RH1667 Hypersonic October 9, 2018 Share October 9, 2018 Workers' Party took on a town council which was 'stripped of its computer system': Defence The audit reports that two town councils are basing their lawsuits against Workers’ Party (WP) Members of Parliament and other defendants on fail to recognise the circumstances they were in, including taking on a town council which was “stripped of its town council management computer system (TCMS)”, the defence said on Monday (Oct 8). Hard for opposition town councils to find managing agents, AHTC’s previous vendor an ‘unwilling horse’: Defence Opposition town councils face difficulties finding managing agents that are willing to do the job, which is why the Workers’ Party (WP) turned to FM Solutions and Services (FMSS) to manage Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, said the defence on Monday (Oct 8). AHTC trial: Payment to FMSS properly approved by WP chairman Sylvia Lim, says defence SINGAPORE - A system was in place to ensure that the monthly payments Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) made to its managing agent were signed off and approved by Workers' Party (WP) chairman Sylvia Lim. AHTC trial: Defence explains why Workers' Party decided to drop old town council managing agent SINGAPORE - Workers' Party (WP) terminated the contract of CPG Facilities Management, which had been appointed when the People's Action Party (PAP) ran Aljunied Town Council, because the ruling party had a track record of making "things difficult for opposition town councils", Senior Counsel Chelva Rajah said on Monday (Oct 8). AHTC trial: $1.2 million in project fees was for ad hoc, large-scale projects and not 'improper' payments SINGAPORE - What a senior accountant deemed to be wrongful payments to a managing agent by a Workers' Party-led town council was also practised by its People's Action Party (PAP) predecessors.

Carbon82 Moderator October 9, 2018 Author Share October 9, 2018 just curious... WP so many supporters as seen in their rally and in MCF.... but none of them are managing agents that can step out and help them? Can't speak for WP (and their supporter) since no dealing with them, but I do have my fair share of these "nonsense" in my course of work. One bad experience I had some 4 - 5 years ago when I want to carry out an A&A (Addition and Alteration) work for one of the facilities I am in-charge of. Following the company's policy and SOP, tender was called and 4 companies participated in the tender briefing. However, at closing of the tender, none of them submit a quote. When we contacted them, these are the reasons provided. Company A: Our company do not want to take up projects that was previously done by XYZ (previous contractor that setup the facility) as we have bad experience in rectifying issues created by them before Company B: Our company do not allow us to work with your landlord's appointed LEW (Licensed Electric Worker) and PE (Professional Engineer) as they are our competitors in other field of service Company C: Our company cannot take up the project since it was setup by XYZ, because we have other jointed projects with them, and agree not to "snatch" business from them Company D: Our top management prohibit us to tender for this job as we have other project with your competitor (part of the contract terms in the other job) Ended up LLST, show all these documented proof to my management and have to pay a premium to get back the original contractor for the A&A work (frankly, until today, I still suspect that the whole incident is a ganged up effort by the original contactor, as they are one of the key player in the market). In a nutshell, there are simply too many hidden rules and red tapes not visible to man on the street. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic October 9, 2018 Share October 9, 2018 (edited) 1. in order to become managing agents ... must have capacity or any $2 company can do? 2. if take AHTC means give up all other PAP TC liao ... this one is suicide for any business consideration, right? just curious...

Weez911 Supersonic October 9, 2018 Share October 9, 2018 Actually what i don't understand from the start is why this independent panel of auditors are suing them? They just do their job, submit their findings and let authorities (AG?) take over right? How come they can sue the council? In what capacity? So if my auditor audit my company's accounts and not happy with it, they can sue my company also? That this panel was appointed by the town council themselves just makes it more ridiculous. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. This is a moot point now, because a certain Davinder Singh is acting on behalf of the plaintiff in this lawsuit. He has been a PAP MP for 18 years... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
