Lee Li Lian just gave to her first baby girl on Tuesday morning and it has come to light that she apparently scheduled her baby's delivery for the day after her Meet-the-People (MPS) session on Monday night.
She has been a dedicated MP to her residents in Punggol East and even during her confinement period just after the delivery of her baby, she is going to be replying to residents and working hard via email and phone.
On Tuesday afternoon, she updated the public via her facebook page to say that Low Thia Khiang and Png Eng Huat would be helping her cover her MPS during her confinement period:
Announcement:
This is to inform that I have smoothly delivered my baby girl this morning. During my confinement period, both MP Low Thia Khiang and Png Eng Huat will take turns to cover me for Meet the People Session (MPS) duties.
Like always, I am contactable via email at lilian.lee@wp.sg or if you prefer to speak to me please call
6686 6221 during office hours and leave your contact details. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
Ms Lee's baby was delivered via caesarean intersection so she could pick the time to deliver her baby. She chose to deliver after he Monday MPS session and she attended her Monday MPS in the evening, working hard right until the morning she was due to have her baby.
Ms Lee Li Lian is clearly working hard for her residents and will undoubtedly be back at work as soon as she can after her confinement period.
Her dedication to her residents is admirable, much better than some other PAP MPs such as Mr Lee Kuan Yew who has pretty much permanently delegated him MPS responsibilities to Indranee Rajah and almost never attends parliament.
While Mr Lee Kuan Yew may be respected as a 'founding father' by many, isn't it a waste of tax payer money and an insult to residents in Tanjong Pagar that they are paying him $15k a month to delegate his duties to other MPs.
