Some are calling on the EBRC to announce its formation as soon as all members have been appointed.
SINGAPORE: Critics in Singapore are seeking more transparency on the formation of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee as they questioned why parliamentarians have to file questions on whether the committee has convened instead of having the formation be publicly available news.
Opining that she finds this approach “quite silly,” former heavyweight Straits Times editor Bertha Henson quipped on Facebook: “That MPs have to keep asking. Just get a commitment that the public will be told as soon as it is formed lah! Rather than this begging bowl approach”. The EBRC plays a crucial role in delineating constituencies for future general elections based on population shifts and housing developments. The release of its report typically serves as a significant indicator of an impending general election.
