Another example of PAP using taxpayer's mone for its own benefit

So, this PAP-owned company is funded by taxpayer's money. The software it created is funded by tax dollars. Why should the software be available only to PAP town councils?

Firm defends itself against WP comment

My Paper
Tuesday, Dec 18, 2012

SINGAPORE - The company that Aljunied-Hougang Town Council chairman Sylvia Lim identified as a factor for the town council's less-than-stellar performance defended itself against the comment yesterday.

Last Friday, a performance report on town councils here by the National Development Ministry showed that Aljunied- Hougang Town Council was the only one that did not have a corporate-governance score.

The ministry said this was because the council had not submitted the auditor's management letter in time.

Ms Lim said in a statement that a reason for the delay was that use of the council's computer and financial systems was terminated by Action Information Management. The firm owns the systems, developed by the People's Action Party town councils.

The Workers' Party (WP) runs the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, formed after WP won Aljunied GRC at last year's May General Election.

Ms Lim, who is WP's chairman, said that following the election, her town council was notified that use of its computer and financial systems would be terminated from August last year "due to material changes to the membership of the town council".

Ms Lim said this meant the council had to develop its own systems in a two-month timeframe, which was a "near-impossible task".

However, Mr S. Chandra Das, chairman of Action Information Management, clarified in a letter to the media yesterday that the council had requested two extensions from the firm on the use of the systems.

The first one was until Aug 31 last year and the second one was until Sept 9 last year, which Mr Chandra Das said Action Information Management had "readily agreed" to.

"If Aljunied-Hougang Town Council had asked for a longer extension, Action Information Management would have similarly agreed," he said.

"However, after the second extension, (the council) did not ask for further extensions."

Yet another case of blurring the boundaries between business and politics.

PAP is government and government is PAP. They are in the business of politic.

PAP is business people (the music) and Singapore voters are just people (the noises).

After GE2016, Singapore voters are the music and PAP people are the noises.

Yet another case of blurring the boundaries between business and politics.

Chandra Daz, ex MP of PAP, so what do you guys expect?

This bloody ah neh Das again. When he was sitting MP he was already reaping a gold mine. Now he is milking the system from outside and creating problems for opposition that took over.
Like I have said all along; the economic power of this land is in the hands of LKY and cronies. They will run this country to the ground, if they have to, to maintain their money, priviledges and status.
