Ho Thian Poh

Netizens have been asking if this duo role of Mr Ho may have led to a possible conflict of interest. Besides Jurong, UGL Premas Limited manages Marine Parade, West Coast and Hong Kah Town Councils as well.
Mr Ho first came into public spotlight when he sacked an opposition supporter purportedly for ‘poor performance’ one day after she was spotted by fellow colleagues selling merchandise at an opposition rally.
It turns out that Mr Ho is also the PAP branch secretary of Bukit Batok East.
Another possible case of conflict of interest involves Aljunied Town Council which is managed by CPG Facilities Management. The General Manager of Aljunied Town Council Mr Jeffrey Chua is also the Managing Director of CPF Facilities Management. It is not known if he is a PAP member as well.
It is a common knowledge that grassroots organizations and Town Councils have long been politicized to become ‘political tools’ of the PAP regime.
PAP branch secretaries often wear many hats at the grassroots levels – some hold multiple positions such as Chairman of Community Clubs, Town Council managers and Chairman of Citizen Consultative Committees at the same time.
According to PAP strongman Lee Kuan Yew, all grassroots organizations such as CCs, CCCs and RCs are ‘part of the PAP.’

Ha ha.
The people of Aljunied remembers him well, very well.
His company was the first to raise conservancy charges in Aljunied immediately after the last elections.

 

[Confuseous]

There needs to be a systematic way of flushing these guys out, especially those under PAP hands, to identify these incestuous relationships.
And taking taxpayers for a ride.

[NoNewsGood]

This is the typical textbook example of "conflict of interests".

 

[Papsmearer]

The way that the PAP has craftily set it up, this is all legal. The elected MP can select the Chairman of the TC. Its up to him who he wants to put in as TC, but in most cases, it is a PAP lackey, like this guy Ho. Its up to Ho to decide which facilities managment company to hire. As long as the tender and bid process is open and transparent, they can justify it. Where it becomes murky is the fact that Ho can decide to make more profit for his company UGL Premas by raising the conservancy charges at the TC and paying it to Emasco, and giving some stupid excuse to justify it. The whole of singapore is one big conflict of interest anyway. The CPIB can spend 50 many years investigating it all. Start with why Lee Con You's law firm can get so many govt, contracts.

 

[KuanTi01]

These PAP lackeys should be exposed as they are dangerous snakes. They are also acting in conflict of interests! Members of the public should be protected from them!

 

[GoldenDragon]

The 6 opposition MPs and 3 NCMPs should flag this up in parliament. Only opposition MPs have the courage to raise such issues.

The PAP Organisation is like an octopus with all its tentacles wrapped around companies that support the country's infrastructure. Like in defence there are many GLCs such as ST Group, CPG and PREMAS. These huge organisations depend on government contracts without which they will not survive. Each organisation by itself has numerous subsidiaries and they employ thousands of locals besides FTs and FWs.
