Reputation: 36 Residents will suffer if AHPETC misses accounts deadlines: Hri Kumar

The Ministry of National Development (MND) has withheld this financial year's Service & Conservancy Charges grant to the AHPETC until it fixes the weaknesses and problems listed in the Auditor-General’s Office's report on its lapses.


SINGAPORE: The Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) must submit its accounts by the deadlines set or its residents will suffer, said MP for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Hri Kumar Nair on Sunday (Feb 15).

The Ministry of National Development (MND) has withheld this financial year's Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) grant to the AHPETC until it fixes the weaknesses and problems listed in the Auditor-General’s Office's (AGO) report on its lapses.

Mr Hri Kumar said if the AHPETC failed to meet the deadlines, it would result in the town council not having enough funds to continue operations. He said: "We can have a situation where the Aljunied Town Council misses the deadline - the June deadline or the August deadline to produce the audited accounts for FY2013/2014. That means the MND will continue to withhold the S&CC grants to the town council.

"That would not be a satisfactory solution or outcome because that means the town council is deprived of funds and ultimately the people who suffer will be the residents because the town council would not have sufficient funds to continue operations.

"What may happen - or one possible solution to that, would be for the funds to be released to the town council but for MND to put in place mechanisms whereby they can monitor how those funds may be used to ensure that public funds would not be compromised
