Small money this time compared to the YOG fiasco.

SINGAPORE: Four people were charged with cheating a ministry and three statutory boards by inflating the expenditure of the Hari Raya decorative lights on Thursday morning (Jan 8).

Of the four, three were ex-members of Malay-Muslim community organisation Majlis Pusat, Gazaly Malek and Abdul Ghani Tahir as well as the organisation's ex-president Saharudin Kassim. A local businessman Salleh Sam was also charged.

The four faced between five to 11 charges of abetting to cheat the then-Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, Singapore Tourism Board, National Population and Talent Division and the Tote Board by inflating the expenses of the lights amounting to between S$130,768 and S$351,241 in 2011 and 2012.

From September 2011 to October 2012, the ministry and three statutory boards made separate payments to Majlis Pusat of between S$49,680 and S$200,000.

In total, the ministry and the statutory boards disbursed S$914,511 to Majlis Pusat for the expenses of the decorative lights

more discrimination, suppression and oppression of mats in singapore. others can make money but mats are forced to offer services at low margins. the said extra costs is less ministers one month pay and total money disbursed for lights is still less than a full years pay. How to celebrate raya like this.

Mats has sucked more than enough, look at Mendaki, millions every year also not enough. Organisation of other races and government must come in and help to donate.
Building of places of worship only the Mosque get subsidies, even then the mosque owe the contractor payment that takes years to pay.
No wonder no contractor want to take mosque projects.
