SINGAPORE: Members of Parliament looking to build a solid relationship with residents must ensure that they are available when the latter need them, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday .

"And the residents must know that when they need you, you are there. And I think once you have that bond, it's a very personal one. And it's a very valuable one." MPs have to come to the conclusion that their work is"meaningful, satisfying, it's doing good and it's making a difference to other people", he said."So things moved much more slowly. You met people, you talked to them, and then the word spread in a coffee shop. Slowly, it would then get out. And that was one kind of politics; very personal face-to-face politics," he said.

He has spoken at seven Fullerton rallies, including the one held online earlier on Monday, when he asked Singaporeans for support to get through the COVID-19 crisis. "Your interests, your cooperation, your working together, your enthusiasm, your volunteering," he said.
