Aljunied residents: Workers Party sleeping on ‘rat problem’ in constituency
Posted by temasektimes on March 25, 2012
An angry Aljunied resident has written an email to us complaining about the Workers Party’s ‘irresponsible’ attitude in tackling the ‘rat’ problem prevalent in the constituency.
Chan Choo Jun, who lives in Blk 644 Bedok Reservoir Road said he has called up Aljunied-Hougang Town Council at least twice this year to complain about the situation and no action has been taken so far:
“The rubbish dump near my block is infested with rats, one can see them running around in broad daylight to the wet market next door. The place wasn’t so dirty in the past, but since WP took over, the standards of maintenance seem to have dropped.”
He added it’s very difficult to contact AHTC during working hours as nobody seems to pick up the phone and emails are never replied:
“Very disappointed with WP. They like to make a show of engaging residents, but I have never seen my MP since the last General Election.”
The MP of Bedok Reservoir Low Thia Kiang is reportedly ‘running’ between his ward and Hougang after his protege Yaw Shin Leong was sacked from the party for his failure to address swirling rumors about his multiple sordid extra-marital affairs with married women, including a neighbor from China.
“I think Mr Low is burnt out. I heard he visits Hougang at least three times a week. He should be focused on serving our interests first because he is our MP instead of worrying about the by-election.”
Another irate netizen who lives in Serangoon North posted his complaint on WP’s Facebook after being stonewalled by AHTC:
“There’s lots of rats at Blk 152 Serangoon North Avenue 1…….I have submitted once (to AHTC) before but there’s still no action taken.”

Mr How, who earlier complained about the ‘waste of public resources’ in changing the carpark direction signs in Aljunied GRC said:
“Maybe WP is busy clearing up the mess in Hougang to be concerned with us. Their performance in parliament is also pathetic. Pritam just copied his entire parliamentary speech from the internet. Like this I also can be a MP. What a disgrace he is to Aljunied residents!”
As usual, there are no response from WP MPs or AHTC to the genuine concerns of Aljunied residents. Perhaps they should try catching the rats themselves instead of waiting for their ‘sleeping’ MPs to do the job for them
