Teo Ho Pin blames residents for S&C arrears
September 25, 2009

Dr Teo Ho Pin, coordinating chairman of the 14 PAP-run councils, had lashed out at residents for S&C arrears in PAP estates which will affect their performance in a new report card on how well they run estates is released next year.

At its worst, some 8 per cent to 9 per cent of households in HDB estates managed by these councils have payments outstanding for three months or more, he complained to the state media.

That could translate to a poorer grade for one of the four categories in which councils are to be assessed in the first Town Council Management Report, to be released by June next year.

Councils will be assessed in four areas: the cleanliness of estates; maintenance; the performance of lifts; and how councils deal with arrears in S&C charges.

The monthly charges – which range from $18 to $85 depending on the type of flat – form the bulk of funds that councils collect and use to maintain estates.

Aljunied Town Council chairman Cynthia Phua accused some residents of blatantly refusing to pay their S&C charges though they have the means to do so and threatened to take them to court:

“Some own cars and send children overseas to study, but tell us: We don’t have money to pay you. We can take them to court but it’s a long process. The cost of collecting payments is also high in terms of manpower costs and legal expenses,” she said.

Dr Teo also said yesterday that the PAP-run councils have systems in place which would enable them to do well in the other assessment areas – estate cleanliness, maintenance and lift operations.

The Ministry of National Development introduced the framework for ranking the Town Councils following public furore over the loss of million of dollars of sinking funds from failed structure-linked products last year.

The Town Councils involved are PAP-controlled estates while the two opposition constituencies did not invest their sinking funds in such risky investments.

Dr Teo’s Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council was reported to have lost about $8 million dollars from its investments following the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

the main reason residents are scuttling their C&C charges is because they dont want mangy dog Teo to gamble away the residents' money with useless structured investment products.
So far, did mangy dog Teo apologised for this mishap? No? Did he mention anything to make good the "loss" for the investments? No?

I am puzzled! It seems that PAP is more concerned about how their town councils' ranking would be affected by Singaporeans not able to pay their fees instead on the fundamental reason why 8% to 9% of Singaporeans couldn't afford to pay the fees! Pretty Sickening!

He should look at their lost investment and high bonus instead of blaming it at the residents.:oIo:

Indeed, the Old Fart ranks his ministars on how much $$$ they can collect for him and his butch-in-law to gamble away!

GMS,

The PAP only wishes to Wayang and nothing more. Coming from one such a party yourself, I'm sure you can appreciate.

Typical "numbers" games that these dogs are playing. INstead of focusing on the big picture that the ranking exercise is supposed to make them perform better FOR the residents, they look at ways of making their positions higher in the ranking by screwing the residents. :oIo:

Councils will be assessed in four areas: the cleanliness of estates; maintenance; the performance of lifts; and how councils deal with arrears in S&C charges.

Interestingly, nowhere in that statement did it say residents' feedback will be a consideration in the assessment. I have no clue what would be the use of such an assessment not taken from the residents' perspective.

Don't you all keep asking me, where have ALL THE TC investment money gone! It's you pigeon Holers that owe me money NOT the other way round!

 

[ChaoPappyPoodle]

It is a typical pappie tactic to put the onus and the blame on Singaporeans and they and the 154th decide when and where the game is played out.

Our pappie doctor has already covered his backside with his first foray, notice no mention on the millions lost in investments. It will soon be a forgotten story and made to disappear like it never existed.

These TC will do their utmost to get their money back from Singaporeans. It is typical of pappies and their cronies to make you pay until you lose everything you have. MY understand is that they have contractual lawyers to send demand letters to late payers and the legal costs are borne by those in default of tehir monthly conservancy charges. All this talk about legal costs being high is meant to mislead. Yes it is high, but the legal costs are paid for by those in arrears and not the TCs. ALl this is part of the contract that homeowners have with HDB and TCs. If they have to get a lawyer to make you pay then you are to pay for their legal fees.

hi there


1. this is exactly an arsehole talking through his hole.
2. instead zero on into the most crucial matter, arsehold sidetracked.
3. what is 8% vs the millions lost and still unsettled.

 

[oli9]

Until today, Mangy dog Teo has not repent for all his undoing. Has the TC tried any avenues to recover any monies from the bombed investments? If they have, at least update the public lest we get the wrong idea. Is this some pariah dog accountability being displayed here?

 

[niigata]

I hope more people will go about not paying C&C fees....
after all, these town councils are not in need of cash, why bother?
