Should Cabinet ministers be freed from municipal duties so they can focus on managing their ministries?

I disagree with the suggestion. The purpose of electing an MP is so that residents can air their issues through Meet-the-People sessions and MPs can bring the issues to Parliament for debate.

MPs and ministers should not manage town councils. Leave it to the experts, just like how, for example, condominiums are managed by qualified agencies.

Ministers should be experts and be fully involved in the ministries they represent. A health ministry should be handled by someone with a health background, and an education ministry should be led by someone with formal education training.

If we talk about our ministers being a league of CEOs, then we should look at private-sector CEOs for how they lead firms based on their experience. When that becomes the case, municipal duties should then be removed from ministers.

Should doctors place patients' health and well-being over the patients' desires? How can both parties exercise their beliefs in the consultation room?

Ultimately, it boils down to doctor-patient communication: Doctors need to convince their patients to adopt healthier habits and lifestyles, without being haughty and imposing, while patients need to understand that most doctors mean well.

The patients know their bodies best. Doctors must listen to their patients with keen ears and prescribe drugs as a last resort.

Advising patients to eat healthier is a better alternative to drugs... Doctors and patients must work in tandem.
