Addition of "The Honorable" to Members of Parliament

Understand where you are coming from with regards to Singapore's system having its roots in the Commonwealth, but the system has diverged a lot over the years. For example, we have a position called Nominated Member of Parliament, which does not exist under the Commonwealth system. So unless you are able to show that "The Honorable" is an official designation for Singapore's members of parliament, you are jsut making an assumption based on original research.

Hi Zhanzhao, thanks for the feedback and explanation. All sources I have referred to in this change are secondary. I have put up my rationale here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lee_Hsien_Loong#.22The_Honourable.22_honorific-prefix_on_Singapore_members_of_Parliament.2C_including_but_not_limited_to_Lee_Hsien_Loong.

On top of the further explanations I gave in the Lee Hsien Loong talk page, this topic has been debated by previous editors before, you can find it here. [1].Zhanzhao (talk) 00:49, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
