Constituents visit their representative in the hope of resolving their various problems encountered in daily living.

These letters are usually accorded a higher priority by the Civil Service as they come from elected Members of Parliament, regardless even from elected opposition MPs as the Singapore Civil Service is ought to accord MPs equally and democratic as based and sworn by the Singapore National Pledge. Cases deal with a wide range of issues. The list is not exhaustive such as family financial problems (e.g. health-cost issues, jobs seeking, financial assistance), CPF matters, various licenses, HDB-related problems (e.g. subsidised rental housing, obtaining a subsidised HDB flat), immigration issues, and appeals for school admissions and school fee subsidy, neighbor and any other relational disputes. Almost all Meet-the-People Sessions start after 7pm and can routinely last past midnight based on queue, and are staffed by partisan volunteers. (en)
