Workers’ Party’s AHPETC becomes a directly-managed town council
The Workers’ Party’s Aljunied-Hougang Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) ceased to be managed by a Managing Agent on 15 July, WP MP Lee Lilian said on her
Facebook page on late Thursday night.
“For the last few months, my fellow MPs and I have been busy with the handover. Preparation for this day started as early as Feb this year,” Lee wrote, adding that she had been tasked with recruitment to build a team of staff capable of managing the estate.
Recruiters placed notices on the boards across the seven divisions managed by WP, a method which attracted applications. “I’m very heartened to note that despite the recent saga experienced by the TC, we have residents who wrote in to express their interest to join the TC. Although not all were found to be suitable, I am very touched to see residents coming forward,” Lee said.

It is public news that AHPE TC will not be managed by a Managing Agent from 15 July 2015. 15 July 2015 marks day 1 of our directly managed TC, a new beginning.
For the last few months, my fellow MPs and I have been busy with the handover. Preparation for this day started as early as Feb this year. As the MP in charge of HR (a new dept), my immediate task was to carry out recruitment to ensure we have enough quality staff strength to manage the estate. We have tried several methods to reach out to potential candidates and one of the methods was to put up recruitment notice on our notice boards across the 7 divisions that we managed.
I'm very heartened to note that despite the recent saga experienced by the TC, we have residents who wrote in to express their interest to join the TC. Although not all were found to be suitable, I am very touched to see residents coming forward
