Serious Slumkang GRC Town Council Officially Gone Fuck! Will Become Another Aljunied Town Council Scandal! Deva Ju!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - Sengkang Town Council on Wednesday began direct management of the entire town after failing to receive any bids for a managing agent in its 2022 tender, and its contract with its previous managing agent having expired on Tuesday.

The Workers’ Party (WP)-run council said in a statement on Wednesday that it has been working on transitioning into direct management of Sengkang town, with recruitment for the direct management team beginning in the second half of 2022.

It added that it has recruited experienced and suitable individuals, including employees from both CPG Facilities Management and EM Services, for its town management works.

The Anchorvale division has already been under direct management since Nov 1, 2021.

The other three divisions are Buangkok, Compassvale and Rivervale.

This comes after the town council’s contract with the previous managing agent, EM Services, expired on Tuesday.

EM Services said in May 2022 that it did not put in a bid to continue in its role after the contract expiry because of a manpower crunch. The town council did not receive any bids during a three-week tender exercise for a managing agent in April 2022.

The lack of bids had reignited debate among some quarters about the barriers that opposition-run town councils face, including the perception that facilities management companies prefer not to work for opposition-run town councils.

Wednesday’s town council statement added that existing contractors will continue to provide their services in the various divisions and there is no disruption to their day-to-day operations.

It said: “Sengkang Town Council would like to convey its appreciation to EM Services for its years of service to Sengkang residents, and for working with the town council on the handover of the Buangkok, Compassvale and Rivervale divisions over the last eight months.”

It added that experience gained from directly managing Anchorvale division means that the council is confident of delivering the standards of service that Sengkang residents have come to expect.

Sengkang Town Council is chaired by Sengkang GRC MP He Ting Ru. Its vice-chair is fellow WP MP Louis Chua. Associate Professor Jamus Lim, also an MP for Sengkang, is an elected member of the town council.

Politics is in itself not dirty... it's the wicked people who made it dirty.

Oppies either want to give the jobs to their party supporters or that it's a nightmare working with oppie MPs that managing agents prefer to take their business elsewhere. Who would give up a profitable business deal unless the business partner is an asshole?

We are hoping it happens. Won't oppies be so heartbroken to see their beloved jamus charged in court just like the Low, bayi and their muud sidekick faisal?

Wankers have their cooks ready to work on the books...

They need a experienced accountant.

Direct management more efficient as compared to other towns. Look at Ang Mo Kio GRC and Jurong West GRC, both like slum town with rats infestations and piled up rubbish chute.

Both town councils mentioned above don't have their financial accounts in a total mess like Aljunied Town Council.

Besides, AMK is getting a makeover, thanks to the constant hard work of their MPs. Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC look like they are still stuck in the 1980s.

AMK Ex Town Management manager still on the run and looking for Xiao Mei Mei in KTV. Nothing new. Jurong West GRC never clean the town, residents complain about rubbish everywhere, and now called it a cocroach GRC run by a bunch of Cocroaches. If all these Town council fees collected were not used to spruce up the place, what were they used for? Feed a bunch of worthless friends in exchange for mediocre work?

The ex-GM for AMK TC wong already sentenced to jail for corruption.

 

[laksaboy]

It's a 'scandal' because the PAP cronies in charge of municipal stuff made it so. Naturally the propaganda media makes a mountain out of a molehill.

When you can't run a country properly, fixing the opposition becomes your only option.

A true leaders don't fix opposition, but engage constructively. PAPPY lacks leadership qualities but is heavily protected by a bunch of kangaroos. Every new generation of PAPPYs is chosen from (1) PAPER GENERAL, followed by the recipients of (2) silver spoons, and then any gaps in the GRC candidate structure are filled by (3) mommy boys who are socially inept in society grinding machines. If you observed carefully, each of PAPPY GRC will have a compulsory element of 1,2 3 above, helmed by veteran POWER HOUSE to make sure voters are deluded and continue to vote for these 3 elements of mediocre candidates.

All the high profile PAP ministers come primarily from two sources: the SAF and the NTUC. One sells the snake oil of 'operational readiness', the other sells the snake oil of 'tripartism'.

Of course, there are a quite a few 官二代 within their ranks e.g. Lee Yock Suan's brat.

 

[cocobobo]

This is good. It justifies ownself award/check ownself as no bids received. If pap ask can just point back to pap, pot-kettle-black argument.

If TPL has to pick up kotex means her ward sucks.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Why don't all town councils directly manage the estate directly?
