[...] Since the suits commenced, the three of us have funded the legal expenses, using our personal savings and contributions from friends. We have not used any funds from the Workers’ Party. [...]
[...]Your support is much appreciated. Thank you from us three![...]
Besides your beholden fellow MPs, NCMPs including party members and cadres looking to rise in the party's hierarchy, cheerleading teams of WP astroturfers and those who donate out of self-interests (due to the contracts and businesses they have with AHTC), there will be, admittedly, genuine donors amongst the "5,241+" who donated to you three. Many would be HDB dwellers with low household income of less than $1,000 a month (12.2% of households in Singapore) or whose value of their property can be as low as $260,000 (a three-room HDB flat).
In contrast, the three of you collectively earn $48,125 a month ($16,041/month/individual) or $577,500 a year ($192,500/individual) just in MP allowances alone. This is not considering your other income streams. Also, your 6 WP MPs and 3 WP NCMPs earn a total of $1,241,625/year [$192,500 x 6 + $86,625 x 3 ($28,875/year/NCMP)]
Your landed property is worth well over $4 million (Half-Truth Low). Combined with Lying Lim's Toh Tuck condo and Turbanless Tiger's condo, this brings the value of the property you live in (as a luxurious lifestyle choice) to at least $6 million plus.
A few questions for you triumvirate of three:
1. Why did you three not disclose your lifestyle choice of living in a luxurious landed private property or condo, all of which have a combined value of no less than $6 million (as a conservative estimate), before choosing to raise funds from the public?
2. Why have you three not disclose your total assets (property/ies, investments, salaries, income streams and other assets) before choosing to raise funds from the public?
3. Why did you three choose to hide and not reveal such assets to the public? Shouldn't the "transparency" you talk about not apply in your fundraising?
4. Are raising funds and using the funds, especially those obtained from low-income Singaporeans who live in HDB flats whose value is a fraction of your property, in order to pay for either your dishonesty and/or personal incompetence in running AHTC (and previously Punggol), ethical and morally acceptable to you three?
5. Are your actions not reminiscent of, and not dissimilar to that of City Harvest's Kong Hee and his wife, Sun Ho?
