Give government parliamentary committees more teeth
The Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) system was set up in 1987. Each GPC comprises People's Action Party MPs who scrutinise the policies of a specific ministry.
However, after the 1991 election, the standing of the GPCs appears to have dropped.
I call on the Government to grant GPCs more teeth and allow opposition MPs, Non-Constituency MPs and Nominated MPs the chance to sit in different GPCs and lend different perspectives to government policies.
