“How much do you want? Do you want three meals in a hawker centre, food court or restaurant?”

He is sore ...being slapped by Sylvia, Pritam, the Indons, Sylvia again in Parliament and then Low TK in Parliament. He is also baiting the WP MPs in the hope that he can catch them make a slip so that he can sue them as well.

He is trying to rescue his own political career. He and Yaacob will be the millstone around the PAP's neck in 2016.

Amazing to see that there are still so many running dogs and bootlickers that prased him over the issue.

I feel that these are the people causing his death in politic. They have given him the false sense that he is doing fine. They indirectly urged him on in his childish acts that results in greater harm than good.

From his FB:

The core issue is integrity.

The Property Manager of AHPETC, Mr Tai Vie Shun, demanded extra money from hawkers for cleaning the high areas of hawker centres. He did so on three occasions – 8 March 2013, 26 April 2013 and 28 April 2013. The hawkers have confirmed this consistently, and their account is backed up by notes of meetings. Meeting notes? He built his stupid case on meeting notes? Notes which can be post written to justify a preceding action. How dumb can he be? Where are the official circulated minutes of the meeting? His stupidity is really worse than previously exposed - truly self-inflicted!"

When this scandal (Scandal? A scandal is when you waste hours of parliament's time making personal attacks and on something which should have been well resolved by the NEA CEO at worst). came to light, instead of putting things right, the Town Council Chairman, Ms Sylvia Lim, and the Vice-Chairman, Mr Pritam Singh, publicly denied that the Town Council had ever asked hawkers for more money. (VB: show us one single piece of evidence that this was so. Just one piece which can be accepted in a court of law! You are really dumb & dumber!)

That was why I said in Parliament that these denials by Ms Lim and Mr Singh were false and untruthful. And I say it again here.

Ms Sylvia Lim acknowledged that this was a very grave charge, but then she beat around the bush, and claimed confusion between spring and annual cleaning. But how can she, on the one hand, claim that the Town Council never asked for more money; and then, on the other hand, maintain that this was spring and not annual cleaning, i.e. the Town Council was justified to ask for more money?(After re-reading your comments a few times here, I am still trying to see the link between SL's comments and your 'response'. Or do ministers with $million see and read things differently?)

Mr Pritam Singh sat conspicuously silent throughout the proceedings. (Totally irrelevant. When one's elders talk, there is no need to jump in. That is called good upbringing and class. Come to think of it, you kept quiet too, when your Ng Eng Hen was briefing the reporters on the new committee to sort out the haze matter you made a meal of - other than delivering that all important letter to SBY of course.)

The core issue is integrity - Hawkers vs AHPETC

Many well-intended people advised me not to pursue this saga. It was too mundane, and people wanted to move on.

But I felt duty bound to resolve this matter, because it goes far beyond clean ceilings.

The core issue is integrity.

The Property Manager of AHPETC, Mr Tai Vie Shun, demanded extra money from hawkers for cleaning the high areas of hawker centres. He did so on three occasions – 8 March 2013, 26 April 2013 and 28 April 2013. The hawkers have confirmed this consistently, and their account is backed up by notes of meetings.

Mr Pritam Singh sat conspicuously silent throughout the proceedings.

Mr Low Thia Kiang argued that it was all ‘a misunderstanding’. But interestingly he did not strongly defend the Town Council’s actions, or Ms Lim and Mr Singh’s public denials.

Politics is a contest for power, but people with power must never take advantage of those in their charge. Equally important, we must always be honest with everyone, including ourselves, especially if a mistake has been made. I therefore urged Mr Low to conduct a full investigation and clean up his Town Council.

To my surprise, at this point Mr Low, Ms Lim and Mr Singh all chose to remain silent, and raised no further questions or objections, and so the debate in Parliament ended.

It is all these misplaced words of 'encouragement' which fans his ego. He is oblivious that these porlampars are investing for future favours and that people are being polite. It is like if he is your neighbour what do you tell him. Ya, minister, these WP fellas are lying through their teeth. Smile, smile and then go their separate ways - what the neighbour really thinks does not matter. He is too dense to realise this in his arrogance. His parents must be quite proud of him by now. He can singlehandedly lose a few thousand votes.

Now i know why his parents named him Vivian. He must be damn naggy like a chabor when he was a kid. Even as a adult he likes to nit pick on trivial stuff. Chabors are famed for that.
I hope the stewpid voters who voted for him are glad that theyre getting their money's worth. A million bucks per annum to debate over ceiling & whatsnot. Why wasnt there a debate on the overblown YOG budget?

We don't know the whole picture. The time allocation of this debate was over ...so the WP MPs didn't have the chance to rebut? Or the Speaker refuse to grant them the floor?
