Obviously, he has not been impressed by the wayang put on by Teo & Chandras with the supporting cast of Braying Bae and DisGrace FU.

Lim Boon Heng was right! There is no groupthink within the PAP ranks. This is irrefutable proof that the PAP can act as a counterweight to itself and Singapore need no other political parties in parliament. Majulah PAP!

He should call in the Auditor General or an independent auditor instead. An arms-length auditor will provide the conclusive verdict.

Anybody got the terms of reference for the Review Team?
Knowing how civil servants work, they will skirt very carefully around the TOR to make it appear that they have covered all grounds and yet leave wiggle room or avoid unpleasant things like putting your bosses on the spot!
Careers are at stake.

The Fool Minister should be slapped by the PM for her comments on FB. Thus far, no minister dare to get involve. But the Fool Minister thought she knew better. What has she achieved? Open to more criticism.

a wayang is meticulously scripted, directed

proven to be squeaky incorruptible corruption, i.e, it's all leegally safe and sound.

You mean AIM became Leegally binding somehow with the help of the law and PAP's policy. And Sylvia must die?

Hey, Baey YK is a hotshot lawyer he shld know better. Wonder if his Law degree is from India?

He will say the spirit of the town council act says otherwise and it's just an aspiration that they want town councils to be part of a public institution. Don't take it seriously.

You worry too much. That is why they are liberally staffed with foreigners! To take the fall and to play dirty tricks on peasants!

It's akin to continue piling on the hay after the horses have bolted. Meanwhile, just bolt the barn doors for good measure and make-believe svc recovery :rolleyes:

MND AIM affair investigation team real TOR:
Take your time to lim kopi with the relevant parties, and brainstorm a nice way to close up this issue without any criminal liability on PAP or AIM. At most recommend a review of town council act. Your children will be seriously considered for the very selective admin service jobs upon their graduations.

WAYANG!!!

You guys remember when GST was raised from 5% to 7% or not? Also, then a committee was formed to guage if there was any ABUSE by any establishments that took advantage of the raise to jack up their prices? Well, the result of their findings was NO ABUSE.

Meanwhile...

kopi price was raised from $0.70 to $0.90, an increase of nearly 30%
meepok price was raised from $2.50 to $3.50, an increase of nearly 40%...

...and MAS, MND and MOF were all plastering in the press that Singapore's economy is slowing down and we are entering into a recession and the global climate of terrorism has continued to suppress wages and hampered economic growth a midst a drop in tourism and trade due to the impact of terrorism.

This is similar to the Mas Selamat Escape Review. A deputy Director from MHA was appointed to the review team. Now we have a deputy director from MND has been appointed. They are not find anything adverse where their boss is concerned. Its like the Commissioner of Police appointing his Asst Commissioner to determine his performance.

The other point is that he calls a review and in the same breath claims that auditors did not find anything wrong.

Really shameful for a Prime Minister to act when a single blogger had to release 6 articles before it sank in that there was significant disquiet.

Dear Scroobal

LHL now faces his own HPL moment, but it's worse, the issue is no longer one of personal integrity and discounts but "party" integrity. TCB's comments were right on the dot, he could ignore TOC and Alex but TCB'S is somewhat the conscience of the old PAP and commands enough respect within that when he says "something" smells , it means that people within , are asking questions as well.

The town councils were an invention of LKY for the opposition to mismanage, It worked , do remember that the SDP lost and only Chiam and Low survived over the years, He and the PAP have not let of the town council wagon for the last ten years, I.e difference in property values, allegations of mismanagement, etc etc.

IF the PM was serious abt this inquiry it would have been external, Gerald Ee a retired Judge etc etc , the fact that MND is investigating and is reporting back to a Minister who is the PAP Chairman does not give me high hopes.

I can almost predict the outcome of the report.

1. No impropriety, though weaknesses and lapses in tenders. perhaps all tenders to go through GE Biz,

2. A stronger declaration on relationships and transactions between third parties.

3. A ban on general managers being managers of the managing agent.

wonder if TCB comments finally drove the message thru.

So what happened to Grace Fu, Baey and other donkeys who were mouthing their views.

I am sure that no one is expecting anything spectacular from the review but one has to show form and this guy is so behind. Like Mas Selamat, he wanted for the dust to settle but it was not to be as Alex is on No. 6 and Teo Ho Ping is still chasing his tail.[/QUOTE]

He was hoping that people have short attention span, but the online community simply did not let up. So no choice, got to come up with committee to sweep it under carpet. But I think he miscalculated again, because people now don't trust investigation committee.

Mas Selamat's case was a special one, because the person who screwed it up was Wong Kan Seng, the 驸马爷 of the Lees. You are NOT supposed to find anything wrong when it comes to royalty.

This time, because the AIM scandal may have a negative repercussion on the by-election performance, perhaps someone prominent might be punished, or at least publicly censured.
