As at the time of writing, Ang Mo Kio has not put its 2012 annual report up on its website. Tanjong Pagar only has its latest annual report on its website, not earlier ones.
I also looked for annual reports of the previous PAP-run Aljunied Town Council, but couldn’t find them. It seems to me that the current AHTC is a separate entity from the PAP’s Aljunied Town Council, whose website has been taken down. But its take-down also means its historical information has been removed from public eyes. Is this good accountability?
The most striking thing about the figures in the above table is how they appear to contradict claims that the computer system was sold to AIM in January 2011, who then charged merely $785 per month per town council for its use, at least up till 31 October 2011. This rate translates to an annual fee of $9,420. Yet, each of the town councils continued to spend over $300,000 in FY 2012 (ending 31 March 2012) on computer services.
This cries out for explanation.
Might these be payments for further developmental work? But if so, wouldn’t it mean we’re using public money to develop and enhance a software application which is an asset of a private company?

The annual reports also indicate what each town council projects as its commitments to lease payments in the 12 months ahead.
