More & more funny bisinesses are surfacing. Maybe this has always been the case & it's just that the PAP have been less blatant about it
I predict an earlier election before more skeletons surface

If the parents can cook or look after the children. Not sure those parents staying in the columbarium can still do that.

[h=2]Fernvale Lea flat buyers want refund over columbarium[/h]
SAMANTHA BOH
SOME upset would-be residents of Fernvale Lea have asked the Housing Board for a refund for their flats over the columbarium issue.
They conveyed this to Lam Pin Min, MP for Sengkang West, during a three-hour closed-door dialogue which was attended by 400 people.
Despite assurances from him that there would not be a crematorium or funeral-parlour services at the Chinese temple, a group gathered around a table where they could leave contact details for HDB to call them about a refund.
It is unclear how many eventually left their details on the list.
Dr Lam, giving a quick rundown of the dialogue, said: "They felt uncomfortable that such a (columbarium) service would be provided there and have requested that HDB look into their request for a refund."
The Urban Redevelopment Authority and HDB in a joint statement later in the evening said that with regard to the refund, they will look into the matter.
There will be 3,258 residential units in the vicinity of the temple, spread across Build-to-Order projects Fernvale Lea and Fernvale Rivergrove, and executive condominium Lush Acres.
The Straits Times understands that one of the points made at the dialogue was about how HDB should have been more upfront about the Chinese temple housing a columbarium.
Dr Lam said that it was indicated in the Fernvale Lea brochure for the new flats. "There is really nothing to hide," he added.
He also noted that it is not uncommon to have columbarium services at places of worship.
Three temples within Anchorvale - Puat Jit Buddhist Temple, Nanyang Thong Hong Siang Tng Temple and Chee Hwan Kog Temple - already have similar set-ups.
Some of those who were at the dialogue, like project manager Vicky Naidu, 33, were concerned about how the resale value of their flat would be affected by all this, but said that rejecting the flat "is a very tough decision".
"We already waited for a house for so many years. It is not an easy decision to make overnight."

Re: Andrew Loh asks MP Lam to show brochure to support his FB claims
Forumers here may like to know that there is a columbarium in Punggol. The one in Fernvale Lea may just be like it.
See link. http://www.blia.sg/en/jingtutang.aspx
You might want to ask that devout Buddhist Minister in MND if this is his pet project.

Transcript from Sengkang resident-turned-heroine Sharon Toh asks the hard questions about Sengkang columbarium, mothership.sg on the same video.
In the first half of the clip, Fernvale Link resident Sharon Toh asked Hoo whether it was true that in a Dec. 30, 2014 The Straits Times report that Life Corp would be providing one-stop funeral services at the proposed Chinese temple at Fernvale Link.
Hoo clarified that the report was not verified and that only a temple with a columbarium would be built and there would be no funeral services provided.
The exciting part of the exchange came later after Hoo’s clarification where Toh asked some pointed questions. We give you a transcript:
Sharon Toh (speaking in Mandarin): You didn’t answer my question: is this piece of land managed by Life Corp or Eternal Pure Land?
Simon Hoo (speaking in English): To that question itself, Life Corp is the parent company; Eternal Pure Land itself is the owner, developer and operator of this temple site itself. So Eternal Pure Land will be operating it but the management is the same from Life Corp.
Sharon Toh: If that is the case, is Life Corp/Eternal Pure Land registered as a religious organisation in Singapore?
Simon Hoo: Eternal Pure Land is not a registered religious group.
Sharon Toh addressing the people in the audience: Ok, no (referring to Simon Hoo’s answer). *Members in the audience start applauding*
Sharon Toh: May I know if it is a not-for-profit organisation?
Simon Hoo (speaking in Mandarin now): No. *Members in the audience applaud*
Sharon Toh: Is it a registered charity?
Simon Hoo: No. *Members in the audience applaud*
Sharon Toh: If it’s ‘no’ to everything, you all should also not be registered with the Singapore Buddhist or Singapore Taoist Association. Am I right?
Simon Hoo: Yes, yes. *Members in the audience applaud*
Sharon Toh: If that’s the case how can you bid for this land in the name of a Chinese temple? *Members in the audience applaud*
If you are bidding in the name of Life Corp, I think this is a serious problem. If you are bidding in the name of Life Corp, a listed company, can I say that you are using religion as a way for your listed company … (drowned out by audience applause).
Dr Lam Pin Min (speaking in English): Maybe just before Simon answers the question, there is actually two aspects to this dialogue session, ok? The first aspect is having the Chinese temple with columbarium service located in Fernvale Link. That’s one aspect. I think there will be other residents who will actually be quite concerned about this aspect.
Then the other aspect will be actually the tendering and the running of the Chinese temple activities. All right? Ok, so we have to separate it very clearly and, of course, we will have Mr Simon as well as URA and HDB here to actually help us answer some of this questions.
Sharon Toh: But Mr Lam, if he (Simon and Life Corp) does not belong to any religious groups, how can they call it a Chinese Temple? *Members in the audience applaud, someone off-camera says ‘Basket’*
Dr Lam Pin Min: Later our HDB and URA colleagues will help explain these queries. So we don’t want to jump to conclusion yet. All right?
Member of the audience off-camera: Why not explain now?
Dr Lam Pin Min: Because we want to have some sequence, lah. We don’t want to jump all over the place. We have time, ok? We have all the time to answer all the quest(video cuts off).
