Source-derived summary

The 13th Parliament of Singapore was a meeting of the legislature of Singapore. The Parliament is unicameral – all Members of Parliament (MPs) make up a single chamber, and there is no senate or upper house. The Constitution of Singapore states that the Parliament of Singapore shall consist of eighty-nine members who are elected by the people, up to nine Non-constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) and up to nine Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs), following changes to the Constitution enacted on 26 April 2010. After the 2015 general election, 89 MPs were elected and three NCMPs were appointed (or, in the terms of the Parliamentary Elections Act, declared elected) to Parliament. However, Lee Li Lian had decided not to accept the NCMP post, which Parliament would later resolve whether or not to fill the vacated seat.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“List of members of the 13th Parliament of Singapore” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, members and 13th provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6615133. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2015 and 2016.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
