Darryn Turbocharged November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 I don't know how true is it that the committee is purely PAP MPs, but the writer is basically giving PAP an opportunity to answer an easy question which WP already have the answer. After that, WP will have to answer the question of why they are running the TC in deficit.

The other part of the jigsaw is in this article on TOC: http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2014/11/did-desmond-lee-tell-the-whole-story/ According to the numbers, all Town Councils are operating on deficits before government grants. It's after government grants that most Town Councils are back in the black. As to why AHPETC is still in deficit after government grants, read the article and draw your own conclusion.

What would be nice, and what should happen as a matter of course - the applications and approvals should be matters of public record, so that we can all see for ourselves what is being approved.

TJX Turbocharged November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 PAP always explain any queries thrown at them... And gives very sound and convincing explanation every time.. Juz like how they explain the AIM saga. Best! Would you say the same if PAP is thrown all the many shit and kept quiet? PAP got keep quiet one meh?? They didn't explain, you say清者自清 . PAP never explain, become sweep under the carpet. How objective you are. WP is just doing nothing, trying to lie low. More noise , easy to get picked on. It is like Mourinho packing the bus, and it is frustrating Mr Wenger. PAP always explain any queries thrown at them... And gives very sound and convincing explanation every time..

Jamesc Hypersonic November 19, 2014 Share November 19, 2014 Politics is dirty. We will never know the whole truth. But it doesn't have to be dirty. I guess it all depends on what you are fighting for. To help yourself or to help other people. If its a job and I really needed the job, I will do what my boss tells me. If I was so rich and did it just to help other people then I can do what I feel is right. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
