hard to believe that MP called immigration and called who in ICA???
i knew that MP can call the Minister of State (MOS) if they know each other well...and MOS will in term call the Chief of Immigration Officer who then check with his own officer to check....then revert back and revert revert back...if the MP dun know the MOS well then he can only write letter to seek MOS to help stating the case as urgent and many repetitive times...ie. if MP dun help the voter/resident to succeed knowing that MP can expect the voter/resident to return many times asking help on this issue and thus also losing his whole family votes in the next election...
of course unless the voter's MP is the MOS himself...or the Senior Parliamentary Secretary (SPS)...then sure they knew who is the Head of ICA...
hope the above is clear...
I used voter = residents becuz this had to be a Singaporean in order for MP to help whole heartedly...
