I think an independent audit would prevent further damage. If they come out clean then they would gain back some confidence of the people. If they come out “dirty” then things can be fixed up sooner than later.

They don’t get it don’t they?
People DON’T just want ‘changes within the PAP…’, they want them REPLACED.
A less kinder word – FIRED!!!

why why tell me why the sky is so the high?
no , not this question.

The question is if you cannot give direct reply, please tell us why you cannot give direct reply. So, am not asking for disclosure. Am asking the Y.

Who is Responsible and or Accountable ?
Who is not Responsible and or Accountable ?

Any answer to the above 3 questions would be greatly appreciated.

If Dr Teo did not have the details of the TC investment, then why is he handling 14 PAP TC under his care. And actually what Dr Teo doing? That means all 14 PAP TC does not report to Dr Teo as their chief, then why do we need Dr Teo in the first place. 14 PAP TC can do what they like without let their so call head know.

Dr Teo, please think properly before you give your talk, Singapore Citizen are asking you a definite questions, at least do your part to look into the matters and explain back to us and not push away our question by saying this kind of statement of not knowing the investment detail and decline to comments.

I hope we can.

CHANGE is possible – but only if the people wants it.

YA it pains me to see that we can’t do anything even when we feel that the system is faulty.

This is our fault as the country has given them this mandate to rule over us. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

They will tell you that it’s your fault as you have voted for us all this while and I have given you first world status, highest GDP in SE Asia, clean and corrupt-free govt, reserves of up to $300 billion, No 1 airport in the world for well over ten years, best port in the world for well over five years, best place in SE Asia to do business, highest lteracy in SE Asia, highest home ownership in Asia, and many other world accolades. What more do you want from me?

Without the ruling party, your wives and daughters will becaome maids overseas, you will drink water from the river and harvest padi off the land.

A preliminary update on the letter to the town councils.

So far, 18 people have sent the template email to their town councils. (These are only those who have cc-ed their email to TOC. Some others have sent it on their own but we can’t confirm them as they’re not copied to TOC.)

Out of the 18 emails, only one have received a reply from an MP.

We will update readers in an article on Tuesday – one week after we published the call for readers to write to their TCs.

Meantime, we hope more of you will do the same.

Thanks.

Regards,
Andrew Loh

‘It’s an honest mistake, let’s move on’

‘We are vulnerable to external world situations as we are a small country, there are leakages. (btw, still trying to find PM Lee’s such comments in TOC) When we are successfully, it is because of our right policy, build the correct infra-structure. But when we failed, there are factors beyond our control’. Sound familar? The sole proprietors or owners of small business lamenting “we are small companies subjected to M Porter’s forces which squeeze us, bankers don’t listen to us, our distribution channels don’t support us. etc etc”.

But do all these sole proprietors and owners get to earn millions of dollars continously for 5 years or even success years on 2nd terms, to 3rd…. (US President sits only for 2 terms.)? But our ministers do. So I have higher expectation in quality of judgements, responsiveness and decision making, ownership, accountability, etc.

In reponse to 14 Lim Peter, does Dr Ho know how much has the TC been investing and lost in our local market since probably the toix products are too far away, geograhically or financially?

Now with this town council debacle we can clearly see that thepeople in charge dont seem capable and seem cocky when asked about the finances and losses. So the government seems to have failed in this aspect.

It does mean that if you are put in charge of the peoples town councils and have acess to the finances you are not accountable. Looks like the pandora box has been opened and there will be more to come out and be revealed. If the people in charge of town councils dont feel that they are suited to run them , then step down and depart into the sunset. You or any of us are not indispensible in singapore. No one is except only one. You know I know who lah.

I am a resident of Holland Bukit-Panjang Town Council. Please explain how you can retrieve the millions our town council has lost?

since made loss in investment ‘lehman brother’

be open la…

now more worry if got more loss made or not, scared scared…

then how to overcome the financial downturn, how??

not sure we comment/give our views here, got PEOPLE see or not huh?

Good point. If Singaporeans can’t overcome anonymity and climate of fear, there will be no change in Singapore. Overcoming the climate of fear has to be done by both politicians and electorate.

Perhaps we should petition to the opposition MPs, NMPs and even the President. They represent the people, don’t they? Have them present a proposal to the Govt that no S&C charges to be collected until an independent COI has reviewed the issues surrounding the town council’s collection and use of our monies, and made recommendations. If this doesn’t bear fruit, we can consider something more drastic.

Actually we don’t need to depend on TKL or Mr Leong to raise this issue for us. All of us have the right to do so at HLP as now it is a legal ground for protest.

We need more people who are passionate about issues that affect us to stand up and be counted. We need more TKLs and Mr Leong to come out from their homes. I am not saying they are not effective but we need more people like them to take the lead.

I will take the lead if I am in Singapore now but sad to say I am overseas now. Many Singaporeans worldwide are logged on to this site as even when we are abroad, our heart is veruymuch at home. We all love our country too much for it to go downhill like this.

I bet that if someone here annouce that he is willing to lead this TC protest at HLP, many people will turn up to support. Am I right Singaporeans?

If Singaporeans continue to grumble at the govt as netizens, I am afriad that we won’t go very far advocating for change.

If you do it, it is for your children and children’s children as Tiredsingaporean has aptly mentioned earlier here.
