SINGAPORE — Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat will be introducing a motion in Parliament next Tuesday (Nov 5) that will call on Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) to require Workers’ Party (WP) leaders Sylvia Lim and Low Thia Khiang to “recuse themselves” from all financial matters related to AHTC.
In a notice paper sent to Members of Parliament (MPs) which was seen by TODAY, the motion would “affirm the vital importance of MPs maintaining high standards of integrity and accountability”.

The parliamentary motion introduced by Mr Heng, who is also Finance Minister, comes after High Court Judge Kannan Ramesh called out the WP MPs for dishonest and improper conduct, in a verdict delivered after a year-long trial.
Besides reiterating the judgment made that Ms Lim and Mr Low “acted dishonestly” and were “in breach of their fiduciary duties”, the motion also added that their conduct “lacked integrity and candour”.
