Questions answered from the official record of the Parliament of Singapore.

Unofficial. A personal project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Parliament of Singapore or the Government of Singapore.

Nothing here is an official record. Passages are reproduced from the published reports and answers are written by a language model from them — both can be incomplete or wrong. Always check the official source, the Singapore Parliament Reports, before relying on anything you read here.

What this site keeps

A short answer first: the questions you type, for 30 days. Nothing else about you, and there are no accounts, no cookies, no analytics, and no advertising.

Your questions go to a third party

This is the part worth reading. Answering a question sends it to OpenAI, which runs the models that rewrite it, match it against the record, and write the answer. A search does the same with your search terms whenever match by meaning is on.

That means your words leave this site and are handled under OpenAI's terms rather than these. If you would rather they did not, search with match by meaning unticked — that path is entirely local and nothing is sent anywhere.

What is stored here, and for how long

WhatWhyKept for
The question, and what retrieval did with it To show the working, and to see where retrieval fails 30 days, then deleted
Answers already written, with the question that produced them So the same question is not paid for twice Until the record is rebuilt, then discarded
Your IP address — Not stored by this site

Right now that is 34 logged questions, the oldest from 2026-09-16, and 3 kept answers.

Deletion is not a promise to run something by hand: old rows are removed when the site starts and again whenever a question is answered.

A web server sitting in front of this one may keep its own short-lived access logs, which typically include IP addresses. That is ordinary server operation and separate from anything described above.

What is kept in your browser

One value in localStorage, recording whether you last chose to show or hide the working. It never leaves your browser, is not readable by this site's server, and clearing site data removes it. It is not a cookie and is not used to recognise you.

Please do not type anything sensitive

This is a personal demonstration project, not a service, and it should not be treated as a confidential place to write things. Ask it about the parliamentary record.

Removing something

Questions age out on their own within 30 days. If you want something gone sooner, or want to know what is held, ask whoever sent you this link — it is their project and their database.
