2. Since d Directors hv declared dat they do not benefit materially from dis company, n I wld accept their word on it, wld it then be too much to ask CD to put on record d reason(s) for d company's existence if not for a profit motive?

Article VII (4)(v) of the PAP's Constitutions (according to PAP's website, although for some strange reason they title it under 'Party Manifesto' :rotflmao: ) provides:[quote](v) The Committee shall have power to purchase, take on lease or in exchange, license, hire or otherwise, acquire, movable or immovable property of any kind in furtherance of the objectives of the Party and to sell, exchange, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any movable or immovable property or interest thereon on such terms as may be considered expedient and subject to Clause (5) below.[/quote]I think it is reasonable to conclude that the reason for the company's existence and whatever the company does must ultimately be \"in furtherance of the objectives of the Party\".

I think I can leave it to Aljunied residents to decide if Aljunied TC is well run or not


I don't see any residents beating down the doors of the town council if the TC forgot to bill them their monthly S&C charges (which is mostly what this issue is about in the first place, right?)

Kinda overkill for LHL to sue

Maybe he want to kill 1 monkey as an example to the 100 remaining

Great leader, please don't need to get your hands dirty

You are wrong. It is Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Second Minister for the Environment and Water Resources and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs. Please get title correct. Otherwise may be considered rude and disrespectful. :imanangel:

Alex Au Part 6 come out already

The problem with this route is that it would mean hanging Teo Ho Pin out to dry, for anything less than a stout defence may leave Teo feeling damned by faint praise. His position would become untenable; he may choose to resign.

This would then present the party and the prime minister with a new headache: demands for another by-election. And, as I have discussed in a recent article, the party probably already has enough recruitment troubles with Punggol East.

It may not be visible to the layman, but I think the AIM saga is still keeping the PAP awake at night. It has become a ‘heads you win, tails I lose’ situation.

Words fr an old PAP hand, Dr TCB:

Doing the Right Thing.
Many a time we have been reminded by our leaders that we must do what is right. This is because we want fairness for all.
The recent controversy of town councils (TCs) allowing the ruling political party company (AIM) to buy over and manage the IT software programs of TCs, beg a few questions, especially when the company may not serve ‘due to material change’, an opposition ward.
This soft ware is developed using public funds by town councils. Is it right for the TCs to give up ownership in this manner?
For the good of all Singaporeans the administration of public institutions like TCs should be seamless when transiting after each Election.
So did the Town Councils as public institutions do the right thing, selling to a company owned by a political party with its own agenda?
People are also puzzled by why the software programme was sold to a dormant $2 company owned by the ruling political party. This company obviously could not manage and sub the job back to NCS.
Another question asked: the TCs have been successfully using the IT program supported by expertise from NCS, the developer of the system. Why introduce a ‘middle man’? Surely, if the IT software program needs an upgrade or redevelopment it is better the TCs, as ‘user’ should be working directly with the developer eg NCS. The TCs already have the experience getting the first software done.
NEXT, did this arrangement having the middleman raise costs for the TCs, which their constituents will ultimately bear? As AIM is now the owner, is it going to pay the costs for any upgrade or new software development? How much is AIM then going to charge the TCs, which now is at the mercy of AIM?
As TCs are public institutions, citizens are certainly uncomfortable with political party owned companies transacting with the TCs
Much more clarity and transparency are needed.
