DPM Teo, as MP of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC should be more discerned when his grassroots tells him that there is dirt cheap hawker food in his constituency. There is an old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Rather than trying to score political points by touting food is cheap in his constituency, DPM Teo should go talk to the hawker to find out if there is any story behind it. This is what it means to be “staying close to the ground”. If he is too busy, he should send his grassroots to find out more. But then again, his own grassroots leader, Ng Cher Pheng, instead of finding out more about the story behind the $1.80 promotional price, quickly put up a Facebook message, “Lunch only $1.80 @Blk446“, to inform DPM Teo about it without mentioning that it is a promotional price in the message. Are PAP MPs and grassroots close to the ground and do they really understand the ground?
