FINALLY, The Independent-Singapore (TI-SG) finally broke their silence on the KPMG's report on AHTC.
And they gave the only defence they could think of for AHTC: PAP has not taken up the CPIB challenge. LOL
They hope that with that charge, they can continue to fool people who read only the alternative. But how long can they continue to fool the people?
Currently WP is taking protection from the Town Council Act which renders MND powerless to compel any information from them. But all that will soon change by the end of this year. (http://bit.ly/2apPsGa)
TI-SG isn't the only one employing this line of defence. Sylvia Lim used it.
So did Low Thia Khiang at a rally during last year's general election. He had maintained that if there were any wrongdoing at AHPETC, the CPIB would have been involved.
His comments drew a swift response from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
[ Singapore must have higher standards for its politics than those of some opposition politicians who seem to believe that if they are not in jail, they must be doing okay, Mr Lee said.
His comment came shortly after Workers' Party chief Low Thia Khiang argued at a rally over in Hougang that the lapses at the Aljunied- Hougang-Punggol East Town Council were not investigated by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) and that was a sign that there was no wrongdoing.
PM Lee objected to the way that "when people do something wrong, they don't fix it, they don't admit it, they pretend it doesn't exist".
"And then sometimes they say, 'Well, I haven't been sent to jail. If I've done something wrong, I should have gone to jail. I'm not in jail, so everything is okay'.
"I think, if your standard for politics is that the people who are in politics should not be in jail, then I think Singapore is in very serious trouble," he said, adding: "We must have high standards for politics."
The questions politicians should ask themselves are whether they are doing the right thing and serving Singapore well, he said.] ST 3 Sep 2015
