THE Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) system was created by the Government to allow for more diverse views to be represented in Parliament.

Throughout the years, the public has heard NMPs' opinions on a range of issues.

Unfortunately, they are not allowed to vote in Parliament.

The NMP system could be improved by giving NMPs voting rights in Parliament.

Doing so would benefit Singaporeans as a whole.
