I have great difficulty accepting that TCs should be trying to generate returns via high-risk investments. They ought not to be in that game at all.

Can only see the words in red from this pix. \"...so that residents do not have to fork out more money...\" Waaah, residents tan dio hor...

But it was how these things were in the past, it's not as if there was any financial malfeasance. TCs are political beasts, that should change, but not sure why people should be so surprised or kick up a fuss about how they are, when it is plain and obvious.

It is like romance - after some time, you get less romantic, less emo, and more realistic

Not trying to side WP, but based on the time period when HG had to find a contractor to do Town Council work, who would dare to have anything to do with THE OPPOSITIONS? There would have been so many questions of ‘what if’…correct me if I am wrong.

I can't see that in this current environment, that anyone can be fearful of working for or being associated with the opposition parties. In fact, try being a PAP supporter these days.......juz kena hammered.

Actually hor, TCs in Singapore are little municipal animals concocted to divert voters' attention away from important national issues. :imanangel:

So nowadays, a Member of Parliament is just a glorified MCST chairman and seats in Parliament can be won or lost over how many child care centres there are in a particular constituency or how often the corridors are swept or when residents can get new lifts. :please:

In the bad old days when TCs were really political beasts, we had municipal elections. Just imagine that. How horrifying! Who in the world holds local/municipal/town council elections?! :shock:

Then I think they should be more efficient and competitive... One of the lifts at my place has been spoilt for almost a year... :razz: I can accept moderate-risk investments but not high-risk ones, which can result in actual losses.

Ya, that's why I am bringing this up - we are using today's context to discuss how contractors were appointed. However, the political climate surrounding the time when AIM was appointed, and the time when FMSS was appointed was different.
