If you read the entire dossier (including those provided by WP), NEA informed Pradreep of the clean-up from 4 to 8 March. A 5 days period is given. You mean it doesn't occur to you it's about the annual spring cleaning? If it clashes with WP's intended schedule for it to be in October, why didn't you clarify?
We have to recognize that everything prior to NEA blasting AHPETC involved nitty gritty details and miscommunication is possible. I for one will never rule out that each side contributed to the miscommunication. We also cannot rule out that apart from the emails, there were some verbal communications as someone picked up the phone and called. Also, we have to bear in mind that NEA is the one that sets the timeline (in this case 5 days) and AHPETC could have clarified but the fact that they did not doesn't absolve the NEA either.
The questions came after NEA blasted AHPETC. Why did NEA blast AHPETC after the meeting was supposed to settle everything? Why did NEA treat their own officer's email like it didn't exist? Why was VB and NEA so busy and eager trying to paint it as a dereliction of duty when the ceiling cleaning was supposed to be October, including inserting the word "annual" the spring cleaning in the dossier? How did Jonathan Oh become "chairman" of a non existent association?
Instead, when their supporters tried to turn it against WP, all they could find was 1. a quotation from a "WP company" that ironically also served 3 other PAP town councils 2. an alleged but unproven statement that Tai tried to get money from hawkers as if he had something to gain from it 3. why LTK did not speak to Tai when he had already stepped down as the TC's chairman and Sylvia and Pritam are the new heads.
Which side has more questions unanswered, I leave it to readers. To me, if WP gave lousy answers and explanations they at least covered every detail whereas PAP gave no answers and simply bypassed some of the black holes and missing pieces.
