    Aljunied-Hougang Town Council Takes Legal Action Against WP Town Councillors Over Past Payment

    Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), which had appointed an independent panel to help recover improper payments, is taking several of its town councillors to court.

    They include Workers’ Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang; the town council’s chairman, Mr Pritam Singh; and its vice-chairman, Ms Sylvia Lim.

    The Straits Times understands that the legal action was initiated as part of the work of a panel tasked with looking into improper payments made by AHTC.

    Ms Lim confirmed that the three WP MPs were served with a statement of claim against them by AHTC on Tuesday (July 25) evening.

    “We will respond further shortly, after we have studied the claim,” she told ST.

    The independent panel has the power to commence legal action on behalf of the town council for overpayments and payments without proper certification of work being done, among others. This can include mediation, arbitration and other court proceedings.

    The panel’s other powers include making demands and coming to settlements on behalf of AHTC.

    The Housing Board had asked AHTC to appoint a third party to recover the improper payments made from town council funds.

    The independent panel appointed in February is chaired by senior counsel Philip Jeyaretnam, and comprises senior counsel N. Sreenivasan and KPMG managing partner Ong Pang Thye.

     

    A pre-trial conference date of Aug 31 has been listed.

    Besides this case, AHTC also filed another writ of summons in the High Court against FMSS last Friday.

    This was in relation to an arbitration case over a financial dispute emerging from the lapses at the town council.

    [Malaysia] Ibu Yang Gantung Buaian Anak Dalam MRT Dikecam

    Membawa kereta sorong ke dalam pengangkutan awam mungkin sudah menjadi kebiasaan, tetapi membawa buaian anak dan menggantungnya di dalam MRT ternyata bukan suatu yang lumrah dilihat.

    “Alahai kak, awat tak bawak tilam, toto skali naik MRT. Tolonglah kak, jangan bagi malu. Anak-anak tu kalau boleh pantau sikit, jaga harta benda awam bersama.

    “Boleh pula dia bawa buai sangkut dalam MRT. Keselamatan anak tanggungjawab mak bapa ,kalau la emergency brake, tercampak anak, confirm viral salahkan MRT… alahai…,” tulisnya di Facebook.

  • 6 Reasons Why Fandi Ahmad Should Not Run For Presidency

    6 Reasons Why Fandi Ahmad Should Not Run For Presidency

    Halimah Yacob, Salleh Marican and Farid Khan – three names that have not inspired confidence in their race to the Istana. Singaporeans are getting desperate to the point of encouraging presidential hopeful, Dr Tan Cheng Bock to become Malay. And then there’s Singapore’s favourite footballing son, Fandi Ahmad – a popular choice, even though we don’t see him qualifying as a candidate.

    Will Fandi make a good President?

    Here are 6 reasons why Fandi Ahmad should totally not become President:

    1. He is not educated. He was from a vocational school and has never graduated from a university like many of our very elite millionaire Ministers. Even though he became rich from playing football and his business interests, he is still not considered elite like our Ministers.

    2. Fandi doesn’t have the look of a President. He doesn’t have a back comb, and wear large glasses like our current President who is very Presidential and charming. When Tony Tan speaks, the room is quiet (because people fall asleep). Compare that to Fandi. Wherever he turns up, people make a lot of noise and mob him. How very un-presidential. Who would support Fandi?

    3. He is too handsome. The only President that was handsome was the late President Yusof Ishak. He will make all the men jealous. They will ban their wives from going to Istana open houses and National Day parades. We don’t want that too happen do we?

    4. Fandi is a sporting legend and national icon. How many sporting icons have served in public office? Sporting icons contribute back to the country through their grassroots work. Don’t meddle in the work of the elite leaders and the natural aristocrats of our land.

    5. For a prospective Malay President, he has too many friends from other races to be called truly Malay.

    6. Lastly, Fandi Ahmad is too humble. His humility is the stuff of legend, just like the man himself. Presidents cannot be too humble because they need to keep the political elites and natural aristocrats in check.

    There you have it, 6 reasons why abang Fandi shouldn’t run for Presidency. We totally don’t want a down-to-earth, humble, handsome and capable President who is Malay.

    Convinced yet?
