After the exciting 13th General Election was over, it wasn’t long before our pages were covered in serious political news. So when The Star’s managing editor, June Wong suggested to repeat something fun that the Star2 team did back in 1994 – to do a pop quiz on MPs – I was smitten by it.

I rubbed my hands in glee and thought: “Yeah, wouldn’t it be great to see if our learned MPs could answer the questions we threw at them.”
