporeans are politically apathetic.
I would not be surprised if most do not know them or never spoke to them or seen them before.
though well educated, on paper, i wonder how wise can these 1st world citizens be if they lack Political Knowledge of their country? There is a difference between reading the news headlines versus knowing in detail the issues by getting invovled in discussions which leads them to discovering more depth about the political issues. Shallowness vs Depth. Political issues can be complex. How can citizens who lack detail understanding in political issues make the right voting decision IF they lack this knowledge?
1st world or highly educated is irrelevant when people lack detail political knowledge.
by the way #25,
I saw an advertisement of what i think is GetReal program about the foreign worker spotlighted on TOC.
I wonder was this a cooperative between TOC and the MSM?
May I ask what is the motive behind this Quiz?
Is this an advertisement to help PAP get more votes in the coming GE?
Part of PAP electioneering campaigns, started early?
For the sake of enlightening the people to know THEIR MP’s would the TOC be good enough to publish the names of ALL the present MP’s and NMP’s and the constituencies they are said to represent.
This is one way of EDUCATING the public to know the names of THEIR MP’ in the first instance.
Then the TOC can publish the names of the Ministers and the functions for which they are responsible so that the people will be aware of the Minister whom they should be approach for any of their needs. Singaporeans normally do not want to “rub shoulders” with the PAP for “economic” reasons.
Hope the TOC would educate the public to enable them to participate actively in the “QUIZ”
To be honest, the only 2 guys I know, 1 is LHL cos he’s the PM; the other is Seng Han Tong cos he was attacked twice!! It should be AMK or Cheng San or Teck Kee? Oh well, guess I ll get a F9 for this!
Please people, dont even use Ah Lian on Miss Table Tennis; it will destroy the good name all the Ah Lians built over the years in Singapore!! Ah Lians are supposed to be yummy & fun when you are drunk! So, I think the title of Ah Soh or Aunty will better describe Miss TT!
BTW, I actually thought the daddy of Miss Elite Wee was from Bishan GRC with Bargain Hen!
I only recognise ‘every trophy must carry my name’ Ms Lee “Ai Mai Pang Sai”, absentee PM and pro-local business Mr Inderjit Singh.
one of them i think is the prime minister. i think his name starts with Lee.
The one on the far side, LBW. Don’t know her full name, because i don’t actually bother to read the papers. From what i heard, she’s into table tennis despite not knowing how to play the game.
The dude in the turban. Looks like Davinder but hey, then again all turbans and fully faced beards look the same. Nothing racial here.
The rest are just pure randoms. Think i saw them walking around once sometime before the last election. They were talking to my neighbour. Peeking through the corner of my window of my upgraded corridor flat i was shocked when my usually grumpy neighbour managed to pluck out a friendly smile out of his arse. I did not open the door when they knocked. They looked like the Ku Klux Klan carrying the PUB logo . I do fear it when racists and religionists unite and take over the secular sections.
But simply put i think they are purely there to fill up the empty spaces in the billboard. Personally i would put photos of chilli crab, Mr kiasu, Fandi ahmad and Sundram’s midair bicycle kick in there if they really want to relive a spark of National Pride.
Ps. If its truly davinder in the billboard, please note that i do not have any assets and that I’m a lazy good for nothing couch potato who would vote PAP in every election. You don’t want to sue me.
Every vote counts!
Here is some help ..
I dunno MPs but I think I know the president. He has dark skin and his photos are EVERYWHERE.
He visited Indonesian and Malaysia not long ago.
Yup, he is MAS SELAMAT.
P.S. And the short MP that cause me to cannot buy a house. How can not remember? He is so nice. He know people like me no money buy house. So he make sure many other people no house. Then, I not feel so bad and paiseh. Thank Q~.
I’m actually quite thrilled to be moving to my new place which is under Ang Mo Kio GRC.
I love PM Lee’s GRC. I hope Slyvia Lim and Company come over and show them more love.
Hey guys, when the next election comes, The Ah Hua, Balaji and Wee Siew Kim may not be in Mee Siam Mai Hum’s team. They have caused embarrasment to him and may drag his votes further down.
If AMK GRC loses at election, would they declare martial law and void the election?
#25 and #27 have reminded me of a conspiracy theory that readers used to suspect of TOC especially when there was at least a writer or contributor or editorial (forgotten what role he played ) who was also helping ‘them’ in blogging.
still i urge readers to keep an open mind.
Anything is possible so we need to challenge and demand answers when require.
#36 ,
i concur. i guess the same also.
many in his team were involved in somethings.
If i were him, i would have people more in the spotlight for the right reasons like Baey who got a free publicity on cna blogtv which produced a film footage showing how well he serving his community as a MP. maybe also is that YOG guy? the gold medals won due to efforts by the athletes could also have helped him earn some credits.
I also wonder if Lui will replace George for HG GRC? Why i suspect is recently his faced got publicity in banners. Will HG GRC boundaries be changed? I highly suspect so.
just my kaypoh guessing nevertheless. take it with 2.93 cups of salt.
you people still living in Oblivion????!!??
For all you know, the game is already over before it began.
As revealed so many new citizens PER Year are among us.
So many PRs are pending approval citizens.
To give up citizenship is not easy thing for anyone in the world.
So, do they like the system here if they willing to give it up?
Would it be illogical to think that high chances these will support who??
The growth rate of the opposition is too slow and too small over the decades.
They tried but this does not mean the growth in support of them is enough.
While anything is possible, I am Pessimistic given that Most have not WOKEN up.
And yes, the game may have end even before it began. a master stroke. from one of our own.
sincerely
Morpheus
i dont think it wise for opposition to go for AMK. It belongs to PM Lee and the election department reports to him. He can render votes void and wins anyway. How do we know he won’t cheat?
given their style, does anyone think AMK will go down?
Very Sure: If AMK loss GRC they will put a ERP grantry at your Door step. Go to hawker centre must use coupon. Go to public toilet have to pay 50cents.
So make AMK very special for U, Never vote for the PAP. This is intimidation.
As for Oh Holy ; Remember in 1976 Toh Chin Chye (PAP) contest again Lee Siew Chor (Barisan Socialist)
the vote was over casted. Toh Chin Chye reply to the press, It the people put in extra vote. Very smart to reply. Over rule.
I know some of the people in the poster but have never really seen them in the neighbourhood mixing with the everyday people…..I think they are a new species of nightbreed, that come out every 5 years or so to feed……..and then go back into hybernation mode for another 5 years or so…. thats why we usually see posters or banners of them…..sometimes i see pictures of them in the news papers shaking hands and smiling …..but thats about it, I don’t really know if theres any contibution…..
if the fella loses angmokio, be prepared to see Wong Kan Seng as your next prime minister….i for one prefer the man who did not lose mas selamat.
You will find something more about Singapore, Temasek and also Chip Goodyear. http://johnharding.com/
Also disgraced Former Cabinet Minister YCT. http://www.yeowcheowtong.com & http://www.escapefromparadise.com/
A good read.
“33) ErniesUrn on November 24th, 2009 3.15 pm
Here is some help ..
http://www.singapore-elections.com/parl-2006-ge/”
Thanks to No.33 EmiesUm for the small help. But then that is not enough because the “Quiz” is about the names of the MP’s and the name of Ministers and their duties.
Would someone help now?
Inderjit Singh also won some lawsuit against, and obtained some compensation from, Andrew Kuan (the person who wanted to run the presidential election).
Balaji Sadasivan also said that said was that during the GE, audio and video podcasting “of explicitly political content” and using podcasting for election advertising, is not allowed.
i wonder
does any of you know
what mechanism ensures the integrity of the votes and the counting?
should FBI / CIA or GI Joes of National Guards be called on to assist in this aspect so as to have peace of mind for all?
No one talks about Ang Mo Kio hub? Quite happening leh. Can win PM votes or not?
The elections have no credibility…the GRC thing is unfair, and we dont even know most of the PAP MPs. It is like, putting your friend with no popularity as a team and let him become MP…
Restore the Single Ward style, make elections fair and ask a international common wealth country to be a judge….(dreaming)
to me, all of them kana sai…….
Oh, my dear who motivate the motivator, this is a game called “elimination”, since the miw have tch as the dpm now and, he is younger than lhl, so, sinaporeans have an experience minister of pm capablity in office, that’s to say, the pertaining coming general election, we can eliminate amk grc to the oppositions, because tch can lead the miw team without any hestiations! now you understand, my dear “unpretentous-man/woman”!
i know there is pm,
table tennis lady,
yeo chu kang mp,
The 7 people in the photos are
Larry,curly,moe…larry,curly moe and Larry.
The 7 stooges.
After 56 of comment, no body said about to unseat these PaP ellistes. Make it one go! Cantonese said “Woh Siang Kew Kia” one go! Finish them off ibn solid!
Lam Pin Min (if spelt correctly) -
Radin Mas CCMC’s Member before the GE, supposed to be MP for Radin Mas (rumours).
Well, u know, things changed very fast.
My comment was deleted .
I said due to so many more new citizens, the small rise in number of native citizens supporting the opposition would be insufficient to result in the opposition winning more seats.
I wonder why The Online Citizen silenced my voice?
I thought you said you taking a break?
MPs for ANG MO KIO GRC – From left: Lee Bee Wah, Seng Han Tong, Balaji Sadasivan, Lee Hsien Loong, Wee Siew Kim, Inderjit Singh and Lam Pin Min.
They are the fuggers who are my MPs. :P
I would be really surprised if they do not change the team.
All I know is that there is LKY, his idiot son and 80 stooges of MPs in parliament and two brave opposition MPs fighting for the people who do not deserve them.
#62 btan,
Its strange to me also that the opposition have been putting effort demanding for answers that are of public interest for all citizens and yet it is precisely the majority who consciously deny them wins for the last 50 years in a row.
This says a lot about these singaporeans.
I declare that i am not proud of them.
I was born here not because of a choice I made.
I cannot understand why majority singaporeans prefer not to have opposition strong enough to get us the answers of public interest.
There is simply no logic .
To those who, having read my comments, dislike/disagree with me for what i said,i tell you, don’t worry, i am trying hard to get out of your way. I am trying very hard to unplug from this system. Tahan a bit more of me.
peace
Pre-election test – Name your MPs (Quiz 2) | The Online Citizen
[...] Have a look at the following picture. Which GRC or SMC do the 5 MPs in the picture belong to, what are their names and what do you best associate each of them with? Take Quiz 1 here. [...]
@63) Karma went on Exile on November 25th, 2009 10.13 pm
My answers were already posted in reply to Bryan Caplan’s article on why so few opposition were voted in.
http://theonlinecitizen.com/2009/11/two-paradoxes-of-singaporean-political-economy/#comments
The people who do not deserve opposition are those who keep criticising them for not doing more, saying they have no alternative ideas, etc…and at the same time complain about the PAP system.
There is a group of people who has been loyal supporters of opposition but unfortunately tyrannically suppressed by the ignorant and undeserving majority. Good examples are the majority opposition voters in Potong Pasir and Hougang. These people embody the true spirit of Singapore : brave, incorruptible and resilient.
you think i got nothing better to do than know them… get out of my elite uncaring face … i can only remember the old man & lady that have to go pick cardboard for a living cos somebody out there refuses to take care of them … after they have no economical value ..no social benefits … i don’t want to be like them … helpless … I will work hard … to leave this sick place.
[i]Oh Holy on November 24th, 2009 5.45 pm i dont think it wise for opposition to go for AMK. How do we know he won’t cheat? [/i]
that you need not worry
our prince the prime minister is an ^HONEST^ man which is why he needs to be paid world highest..well beside himself..his father and his cousin in law as well
in his amk wards there are many many gangster wild dogs which come under the nice name of RC…technicalLEE they can cheat by changin the ballot boxes
other countries have done it..hollywoods have screened it…bollywoods even have coconuts leaves inside the ballot boxes as well…
you see..if amk loss..imagined all the RCs would be ^FIRED^ umemployed as well..where else are they gonna have free textbooks/parkin coupons?

That’s easy- this is Ang Mo Kio GRC. The PM’s GRC. I know the PM LHL, Balaji (increase hospital charges man), Inderjit Singh(doing wayang with James Gomez man) and Lee Bee Wah (best known for Table tennis fiasco women), the rest are Wee siew kim, Lam Ping Min (excuse me if I got the spelling of the last 2 wrong), whom are I have never heard so much about. Hence the incorrect spelling.
