	Nominated Member of Parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) is an unelected MP that does not represent any electoral district in the Parliament of Singapore.
		The Nominated Members of Parliament scheme was introduced by Goh Chok Tong and approved by Parliament in March 1990.
		NMPs are appointed by the President for a term of two and a half years on the recommendation of a Select Committee chaired by the Speaker of the House.

		He admitted that the NMPs had no mandate from the electorate and were mere implements of the ruling party to assuage the lack of opposition in the government.
		He suggested that NMPs be elected nationally and not constitutionally to serve a term of five years as the current system of a two-year term was simply too short a time for the newly elected NMPs to learn the ropes.
		Being an NMP does not mean being non-oppositional or uncritical even though to a certain extent, it does denote being somewhat on the opposing camp.

		He said that in Saturday's poll, those who had voted against the government in the 1991 elections because of the rising cost of living and a desire for a stronger opposition voice in parliament were joined by a new group of first-time voters.
