The MP pointed out that while he empathises with everyone who turns up at the MTP session, he hopes residents would respect the volunteers present.
In doing so, residents can help to ensure MTP sessions are a “safe space for everyone”.
Mr Tan also stated that there are things that are simply beyond their capabilities. For such cases, Mr Tan said he and his team would be upfront with the residents involved.
