MMM:
Hi MMM,
Thought I read somewhere that it will be Gerald Giam.
I don't recall hearing both of them speak or it didn't register as I was more interested in the hot ones. But I also heard comments that Gerald Giam is not bad so age aside, maybe from a competency point of view, Gerald is better???? I can't tell.
my 2 favourite people who I want to see in our parliament to covey the people's voices.
They know the grounds, the sentiments, the real situation and they have the eloquence and knowledge / information to debate if necessary, even better than CST and LTK.
pls see and judge Gerald, he is a great choice.

In the Straits Times on Thursday 12 May 2011, on page A4, “Cynthia Phua promises proper handover”, the following was reported:
“Aljunied Town Council is now managed by CPG Facilities Management, with whom the town council signed a three-year contract last year. CPG managing director Jeffrey Chua is the town council’s general manager. As the town council managing agent, CPG engages the services of other companies for services such as cleaning, maintenance and lift rescue.”
While CPG Corporation Pte Ltd is the corporatized and renamed Public Works Department, it is not apparent whether Mr Chua, as the Managing Director of CPG Facilities Management Pte Ltd holds shares or options in the firm CPG Facilities Management Pte Ltd (which appears to be a subsidiary of CPG Corporation Pte Ltd) or its parent.
Regardless, I find it difficult to understand how Mr Chua can carry out both his duties as the general manager of the town council, and the Managing Director of the town council’s managing agent.
Suppose Mr Chua, the Managing Director of CPG Facilities Management asked for a higher management fee, in order to deal with the rise in the foreign workers’ levy, would Mr Chua the general manager of Aljunied Town Council grant that request?
If the town upkeep is poor, and HDB blocks are dirty, would Mr Chua the general manager of Aljunied Town Council replace himself as the managing agent?
It appears that there is a conflict of interest in Mr Chua’s roles. If he receives a stipend or salary from both organizations, on whose behalf would he act? If he only receives a salary from CPG Facilities Management, how can he then act in the interest of the residents of Aljunied GRC?
What I find extremely worrying, however, is that this matter only came to light because the Workers’ Party won Aljunied GRC, and there now needs to be a handover. If the PAP had won, would this unhealthy arrangement have continued? Are there any other such apparent conflicts of interest that we do not know about?

So how to become Malaysia citizens/Malaysia PR? If cannot then have to prepare \"wheelchair/walking sticks\" for old to move in and out Singapore?[/quote]Why ?? yr interest is aroused ??
Oops, if u follow the discussion , my idea of \"money like rubberband\"Augmum:
[quote=\"Augmum\"]
actually by moving to JB, yr money will be like rubberband can stretch much longer .....a wise idea
ya, heard that too, singaporeans staying in JB.
poppy, some of the houses' prices (those not in the prime location) instead of appreciate , they depreciate........
i was offered to take over a semi D at FOC so long i take over the mortgage loan. :evil: :roll:
i am referring to retirement living not now........
regarding the Singaporeans staying in JB, yes, is an example spotted by forummer Poppy.
haha....of course u dun need wheelchair or walking sticks to move in and out of the immigration dept.
malaysian govt is not that silly to implement a policy which requires that......... :lol:
It is under the “Malaysia My Second Home” MM2H program.
It is pretty straightforward....
One can apply under the 10 yrs Visit Pass and u need not to give up yr own citizenship.
You are not required to have compulsory investments or purchase of a hse.
You can migrate to Malaysia with your spouse and children who are below 21 years old (unmarried).
A sum of few thousand dollars (the other time I was told ard S$3,000 )
is required for the initial lawyer fees and agent fees who process yr application.
Some info extracted fro u from the net.
********Malaysia My Second Home program, is open to all foreign citizens wishing to retire or reside in Malaysia on a long term basis.
It is fully endorsed by the Government of Malaysia and your immediate family (spouse and children) can also participate in the program.
Here are some of the key benefits of the program:
•\tYou will get a 10-year Visit Pass and Multiple-Entry Visa (renewable every ten years) which will eventually give you a lifetime easy access to the country (perpetual visa).
•\tYou can import your car or purchase a new car, tax-free and enjoy other tax incentives.
•\tYou can invest and own businesses in Malaysia.
This is like owning a second passport, or a second citizenship in Malaysia.
•\tYou can enjoy a luxury lifestyle at a fraction of the costs.
It is the cheapest and very affordable place to retire early. -
