In his response to questions on the Auditor General’s Office (AGO) report on the People’s Association (PA), Mr Lim Swee Say gave a detailed breakdown of the nature of the reimbursements involving the former chairman of the Admiralty ward’s Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCC).

Mr Tonic Oh, the chairman in question, had written and signed off on cheques totalling some $114,000, which were from seven reimbursement claims, to himself.

According to Mr Lim, two out of the seven claims were not substantiated with proper receipts or supporting documents.

One of these was the money for a funeral wake which a needy family required immediately.

Mr Lim said there was no supporting document for the claim but the amount given was “witnessed by a few volunteers.”

Is this enough substantiation for the PA to pay out reimbursements to Mr Oh – that the claim was “witnessed by a few volunteers”? Who were these “few volunteers”? Were they or are they closely related to Mr Oh? What are their positions in the PA or the CCC?

And how much was this claim?

Mr Lim did not say.

The other incident which was not substantiated with documentary proof were three claims for “workplans” retreats by the grassroots organisation (GRO).

While Mr Lim did not specify which GRO it actually was, it is presumed that it was Mr Oh’s own CCC.

The Straits Times reported:

“Four claims were for retreats to discuss workplans. Only one had supporting documents. The receipts for the other three, totalling $56,050, were misplaced but the CCC later verified the sums with proof of payment from the vendor.”

One would first question how much was the claim for the one which had supporting documents – Mr Lim did not say.

As for the other three,while the CCC later verified the sums with proof of payment from the vendor – which Mr Lim, incidentally, did not name – the obvious question one would ask is:

Why does it cost $56,050 to hold three workplans retreats?

That works out to an average of $18,680 for each retreat.

Where were these retreats held? Were they overseas trip? If they were, are these necessary?

"One of these was the money for a funeral wake which a needy family required immediately."

to vindicate himself one of these serious corruption charge,can the bereaved family be publicly identified in state controlled media? otherwise,just as good as plucking any obiturary from papers and claimed so mother's so and so neighbours in kampung days before independence.

could he produce anyone from the bereaved family who accepted his CCC donation and swear under oath?

swee say just bullshitting,period.

Sounds like abuse of public funds.....

Look you are just another fucking bunch of residents sitting around a table trying to make an housing estate better....but if I don't see any explanation or justification for the MCST of ANY condo to go.for an all expenses paid for holidays.....then why the Fuck are you allowed to do that???

Give me one example of a condo permitting its MCST to go for some fucking junket like this!!!!???

What other significant function are these fucking clowns supposed to be doing that justifies all such expenses?????

The retreats are very important as it enables members to bond with their MPs.

There is no greater bond than the penis-to-vagina kind. :wink:

Men born of women came to this world from that hole, when they grew up they wanted to go back that hole.
