SINGAPORE : Workers' Party Chairman Sylvia Lim has resigned from her teaching position at Temasek Polytechnic.

 

In a statement on Saturday, she said she tendered her resignation on Friday, after more than 12 years of service.

 

Ms Lim expects her workload to increase as Member of Parliament (MP) for Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC), after the Workers' Party's win in the recent General Election.

 

At Temasek Polytechnic, she taught full-time and part-time students. She also co-ordinated continuing education initiatives for adult learners.

 

Ms Lim said that in the last five years as a Non-Constituency Member of Parliament, working hours have been spent on parliamentary activities, such as sittings and the occasional overseas trip.

 

She decided that it would not be fair to the polytechnic's management, colleagues and students for her to continue in her post at Temasek Polytechnic as an elected MP.

 

She said that while the polytechnic's management has supported these national platforms, she foresees the years ahead as an elected MP to be even more demanding.

 

Ms Lim said that she has mixed feelings about leaving and thanked the polytechnic's management and colleagues for their understanding and friendship.

Dat should be the way, full time serving people's need instead of holding multiple portfolio.

That's what I was thinking to myself when he said that he will be taking care of us for the next 5 yrs. I was wondering what was he doing at the MP level for the last 20 or more yrs? [sweatdrop]

Very fair and sporting move [thumbsup] Else sometimes got to have colleagues cover the normal 'day' job, while drawing 2 salaries, it's really not fair to others.

 

Ask your local MP to follow this excellent example!! This is the kind of dedication and commitment that we expect and want to see.
