For those who wants to know the role and job scope of a mayor:
https://www.pa.gov.sg/our-network/commun...the-mayors
https://www.cdc.gov.sg/office-of-the-mayors/our-mayors
https://theindependent.sg/singapores-may...o-they-do/
Each mayor handles a specific district of Singapore. According to the Community Development Council (CDC) website, mayors also double up and sit as Chairman of each CDC in their particular district. Each council, consisting of one Chairman and between 12 and 80 members, is in charge of urban planning, zoning and other similar issues in their respective regions in line with national policy. It’s estimated that each district contains no less than 150,000 residents.
The CDC aims to build a caring and cohesive community, where they assist the needy, bond with the people and connect the community through the five CDC which fall under the People’s Association (PA), a Government Statutory Board under Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).
Basically these Mayors are to overseas the community that they were in-charge of, and repeating those jobs that the MP supposed to handle. What it says basically is more of a redundancy role to the already assigned MPs, but covers across a few constituencies, in my opinion.
