SINGAPORE: Denise Phua, the Central district mayor, stated that mayors serve a regional role rather than taking on the responsibilities of grassroots advisors or MPs. This clarification comes after the Singapore Democratic Party called for the abolition of mayor positions, suggesting their salaries could be redirected to social services. Phua emphasized that mayors aggregate district needs and foster collaborations to address issues effectively, citing initiatives like The Purple Parade as examples of successful programs led by mayors.
