Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic August 23, 2011 Share August 23, 2011 CNA news : PE: HDB should investigate community sites transfer in Aljunied GRC, says Tony Tan SINGAPORE: Presidential candidate Dr Tony Tan said the HDB should investigate the issue of transferring community sites in Aljunied GRC to the People's Association (PA) to ensure that proper procedures were followed. Speaking in response to reporters after visiting a market at New Upper Changi Road, Dr Tan said he is concerned if there was any unfairness in the transfer of the HDB owned sites. He wondered if this had been done intentionally, or whether it was a mistake. The Workers' Party Chairman Sylvia Lim had accused the HDB of abusing its power as land owner by transferring the management rights of 26 open spaces from the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council to the People's Association. Ms Lim added that the PA curtailed the ground presence of the elected WP MPs by warning residents who apply for permits to hold events at these sites not to invite the elected WP MPs or risk having their applications turned down in future. "It's important that justice and fairness should be done. Not only that but that the public should see that justice and fairness has been done," said Dr Tan. - CNA/cc So, the PE hopeful had spoken against HDB. Does he carry weight on this ? or just another NATO ............. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear August 23, 2011 Share August 23, 2011 Fair or not is not the issue here. Only the procedure needs to be made more proper and transparent. Just like I want to rob someone. I must explain to the victim, that I will use a knife and ask victim for money, exact $50, if no money i will punch and give two tight slap, after that I wail walk away, and still must inform the victim that he can report police and on his rights as a victim!! That is call proper procedure to rob. Does not say it's right or wrong to rob hor. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
