Workers’ Party MP and Chairman of Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, Pritam Singh, facilitates a marriage proposal for one of his residents. This is what he said about it:
“Sometimes, I receive unusual requests during my Meet-the-People sessions, for which exceptions must be made. Jun Jie came to see me some time ago to request for the usage of the Town Council’s billboard near Blk 117 Bedok Reservoir Road to propose to his girlfriend. Today was the big day, and I am thrilled to know that Mei Qing said ‘yes’! On behalf of the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council team, congratulations to the both of you and to your families and loved ones as well! As long as proposals do not involve unsupervised rappelling down HDB blocks or the like, the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council will seek to facilitate as many of such initiatives as it can!”
