Who's best for job of civil servant and MP?



This is today's headline in the news.

We didn't go beyond reading the headlines.

For MPs, we've always known that we want someone down to earth.

So far, there has always seem to be some sort of a barrier, no matter which MP we've come across.
Perhaps they are too highly educated, and in the pursuit of higher education and a more privileged lifestyle, have lost traction with citizens whose lifestyle are simplistic.

Perhaps with their background, they've been exposed more to the higher corridors than to the HDB corridors, and come across as unapproachable.

Or just perhaps, they are simply holding too many other portfolios, to come across as dedicated.

Whatever the reasons, sometimes we feel that we are reaching out to someone high up in the castle, who may not relate to ground issues the way we have to live through them.
