u understand d part he said in bold?
Translation of bolded part:
Don't ask me. I don't know. You think they tell us everything they do? :rant: -
pirate:
Well, I still think you are.
No, I am not. \"I never denied doing this\" is a poor excuse when the reason why I never denied is because nobody asked me, and nobody asked me because nobody knew.3Boys:
pirate, I think you are splitting hairs. The MIW have never denied that AIM was owned by the party. WP was in no doubt either, so why the issue now?
If you are arguing that the MIW did not make a big public announcement through the press at the point of appointing AIM to manage the TC's software (in the name of transparency), then I think the expectation is not reasonable.
What the WP knew is irrelevant. What is relevant is what was disclosed to the public.
I don't expect MIW to make a big public announcement to the press at the point of appointing AIM to manage the TC's software. However, I do expect a disclosure statement in the TC's annual reports or financial statements.
Something along the lines of, \"The Town Council has agreed to sell and lease back the Town Council's share of its managment software to AIM. AIM is a company wholly owned by the PAP, of which all the elected members of the Town Council are also members\" will suffice.
And all this huge righteous outrage is over the fact that the TC did not disclose a known fact, one that was known to the opposition party to which it affected the most, and known to anyone who would have been willing to dig a little?
All this when there are tons of far more significant conflicts of interest out there with much potential impact than a 140k piece of accounting software?
More than splitting hairs, I think it's a witch hunt...... -

Yes.. indeed..
All this when there are tons of far more significant conflicts of interest out there with much potential impact than a 140k piece of accounting software?
And that's what the public is concerned about. AIM is the beginning of breaking discoveries.. The public must learn to keep their eye open bigger than before.. and ponder carefully once every 5 years.. -
Any public holidays..? :evil:

Wah seh! Interesting move!
WP withdraws motion to debate town council issue in Parliament
(source: http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Singapore/Story/A1Story20130110-394555.html)
SINGAPORE - In a statement released to the press today, Workers' Party (WP) chairman Sylvia Lim said that she will be withdrawing the adjournment motion to debate town council issue in Parliament on January 14.
Since mid-December 2012, there has been much discussion and concern about whether the 14 PAP- managed Town Councils had acted in the public interest in selling their computing and financial software systems to Action information Management Pte Ltd (AIM) before General Election 2011.
Despite various media statements by AIM and PAP representatives, critical questions remained unanswered, which led me to fiie an adjournment motion on 8 January 2013 on safeguarding the public interest in Town Council management, scheduled for the next Parliamentary sitting.
On the evening of 8 January 2013, the Prime Minister indicated in a statement that he had directed the Ministry of National Development to conduct a broad-based review of the fundamenta! nature of town councils and also to investigate the AIM transaction.
Given this latest, Welcome development, I believe the goal of protecting the public and residents' interests would be better served if the government investigation and review were to first proceed. After the completion of the review and publication of its findings, the matter can be raised in Parliament again as the circumstances require.
In view of these considerations, I will be withdrawing the adjournment motion scheduled for 14 January 2013. On its part, Aljunied-Hougang Town Council is ready to provide its input to MND for the review.

No lah…think since PM has already asked for review, they want to see what comes out of it and if there’s any new revelation BEFORE sussing out the details for the parliamentary debate.
AND need to set the priority right...at this time, I think they want to consolidate resources and concentrate on the by-election. -
I am just curious: How do we register a new political party? Is it like company registration with minimum $2 paid-up capital? How do they get their revenue? Any law that governs it? If political parties can own companies, where do they get their operating income from? …
