Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday, June 19, he would make a Ministerial Statement in Parliament on July 3 to refute the charges made by his siblings in the ongoing Lee family feud.
We have pointed out before that PM Lee's choice of Parliament as the platform to air the issues concerning the fate of the late Lee Kuan Yew's house at 38 Oxley Road is a masterstroke in keeping his siblings out of the debate.
As private citizens, both Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Wei Ling will not be allowed to personally participate in Parliament.
So, what is their best recourse now, apart from posting their side of the feud via Facebook?
Well, to share their grievances and concerns with their respective Members of Parliament (MPs) in hopes of the MPs raising the same concerns in the July 3 sitting, of course.
So, who is Wei Ling's MP?
Wei Ling is the sole Lee sibling living in the house at 38 Oxley Road. This means that she is living in Tanjong Pagar GRC.

These are her GRC's MPs: Chan Chun Sing, Indranee Rajah, Chia Shi-Lu, Melvin Yong, and Joan Pereira.
More specifically, the MP overseeing Wei Ling's address, is Joan Pereira.
Pereira holds weekly Meet-the-People-Sessions (MPS) on Fridays at 8pm at the Bukit Merah View area. This means that the sessions on June 23 and 30 will be opportunities for Wei Ling to meet Pereira before the July 3 Parliament sitting.
And who is Hsien Yang's MP?
Hsien Yang lives in the Caldecott area, which is in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

The MPs for the GRC are: Ng Eng Hen, Josephine Teo, Chong Kee Hiong, Saktiandi Supaat, and Chee Hong Tat.
The MP who specifically oversees the Caldecott Estate area is Chee Hong Tat.
And Chee holds his weekly MPS on Tuesdays at 8pm in the Toa Payoh Lorong 2 area. This means June 27 is the last MPS opportunity before the July 3 sitting.
With the Party Whip lifted on July 3, let's hope also that these MPs are taking notes from Hsien Yang and Wei Ling's Facebook updates, and represent their constituencies' residents accordingly.
And, as always, keep up with the Lees here:
