<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to Ms Sylvia Lim's letter on Thursday, 'WP rebuts ministry's reply on lift upgrading', in response to the Ministry of National Development's (MND) earlier explanations on the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) in Hougang.
As we have pointed out, the LUP is carried out and funded by the Government, not the local Member of Parliament. The Government tasks the local adviser to grassroots organisations to work with all interested parties, including the MP, to implement the LUP. This is not a matter of protocol, but because of the need to implement government programmes through persons and agencies answerable to the Government. Opposition MPs do not answer to the Government, and implementing the LUP is not one of their constitutional or legal duties.
We do not expect the Workers' Party to accept these basic facts, and we will agree to disagree. In the final analysis, the people of Singapore will decide. In the meantime, the interests of Hougang residents are best served by concrete actions, not words.
The MND and HDB will continue to work with the grassroots adviser and other stakeholders in Hougang to implement the LUP in the constituency.
Lim Yuin Chien
Press Secretary to the
Minister for National Development

"Opposition MPs do not answer to the Government"...... so who do they answer to?

and there is no "corruption" in sg, esp in politics? as far as i'm concerned, this govt's high-handed ways stink to high hell!

The Press Secretary is challenging the ego of Singaporeans now. He seems to be not able to find a good answer to the problem raised. In fact the LUP is just a project to rectify the slip the HDB made in their haste to be more flats. They has overlooked in their projection the number of old peope in the 21st century and to cover it, they call it the LUP.

What bloody concrete actions is he talking abt?..... LUP... thought pap had all along been threatening residents of both wards that if they didnt vote for pap in the GE there wont be any LUP or their estates would be pushed to the end on the LUP programme list... what a bloody U-turn...
