Selected quotes from Whampoa residents:

“Do you think they (Town Council) will open their account for you to see ? This is the problem.” (in mandarin)

“You know this time you are busy with your own life and all, just let them (Town Councils) handle everything.”

“The loss is minimal…. A few million dollars compared to their few hundred million dollars in their funds is below like 0.1%.”

“If you invest, you should let the residents know first and not only now after you made a loss….They (Town Councils) should open their account books for us to see, we don’t know what they are doing at all” (in mandarin)

“The sinking funds should be put in banks as it is more safe, as for investments, there will be risks involved.

that just goes to show how many out there are learned & truly understand the implications of such irresponsible acts. needless to say, explains how 66.6% of voters vote as well.

Sounds like the Papayas would be returned to power with 90% mandate in the next GE.

People are just scared sometimes, that has led to the PAP winning 66%
