The parliament house lies in the central of singapore, singapore river. The former building was designed by former president Ong Teng Cheong, but due to space constraint a bigger building was needed. The new parliament house designed by Public Works Department has a chamber with around 100 seats, 170-seat auditorium, a library, meeting and IT rooms, media facilities, dining room, cafeteria and even a gymnasium.
The functions of Parliament include making laws, controlling the state's finances and taking up a critical/inquisitorial role to check on the actions of the governing party and the Ministries.
