GCT will defend them claiming they all had Amnesia
The insertion of "annual" is not a trivial matter since it was well known that this was a key to understanding everyone's approach to issue. Furthermore VB produced a "dossier". A "dossier" is more than just a file. It is a compilation of documents for a certain end. In this case to implicate the WP MPs. By the way, this dossier was very likely produced with taxpayers money. Given the spotlight on " integrity" I feel it is incumbent on the PM to find out what happened. It is better he investigates and makes a statement on the whole matter. A wise man will walk away from an unnecessary fight given the chance. The hawker centre's high areas may be clean now but I think it is the nation's high areas we need to be concernd about. The PAP is deluding itself if it thinks the the MSM has any influence on public opinion other than letting us know where the GSS bargains are to be had. Suspicions are growing that attempts were being made by functionaries to do a hatchet job.
My impression of the WP is that they do not wish to embarrass the government or to take cheap shots at them. However I do not think they are pushovers. The PM should not put the reputation of his entire cabinet on the line for a matter which can go many ways and no obvious conclusion. There is a tipping point at which Singaporeans will lose complete faith in them. We all know the feeling of waking one day and connecting all the dots and seeing that a trusted colleague, friend or worse still, family member wasn't all you thought they were. Singaporeans now are actively connecting dots. The PM should be careful of what pictures emerge.
VB, Pinky..may or may not know this but it shows they didnt bother to do due diligence and investigate thoroughly.
The March 2013 spring cleaning is an annual event, nothing false there.
Your annual remuneration is $20,000. See the importance of the word annual now. Without annual $20k is a lot.
Vivian is a 'snakey' character.
This is what the PAP leader has to say about spring cleaning.
"Hawker centres are spring cleaned four times a year. During one of the sessions, the high areas are also cleaned and all costs are borne by the town council," said Dr Balakrishnan.
At least in this one area, there is an agreement between PAP and WP.
"Spring cleaning is conducted quarterly four times a year. Annual cleaning – cleaning the highrise area of the market – once a year. So if the town council is obligated to clean also the highrise area, the question is: how many times you have to clean." - Low Thia Khiang

So where is the definition of: annual March 2013 spring cleaning?
In the dossier distributed by VB.
Quote the definition then.
It's already quoted everywhere my friend.
I would like to know what annual March 2013 spring cleaning means in detail.
I see. Sorry for misunderstanding you.
But this is exactly my point. What is the definition? VB's dossier came up with the words. Only they can answer your question. From a layman's view, it defines spring cleaning as being annual which is inaccurate.
So this whole ruckus is based on assumptions???? Why not just ask for clarification before crying foul?
No, I didn't say it is an assumption. It's an interpretation, not an assumption.
Only they can answer your question.
Where? All i see are extracts that say the annual March 2013 spring cleaning will take place from 4-8 March. That's a timeline, not a definition.
