<!--start of story text-->The Rotary Club is pledging a $100,000 gift to PAP candidate Desmond Choo's initiative to retrofit ageing toilets in Hougang.
With the donation, funds for the programme, which has upgraded 11 squat toilets to sitting ones and with 19 more in the pipeline, will more than double.
Another 50 toilets can then be retrofitted, said Mr Choo's campaign team on Wednesday. Non-slip tiles and grab bars are also included in the upgrading, based on residents' needs.
President of the Rotary Club, Mr Kumar Tapan Rao, said that he was shown a video on YouTube of a resident who had benefited from the retrofitting by a fellow Rotarian last week.

it is not residents' needs, it is building code

Is the Rotary club doing this for the residents or for Desmond Choo? If it is for the residents, then they should pledge the amount regardless of who wins.

If they are pledge for Desmond Choo, then one wonders who "benefits" is Desmond Choo promising them in return.

Is this FT President using Rotarians' money to curry favour or what?
