Review of sale to AIM extended again
SINGAPORE — The review on the sale of software by People’s Action Party (PAP) town councils to PAP-owned company Action Information Management (AIM) has once again been extended.
The Ministry of National Development (MND), which is conducting the review, had said at the beginning of last month that it was extending the review by a month.
In response to TODAY’s queries as to whether the review had concluded, the MND said the review was still proceeding and that “the team expects to complete the review soon”, but did not specify when.
“The review was originally meant to be completed within two months but was extended as both the MPs and the Review Team were tied up with the March 2013 Committee of Supply debates,” the ministry said.
It reiterated that the review team “has been actively engaging the town councils and AIM on their transactions and are examining the statements and inputs given to its queries”.
The ministry had been tasked by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to conduct the review “in the interest of transparency” in January, following accusatory exchanges between the Workers’ Party (WP) and PAP town councils and AIM.
Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council Chairman Sylvia Lim had claimed that the town council’s poor performance in managing its services and conservancy charges arrears was caused by the termination of IT services with AIM.
In the midst of the exchanges, it was revealed that the software in 14 PAP town councils was sold to AIM — the sole bidder — in a tender conducted in 2010.
When contacted, Ms Lim said that she and her team have had no contact with the MND since early last month.
Asked about the extension, she said it would be more appropriate to comment after the review findings are announced.
Mountbatten Member of Parliament Lim Biow Chuan, who sits on the Government Parliamentary Committee for National Development and the Environment, said that it would not be fair to pre-judge the reasons for the extension. He added: “Investigations do take time, I’m sure the Government is considering this very seriously.”

Only PAP can prejudge others, you can't prejudge the PAP. On the same note, if they wanted you out within one month, you better pack your bag or risked getting sued, the word "extension" is pretty rare when they treat citizens. As the the saying goes: They can't let the citizens light a candle but only PAP can allow to play with fire.

dey got even mor questions 2 answer ...
Little birds are telling me they are sweating and some want to use iron clad tactics to bully the people into amnesia. But another group realizes things have gotten too out of hand. And another group realize that to use the fist, they may get it back in the very near future which could be their own waterloo of the worst kind. Of course, there was one group that cannot see what is the problem as they feel they are smart and Singaporeans are stupid. But the verdict on the ground is clear - we do not care if it is white PAP or black PAP. As long as it is no longer around, it is a good PAP.
I see the AIM review like this:
Khaw Boon Wan is now grabbing Teo Ho Ping's ball and threaten to pull it.
Teo Ho Ping's is holding Lee Hsien Loong neck (ready to strangle him if Khaw pull his balls)
Lee Hsien Loong is putting a baton into Khaw Boon Wan's ass (and will poke it if Teo tried to strangle him)
It is a really messy TRIPARTITE systems - they are so interrelated that PAP will not find a clear solution but continue to support its messiness.

The minister rejected the first draft, then the Dy PM rejected the second draft and PM rejected the third draft ...the millionaire scholar doing the work is sweating and making the junior scholars working under him sweat even more.
This is Sinkapore's much lauded 'efficiency'!

Don't expect logic or answer. PAP challenge now is to draft a POLITICALLY CORRECT reply and even though, it too, is challenging because the mistake is too glaring.

My prediction is correct, PAP said it did no wrong. There won't be a by-election is Bukit Panjang.
I am very happy it was the std Leegime reply. Now, the Pandora's box is open. The real show starts now.................
The report didn't answer lots of questions ...
1. How did the sale of software to AIM benefitted the PAP TCs?
2. Report concluded that there was no loss by the PAP TC BUT it did not account for the fact that the PAP TC still had employed headcounts to support the software and they had to pay a management fee;
3. Why did the PAP TC wanted to do business with a $2 company that had no expertise in the field?
