Nominated MP - Eunice Olsen

To some, it might be an old news. But to people like me, hey, quite new! I heard on news on the other day about Eunice being nominated as MP. Initially, i was wondering if it was really that Eunice, after some confirmation from colleagues, YES, it was her. Some may be bewildered by who is this Eunice? Why am i creating such a big hooha out of it? She is none other than former Miss Singapore Universe aka Host of Wheel of Fortune Singapore aka 孩 有 明 天 cast. A Mediacorp artise turn MP!!!! Quite an achievement for her. I am sure she will represent the people from the media in airing her views towards certain issues when MPs debate in the Parliament.

The rumours of artise are uneducated, low academic qualification is no longer true. Singapore's media field is transforming into a intellectual force. They do not only memorised lines created by script writers but have a say in what they think is appropriate. This is in line with the govt calls for more Singaporeans to come forward. I think by allowing Eunice to debate in Parliament is really something different. I understand that she did lots of charity and community work. That is probably the reason why she was nominated by Lim Swee Say to have a say in policy making. We shall look forward to Bernard Lim's partner making a stance in Parliament Hse in the near future!
