Anyway, guess the residents there can freely borrow money from loansharks w/o fear of paint and padlocks at their flat. :evil:

Less cost per pax is still more than zero cost er pax. The 50+ household do not warrant any spending on security cost. They're not office bearer.
Unless, you put all the Ministers into the same block.. now, maybe this can make sense.

It will never be zero cost per pax. The cost incurred for giving protection to the P is more or less the same regardless of where he/she/it is staying.

I would like the P to stay in my condo. I could then urge the MA to stop engaging any security for the property and save residents' $$$. Given that SecCom has an interest in ensuring the P safety, they can do their job and residents can enjoy the added security on tax payers' expense

Question remains as to why PM Lee 'stayed silent' during motion on EP: Tan Cheng Bock


n a response to Law Minister K Shanmugam’s post accusing him of engaging in “elaborate charades”, former presidential candidate Tan Cheng Bock said on Sunday (8 Oct) that his question as to why the Prime Minister “stayed silent” during the adjournment motion on the Elected Presidency remains unanswered.

On Saturday (7 Oct), Tan had commented on Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam’s statements during a parliamentary session last week, saying that Shanmugam made an “apparent contradiction” about whether the government would make public the Attorney-General’s Chambers’ advice on the timing of the reserved election.

Citing a Channel NewsAsia report from 2016 that quoted Shanmugam as saying “Once we get the advice, we will send it out”, Tan noted that the minister had told the House last Tuesday (3 Oct) that, as a general rule, the government does not publish legal opinions that it gets.

Tan said that the report “appears to have words opposite to what the Minister mentioned”, and asked if the minister would “explain to Singaporeans his apparent contradiction”.

Shanmugam responded on Sunday by accusing Tan of “splicing and rearranging” his remarks. The minister also said he was referring to making the government’s position public, and not making the AGC’s advice public.
