My response to the WP’s statement on Town Council Management as follows:-
The facts are clear. Based on their own calculations, their MA unit rate for 2012 was $ 7.58, 50% higher than the MA rate of Tampines TC which is of similar size. Based on their staggered pricing, their MA rate will be even higher in the following years. In fact by 2014, their MA rate will be about $8.50 or 70% higher than Tampines TC’s rate. Why doesn’t Ms Sylvia Lim admit these facts?
I asked serious questions about the financial probity of the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, which Ms Sylvia Lim chairs.
Why did WP award multi-million dollar contracts to its close associates and supporters? No answer.
Are the Secretary and Deputy Secretary/General Manager, cum owners of FMSS, paid twice? No answer.
Ms Lim has not answered a single question I asked.
When questions were raised about AIM, I gave a full public explanation and answered all the questions by the MND Review Team. Parliament held a full debate on the matter and the Minister for National Development answered all the MPs’ questions, including from Workers’ Party MPs.
Why is Ms Lim reluctant to answer questions? What is she afraid of?”
