ChaosMyth 5th Gear June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 (edited) MPS are charged a proportion of the parking fee as they "do not park overnight or full day at their constituencies". LOL. Can they hire someone to do some logical thinking and reasoning before releasing such statement for their press releases? Or maybe just don't mention at all because it will backfire. Neither do teachers park overnight in schools. Neither do we park overnight at our workplace. Can pay half price only anot? $1 a day parking. Good lei... Elected Members of Parliament (MPs) pay S$365 for an annual permit that allows them to park at Housing & Development Board (HDB) car parks when doing constituency work and at Parliament House when on official business, the Ministry of National Development (MND) said on Monday (Jun 25). The amount is "a proportion of" the current HDB season parking rate, MND said in responses to The Straits Times that were shared with Channel NewsAsia. For HDB residents' first parking lot, the monthly parking charge is S$80 for surface car parks and S$110 for sheltered car parks. "The rate is a proportion of the prevailing HDB season parking rate since MPs do not park overnight or full day at their constituencies," the MND said, adding that the permit fee was increased from S$260 in 2016. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/elected-mps-pay-365-annually-parking-hdb-car-parks-parliament-10468334 Edited June 26, 2018 by ChaosMyth ↡ Advertisement 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheraytom 1st Gear June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 Why aren't they are charged the same as what all other vehicle owners do? MPs aren't suppose to set good example? Pay what you use and not getting special treatment. Not as if they are pay peanuts like some of us... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WangWang888 5th Gear June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 I also don't park overnight at my office. So will they come up with another parking scheme? $105 divide by 30 days divide by 24 hours x 9 hrs x 22 days since I only work 8 to 5 and five day week? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 These stupid MOFOS will say anything to justify their sugar coated bulls**t even when the rest of the world can see through the sugar coating. This is an insult to the teachers that are forced to pay parking charges for parking in school. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniquely_ad 5th Gear June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 Wah $30 season parking a month that’s cheap. MP’s are working adult too and their constituency is their office location, they should jolly well join us in paying the same price! No standardization? Since teachers need to pay premium why should MP’s be exempted? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DACH Supersonic June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 Want to charge this kind of parking rates for themselves, then charge the same rates for every Singaporean as well. Don't double standards. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrios Turbocharged June 26, 2018 Share June 26, 2018 My question is..is the $365 for islandwide or just their constituency? For example in a GRC, each MP covers different parts of the GRC, so how does HDB zone the carparks effectively? What about at the 'borders' of each GRC....if no choice so happen that that MSCP is full and the MP has to park across the road into another GRC's turf...is that payable at the normal rates?
