Thambi Shammed must have made an arbitrage by renting out his bungalow at Queen Astrid Park.

You trying to say that both this two ministers do not owned a land property of their own ? They must have ,before they rented this , question is whether their landed property is still around, sold off or rented out ?

Thanks for your reply. No where in my post did I said the 2 ministers do not own properties of their own or even alleged such. Do remember that both ministers are already drawing substantial salaries as professionals before they joined Public Service. What they do with their funds or properties legally earned & how they manage such are their private affair. Although they are now public figures, they are not slaves. They are still entitled to privacy.

However, their private affairs legally earned are not RELEVANT to the issue of 'Conflict of Interest' here. As I outlined in my post, had there been any of such, or had all the frustrations been merely petty & envy politics, with aims to topple the career of two of our VALUABLE Cabinet Ministers & drive schisms between the People & Govt?

Simply,as pap ministers,they are answerable to the taxpayers of Singapore.

No they aren't. Taxpayers are mere citizens who have no authority over the government whatsoever. Their influence is limited to one vote each every 5 years and nothing more. Between the elections the government of the day has the mandate to govern as it pleases. If sufficient numbers of taxpayers decide that someone else can do a better job the election outcome will reflect the collective will of the electorate at subsequent elections.

Indulging in the politics of envy over a couple of bungalows by isn't going change anything.

To punish both of them….make them stay in HDB 3 room flat for 2 years.

It is not about the politics of envy.The ministers are governed by the 2005 Code of conduct for Ministers paper laid before parliament by command of the President of the republic of Singapore "A minister therefore must never enter into any transactions whereby his private financial interest might, even conceivably,come into conflict with his public duty".

How does living in colonial house conflict with public duties?

Will the two Orh Per, use their priviledge in parliament to spread falsehood and then followed with crocodile tears?

There is conflict of interest here because the landlord SLA is under the control of the Ministry of Law?

In 2019 the Shammed fella even appointed the CEO of SLA.

I think he could not resist the temptation to rent out his Queen Astrid Park GCB for say $200,000 pm or more and rent Ridout Rd for $$30,000 - $40,000 pm.

To make an arbitrage to gain is a violation of the 2005 Code of conduct for ministers.

How many Children does these two MiniStars have ?
Are they staying in these properties to have a 3-Generational Family ?
How really necessary ?

Life is more fun when you do things that are not necessary.
