Workers' Party's AHPETC sees red in latest Town Council repo

The government's latest Town Council Management Report cardgave its sole “red” grade to Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council in the category of collecting service and conservancy charges (S&CC).

The three-constituency town council, run by the opposition Workers' Party, was slapped with the red banding because "more than 5 per cent of their households had S&CC arrears overdue for three months or more," read the report.

"Also, more than 50 per cent of their monthly S&CC collectible are overdue for three months or more,” it added.

It also showed a white "pending" field under corporate governance, a phenomenon that, like the town council's "red" banding, occurred in the Ministry of National Development (MND)'s last report as well.

The report, released Thursday at noon, measured the performance of Singapore's 15 town councils in the year ending March 2013 — contrary to four previous versions of the report, which graded the town councils' performance on a half-yearly basis.

The town councils were measured for cleanliness, maintenance, lift performance, service and conservancy charge arrears and corporate governance. All the town councils scored "green" bandings for cleanliness and lift performance, but nine were banded "amber" for maintenance. These nine apart from the AHPETC were: Chua Chu Kang, East Coast, Holland-Bukit Panjang, Jurong, Marine Parade, Pasir Ris-Punggol, Tampines and West Coast.

Potong Pasir Town Council was also given an "amber" banding for its conservancy charge arrears management.

Yahoo Singapore has asked the Workers' Party town council management for their comments on the report's findings and is awaiting the response.

Bro Joseph22,

Honestly, NON POLITICS SPEAKING...Country leaders should be more forgiving's, should be more mindful with the less fortunate to evaluate their failure's and set back for solutions to help rather just blaming their poverty are self pawned mistakes.

I hereby will give my vote to the leader who cares for those who needs help with sincerity.

Thanks Ah Huat.

not true, if you dun opt for GIRO and dun pay for 6 months, they also can't do anything, maybe send you a legal letter for warning.

I beg to differ.

 

A town council's job is to:

1) Ensure that money gets spent wisely to benefit the districts.

2) Ensure that money gets collected.

 

Item 1 is hard to measure. But item 2 is easy.
In this instance, Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council has fared badly for item 2.

Exactly. What kind of KPI is that?! Based on how much you can suck$. [furious] It is their report card that should be red. Dyed & stained with all their resident's blood. [furious]
