Earlier today, Low Thia Khiang, Sylvia Lim and Pritam Singh, all parliamentarians from the Workers’ Party (WP) were found liable for damages in a case that investigated misuse of town council funds.
Between July 2011 and July 2015, the Aljunied Hougang Town Council (AHTC) paid at least S$33.7 million to their town council managing agent FM Solutions & Services (FMSS), which was appointed without tender.
Mr Low was the secretary-general of the WP while Ms Lim had chaired AHTC, and Mr Pritam served as a member of the town council’s committee for tenders and contracts.
High Court Judge Kannan Ramesh today said (October 11) that Mr Low and Ms Lim had breached their fiduciary duties to AHTC and that Mr Pritam breached his duties of skill and care to the town council.

Judge Kannan said, Both had “failed to act in AHTC’s best interests and had acted for extraneous purposes.”
As for Mr Singh, while “it cannot be said that he has breached his fiduciary duties to AHTC”, he had breached his “duties of skill and care”, the judge said.
In a statement following the event on their blog ‘In Good Faith’, Mr Pritam, Ms Lim and Mr Low said:
“Thank you to all our friends and supporters for walking with us. We have many more miles to go, together”, he added. /TISG

The Lion of Singapore. Gone but never forgotten.
Only this JBJ is my true WP Hammer.

They may be honest, full of integrity and practised fair play, as long as it does not pertain to the politicians.
Why go to such lengths to wayang?
Just invoke ISD to throw the whole damn lot in jail indefinitely.
Or change the law and find some excuse to hang all of them.

No need to invoke ISD when PAP can always trust the oppies to fuck themselves up by being dishonest. JBJ told lies, Oppie Chee cheated on taxi claims and threw his mentor out of his own party and the WP oppies treated the Aljunied Town Council as their own fief where they gave contracts to their own friends and cronies.
SINGAPORE - It is up to the town councils to show what their "true or proper loss" is when they try to recover monies from eight defendants, including three Workers' Party MPs, in the next stage of a long-running civil suit.
Former WP chief Low Thia Khiang, chairman Sylvia Lim and current leader Pritam Singh have been found liable for damages suffered by the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), which is said to have made $33.7 million in improper payments under their watch.
In his judgment on Friday (Oct 11), Justice Kannan Ramesh said all the payments under two major contracts the AHTC awarded to its managing agent FM Solutions and Services and its sister company could be said to involve the misapplication of the town council's funds.
However, the town council had received the relevant services. The amount of money AHTC can recover, therefore, is the difference between what was paid and the value of the net benefits actually obtained by AHTC, he wrote.
This would mean that the "loss cannot possibly be as much as the full amount disbursed under the impugned contracts", he added.
As well, "the legal burden of proving loss falls upon the plaintiffs", Justice Ramesh said, adding that the plaintiffs must prove that the defendants' breach was the "but-for" cause of their loss.
The "but-for" cause is a legal term to show that something would not have happened but for the contributing factor.
Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council (PRPTC) had also sued the same set of eight defendants, over claims related to Punggol East constituency when the WP won the ward at the 2013 by-election.
Justice Ramesh also said the court would not be exercising its discretion to order a common account, since the purpose of such an account would be to identify the whereabouts of the money.
In this case, "there is no confusion as to where and to whom AHTC's funds were paid".
He also set out guidelines for the other remedies sought by AHTC and PRPTC in relation to the defendants' breach of fiduciary duties.
For example, they can try to get FMSS and its co-owners, Ms How Weng Fan and her late husband Danny Loh, to repay any profits earned from their contracts with AHTC.
But they would have to choose between doing that or compensating the town council for losses suffered.
The judge has also allowed the plaintiffs to seek from the town councillors and the other defendants the costs of investigating their breaches of duty.
Friday's verdict brings to a close the first tranche of the trial to determine liability. The next step of the trial would be to determine the damages.
