<!-- message -->I am starting this as a new thread to highlight this very serious case of abuse by the Ang Mo Kio - Yio Chu Kang Town Council and the Area MP Inderjit Singh's not responding to this case because he is the AMK Town Council Chairman as double standards exercised by the PAP Government's "highly paid" civil servants' insensivity.

There are already two town councils trying to raise service and conservancy charges citing high costs of maintenance etc. I think this is an excuse to raise their own salaries of the CEO and their senior managers so as to keep "unique talents" who are there to carry out such abuse of Singapore Citizens.

My client is a Singapore Citizen.

I helped him to draft the letter to the Auditor-General to complain about the acts of the Town Council. The reply from the Auditor-General was the usual "cut and paste" format. No need to elaborate.

I helped him draft the letters to his MP, Inderit Singh, setting out the case in proper perspective. That is, how can the AMK-YCK TC imposed penalty and fines on bankrupts for outstanding. It was clear that the arrears incurred during his bankruptcy. The Town Council's position is that they are imposing the fines and penalty on "current" outstanding.

The next thing he got was a court summons under Criminal Procedure Code citing the Town Councils Act which attracted a fine of $1,000. I believed that the the Town Council chose to "charge" under the CPC and not the usual civil suit because they wanted to make sure they flex their muscles. The hatchet carrier is a lawyer, Jeffrey Beh from Lee Bon Leong and partners.

The MP for Kebun Baru was silent - he did not even bother to respond. The Town Council's CEO, Wan Chong Hock, responded with "instructions from the Town Council's chairman, i.e. the MP" citing the usual threats fo suit etc. and how to get the cancellation, i.e. pay the arrears and the fines penalty etc. More will be added if he did not pay.

The conclusion in the CEO letter was the usual please approach for financial assistance from the .... In short, "beg for mercy!".

The summons and not a civil suit is definitely an abuse of power and I hope the CPIB picks this case up.

Today article ST main pages Wednesday, March 17, 2010 gthe New frontiers for Singapore firms to growh. Letfs go into the detail to discuss the strategy used by PAP.
For Macro-Environment, the IE Singapore encourage more local big firm to invest in overseas industrial park managed by GIC and Temasek. This will result in more local ppl losing their jobs as big frim move up Singapore. This move will also have a serious impact on citizens living and country future survival.
For Micro-Environment, their strategy is to increase the cost of day to day living expenses and also increase the foreign workers levy for FT/FWs. Local that fall into the poverty will need to fight for a job with the FT/FWs for survival. The govt agency would not bother about the small firms and their budget only benefiting to the GLCs. This will force a lot of small companies to reduce cost/exit the industry in order to survive in this competitive business environment in Singapore.
After the PAP govt use the madia to claim the market have recover from the recession and increase their salary. Their policies will only benefit the elite mechanism and will not bring any wealth to ppl.
As we can see with the loss of big firm moving out to overseas and failure to attract foreign investment for replacement into Singapore. Companies will have no choice but to import more FT/FWs into Singapore which do not have any economic benefit to our stagnant market(Low end FT is different from expariates from western countries). This is a cause and effect on the failing policies.
1)The question is where the monies go to as well as the profit made in the past managed by GIC, Temasek & GLCs?
2)How long Singapore can last if still managed by that party?
3)Does PAP party with 82Mps bring value to Singapore today and are they worth us continue voting for them?
Think carefully on the Singapore future and let more opposition come in if we donft want to end up a slave society.
This slave strategy is a political move by the PAP govt to make all Singaporeans live in poverty and depend heavily on the govt subsidies/ goodies. This is a commonly known cash cow tactic to prey on the human greed and gain their political advancement (they give a pc of chicken bone and take a cow back).
1) They give you some money (GST credit, TC conservative charges, utility rebate, workfare bonus etc) and will use the money to jet up the economy. After then they will raise their salaries and claim that the economy has recovered. Although a lot of ppl is living in poverty due to job loss to FT/FW and the big firm moving out of Singapore lead by the govt agency.
Another intention is to buy vote through for favorable party to retain their $M salary for another 5 years. There is some strategy that works towards the slave society base on observation.
2)Jet up the cost of living
A lot ppl is busy with day to day living and donft have time to notice what is the govt doing. The poverty has also made many ppl lost their moral & judgment without knowing it. We are like a group of grasshoppers stored in a small container, stepping on each other under pressure. These policies have make people getting poorer each day with no future for tomorrow.
eg: High property price, utility bills, COE, ERP, high hospital bill, delay in CPF , TC conservative charges, education fee, transport charges, govt tax, GST, high residential and commercial rental , high civil servant salary.
As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting larger due to rising cost of living. Our life has gone from good to bad, bad to worse due to the govt policies to dry up our savings leaving nothing left for retirement. We have no choice but to work like a slave till we die and under their slave policies.
3) The Law
The law is a legal tool for PAP to rob ppl money. On one side they create a problem and the other side they provide a solution with no credibility. They jet up the high cost of living and want ppl to look for CDC (Wayang party) for financial assistance. Why not they reduce the cost of living to solve the problem! The CDC setup is waste of public money with no value and performance. There are some examples on how the agency use the law to gain benefits and let the poor citizen suffered with no aid.
Eg: Summon for TC conservative arrears, fine the pet owner, summon for PUB arrears, summon from HDB for illegal subletting , fine for drink driving (1 glass only), fine Monkey feeding, etc.
As you can see they use law to make ppl commit an offence, if you donft pay up will face heavy penalties. There are funny policies that are not in the public interest, it is just for them to make more money. There are some threads to prove how the govt agency used the law to rob ppl money.

4) The Media
The PAP use media to mislead the truth from public and confused the ppl with gossip news. Like the recent JN is a good example to divert attention on the real issues and failing policies. The govt use the media as a spokesmen for their political gain and hide their real intention and make Singaporean become a slave without knowing under the one and power party. There are a lot of good ppl and politician has been condemned by them using the media power. The media also use to destroy the ppl harmony (Dog bite dog/ ‹ç™ù‹çjand shaping all of us to the slave mentality to obey the master without questioning.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Another Ang mo kio complaint

Why am I not surprise, isn't it MIA LHL constituency
With such celebrities like that Wee something guy(father of the mole face girl), the burnt MP(can't remember name), Lim Bee Wah (the sports lady)

Ang Mo Kio has the best that PAP can offer:p

Prince LHL is TecK Ghee constituency....... neighbour to AMK GRC.

I understand from another officer at the TP-Bishan TC that they had to "go all the way" to recover arrears as they themselves will get demerit points for those cases under their charge with outstanding fees still owing.

Those with too many demerit points dun get any incentives / bonuses and may even be replaced by FTs. ..... so even if they empathise with the plight of the debtor..... end of the day it is still YOU DIE BETTER THAN I DIE ! :(

Didn't know about the demerit system.

If more people knew that such a system existed, and what the implications are, more might be tempted vote for the opposition.

Notice that there are fewer complaints about the TCs in the opposition wards.

The bankrupt will have more hope if he stays in HG or PP territory. In PAP territory, everyone is a dog deserving no compassion because LHL is good in fixing & exploiting Singaporeans of our hard-earned income.

Tech Ghee is one of the constituencies of AMK GRC.
