Video interview of Ang Mo Kio residents on loss of Town Council funds

[Avantas]

Since it was revealed in Parliament on Monday that the PAP Town Councils have invested a total sum of S$16 million dollars in the structure-linked products, there was a huge furore in cyberspace with many netizens lambasting the Twon Councils for their misjudgement and there were demands for their accounts to be checked.

In spite of the huge interest in this issue, the mainstream media has been curiously silent on the views of Singaporeans.

According to a Straits Times report, Ang Mo Kio-Yio Chu Kang Town Council has invested a total sum of S$1.5 million dollars in the credit-linked products.

On 20 November 2008, The Singapore Enquirer visited Ang Mo Kio Central and asked the residents there directly on their views.

We approached 52 people, out of which 20 agreed to be interviewed.

After watching the interview, no wonder PAP always got elected. So many dumb idiots in Singapore. I just love to watch PAP continue screwing their arse. Hope CPF go to zero. Then see if they still "don't know" and "let them loh".

although the response is more or less expected, but still sad to see it.

Even they are willing to be slaves, do they want their children to be slaves too?

pls choose your battle properly

you cannot blame PAP for everything

that discredit the opposition


town council invest in fixed deposit help the people to gain more services.

they have money to be spend at end of the year, putting it in investment, allow more money to be available for the people for services.


PAP did the right thing. Please find something else to blame PAP.

Good job. Would be more representative if the interviewees are of a wider cross section of young and old and please....no need to interview females. Most of them fall into two groups. First group are those who are current affairs challenged. Second group are current affairs challenged and kiasi, kiaboh, kiasu. Will vomit blood interviewing them.

 

[makapaaa]

Now u understand why I need to replace Sporns with FTs? I'm so ashamed of the no. of clowns under my jurisdiction! *hee*hee*​

The Singapore Enquirer will soon overtake Media Corp as the people choice for news

Selected quotes from Ang Mo Kio residents:

“I think most people will want the government to be more transparent as it is the people’s money.” (in mandarin.”

“They should be treated as charities and publish their accounts on the internet or the RC notice board.”

“The government should let the people know how the funds are managed.” (in mandarin)

“The sinking funds should be put in banks.” (in mandarin)

no matter what happened, singaporeans will always support the work and efforts of our gahment - good or bad, they will always support our gahment. this is a fact.no way can our people betray a world class governance that had brought them from the swamp world to the first world. majulah singapura!!!

you can go and interview the people, but in the end, the people will still vote in the same gahment.
