Aljunied Ward going downhill rapidly. Are you sure you want to vote the PAP out???
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Worrying lack of transparency PUBLISHED ON DEC 13, 2014 12:52 AM 0200PRINTEMAIL THE public streets in the vicinity of the Hougang-Kovan Melody area, where I have lived for the past 30 years, used to be swept daily under the former Ajunied Town Council - until the changing of hands after the last general election more than three years ago. These days, I hardly see any estate cleaners sweeping or doing maintenance work on public streets. Most of the streets are littered with fallen leaves and rubbish. Often, outdated event banners can be found strung on the road railings. Many of us living in the Workers' Party-held wards have been keeping quiet in the hope of seeing improvements, but it has been disappointing so far. Now, it comes as a great shock to us to be told by WP chairman Sylvia Lim that the town council has been facing problems with its IT system and accounting, and that it has switched to manual sorting methods ("Workers' Party responds to charges of 'silence' over town council"; Thursday). Ms Lim acknowledges there were mistakes and now urges Minister Lawrence Wong "not to confuse or alarm the public". It is now obvious that the town council has chosen not to be transparent. It inherited a comfortable surplus when it took over from the previous management. If there was proper corporate governance, then there should be no issues with its accounting and audits. What has happened to the surplus, and what was the cause of the "sudden spike" in its service and conservancy charge arrears? My biggest concern would be the day when the town council stops cleaning all public areas in its charge and further cuts corners in its maintenance schedule.
