If WP can still maintain control over Aljunied GRC after this fiasco, I chop!!!!

SINGAPORE: The High Court judgment on Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) underscores the fact that the “egregious conduct” of the Workers’ Party-run town council should be acted on, said Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam on Thursday (May 28).

Mr Shanmugam, who also stood by his previous comment that the town council’s conduct was “unlawful”, was speaking a day after the court rejected the Ministry of National Development’s (MND) application to appoint independent accountants to oversee government grants to AHPETC.

“The judge was scathing about the town councillors and their conduct. He said that the chairman of the WP misled Parliament. It is very serious to lie in Parliament. He said that the conduct was possibly criminal, and that the residents and Housing and Development Board (HDB) can sue them,” he said to reporters today.

Mr Shanmugam said the Attorney-General’s Chambers will be advising the MND on its next steps. “If this were to happen to a People’s Action Party town council, what do you think Singaporeans would be asking? If this were to happen to a public company, what do you think the shareholders would be saying?...Is the Government responsible if it just keeps quiet in the face of a judgment from the Supreme Court that says all these things?” he asked.

“(The judge’s) view was that the wording in the (Town Council Act) is HDB and the residents, and not MND, who can bring such an action. And that is something the Attorney-General will advise us on, as to whether it is the correct interpretation, and what they should do about it,” Mr Shanmugam added.

In his judgment released yesterday, Justice Quentin Loh had ruled that the ministry had not established the legal bases for such an order, but he noted that “there are grave and serious questions” in AHPETC’s conduct relating to its books and the validity and propriety of payments previously made to related parties.

Shanmugan has yet to account for the erronenous data he provided to the house to support his attacks on the WP TC.

Shanmugan is going to be slapped again.

If Shanmugan is claiming that the WP TC actions are unlawful, so why is he has he not filed charges against them? He is full of hot air.
 
It seems the PAP despite all the accusations, despite all the power in its hands to take swift action as we have seen on SDP, Roy and Amos, are struggling to press charges and even lost a court case on a rare occasion.

Is it really empty talk as some people say.

Shamu should not poke his finger into this. SG Foreign Policy is terrible and he want to play around with this nonsense?
 
internal power struggle in PAP more likely, LHL vs ShamAhNeh.

win at all costs
 
You expect us to believe S Lim took money??????????
If she did papigs will jail her without wasting time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Pap accusations against WP can only border on very hollow logics and hence the need to resort to court actions to lend themselves some sort of legitimacy even though it totally unnecessary for MND to go to this extend. If pap wins, then they can tell the public all the points made against WP are valid and it not politicking.

Hence it explain why pap leaped on the opportunity to make the most political capital out the judge's remarks even though they lost the case.

There was no case to begin with. In fact WP can claim that PAP's action was a vexatious use of court time. If PAP keeps repeating this, they could be held in contempt.
