[h=1]PAP MP Charles Chong: I feel sorry for Punggol East Residents[/h]admin / 3 hours ago August 25, 2015





In his media interview with Chinese reporters, PAP MP for Joo Chiat Charles Chong poured sarcasm at the Workers’ Party-held Punggol East SMC saying he feel sorry for their residents because Aljunied GRC made a mess out of their town council accounts.

Currently also the Chairman for Punggol East PAP branch, MP Charles Chong was the MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC from 2001 to 2011 and he claimed that residents were delighted and the morale of the grassroots were very high when they heard him “coming home” to contest against the Workers’ Party MP Lee Lilian.
In recent weeks, MP Charles Chong has been conducting Meet-the-people sessions in Punggol East, seemingly suggesting that he has abandoned his residents at Joo Chiat when the Prime Minister announced that Joo Chiat SMC will be merged into other GRCs. PAP MP Charles Chong barely won the Joo Chiat SMC from the Workers’ Party candidate Yee Jenn Jong by only 388 votes in the last GE.
Charles Chong has also only recently announced his retirement from the Singapore Airlines this year (2015), and it appears the Prime Minister is sending a retiree MP to test the ground at Punggol East SMC. The SMC was won by the Workers’ Party in a by-election triggered by a resignation from a high profile extra-marital affair from its previous PAP MP Michael Palmer.
The PAP candidates have been playing up the lapses of the Workers’ Party’s management of the town council which have been in trouble with financial technicalities after the Ministry of National Development repeatedly refuses to release more than S$14 million of government grants despite losing 2 court cases.
National policies have since taken a back seat and PAP candidates are swerving away from bread and butter topics like immigration, retirement and public transport.

The government refuses to release the funds because WP wants all the grant money to go into sinking funds.

Government says cannot. Why? Because the PAP TCs can't follow. PAP TCs are inefficient ...they collect more from residents, get more grants from government, yet they are barely getting by.

The WP TC, on the other hand, is able to manage with only fees from residents. They have done it for 2 years! The government grants, if it is ever released, will go to the sinking fund.

So, the PAP Government kicks up a big fuss of financial mismanagement. Yet, after hiring two expensive PWC partners to do a forensic audit, they found nothing. All they could cook up is POSSIBLE financial lapses. Well, the AGO found lots of financial lapses in the ministries involving more money, why didn't the government get PWC, EY, Deloitte partners to audit those ministries? Penny wise, pound foolish.

PAP is a money guzzler! You can see it with the $12 billion budget for MINDEF with NO accountability. Temasek and GIC losing 1/3 of our reserves on China. Where is the accountability?

LLL will give CC his chance to become a retiree soon. His MP pension $ more than enough to live comfortably.

I am surprise that he feels so much for the lesser mortals.

It is said when old dogs bark, their bark sounds 'hollow'....yes, it's really true if one had heard old dogs barked before.

Their bark lacks energy. It is as though , it is an attempt to make some sound to prove to it's owner that it still serves some purpose lest it maybe put to sleep.

But some old dogs never stop barking. They bark unnecessarily and annoy their owners and neighbours. Such dogs are usually send off to the shelter and needless to say, are eventually put to sleep.

So how do you think old dogs should behave? Especially when for some dogs, strangely for every 5 years, they start to bark unnecessarily for no good reasons. LoLoLoL

This idiot, after so many years, still cannot be Speaker. Goes to show he is pai sample only. If Halimah can be Speaker and CC overlooked even after many years as Deputy, need we say more of this man?

He was passed over because this guy is a loser, walks like a loser, talks like a loser.
His self-professed immortality stems from his life-long streak of looooooosing;
he is an Immortal Loser.
