PAP, WP spar over changes to Town Councils Act
By Neo Chai Chin Published: 12:15 AM, March 11, 2017 Updated: 12:50 AM, March 11, 2017 SINGAPORE — After almost four years in the making, amendments to the Town Councils Act that give the Ministry of National Development (MND) more power to investigate suspected irregularities, among other changes, were passed in Parliament yesterday. Opposing the Bill, Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Workers’ Party (WP) slammed the amendments over the new powers that will be given to the MND, and this in turn drew sharp criticism from the People’s Action Party MPs. Under the new laws, the ministry will be able to periodically conduct compliance reviews of town councils, appoint inspectors (who may be public servants or professionals) to conduct the reviews, and order the town councils to take remedial actions. Previously, the MND did not have the authority to get town councils to submit any information beyond annual financial statements, or to intervene where there is non-compliance detected. The new powers of oversight have the potential for abuse and “would not necessarily ensure good outcomes for Singapore, but rather politically good outcomes for the ruling party”, argued WP MP (Aljunied GRC) Pritam Singh during the debate. Fellow Aljunied GRC MP Sylvia Lim said corporate governance experts have noted that having town councils report to the MND is “problematic”, as the Minister and his deputies are also involved in running town councils. “Is the Minister a suitable gatekeeper, with these massive conflicts of interest?” Ms Lim asked. She also asked if it was tenable for public servants to be inspectors of town councils run by, say, the Minister for National Development or the Prime Minister. continue reading here : http://m.todayonline.com/singapore/p...n-councils-act

Right to free speech not absolute in any country: Singapore's High Commissioner to the UK
Posted 17 Mar 2017 14:47 Updated 17 Mar 2017 14:50 SINGAPORE: Singapore's High Commissioner to the UK Foo Chi Hsia has responded to a recent article in The Economist alleging restrictions on free speech in Singapore. Ms Foo said no country gives an absolute right to free speech. "When this right is extended to fake news, defamation or hate speech, society pays a price," she wrote in a letter to the UK-based weekly, citing the Brexit campaign and elections in the US and Europe. "Trust in leaders and institutions, including journalists and the media, has been gravely undermined, as have these democracies," she added. "In contrast, international polls show that Singaporeans trust their government, judiciary, police and even media." The article in The Economist, titled Grumble and be Damned, alleged that while the Singapore Government says it welcomes criticism, its critics still suffer. Specifically, the article cited the case of blogger Han Hui Hui and two other activists who were involved in a protest over the management of the Central Provident Fund (CPF) at the Speakers' Corner in 2014. In response, Ms Foo said: "They were not charged for criticising the government, but for loutishly barging into a performance by a group of special-education-needs children, frightening them and denying them the right to be heard." Ms Han, 24, was found guilty and fined S$3,100 last June for disrupting the charity event for special needs children at the Speakers' Corner at Hong Lim Park, by leading the rowdy protest which she organised without approval from the National Parks Board. In her letter published in the magazine's Mar 18 issue, Ms Foo argued that Singaporeans have free access to information and the Internet, including to The Economist. continue reading here : http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/...s/3603566.html

Good communication vital to Singapore's success: Shanmugam
By Koh Swee Fang Valerie Published: 4:00 AM, April 10, 2017 Updated: 6:58 AM, April 10, 2017 SINGAPORE — People know that a strong internal and external defence, provided by the police, civil defence and armed forces, has been the foundation for prosperity, safety and confidence in the Republic. But Singapore’s success was also partly due to the Government’s ability to communicate, and grassroots leaders going around to explain, the need for National Service, which was “deeply unpopular” in 1967, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said yesterday. And amid the terror threat around the world today, communication remains vital, stressed Mr Shanmugam at an NS appreciation ceremony in Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency. “Because if there’s an attack, you want the grassroots leaders to go out into the community, assuage concerns, tell people not to be worried, tell them not to listen to rumours (and say) these are the facts, let’s keep calm, come together ... and we’ll defeat the terrorists,” he said. The People’s Association’s community networks are critical for this task, he added, especially as part of the SGSecure movement. This was also a role played by the PA during the Konfrontasi conflict with Indonesia in the 1960s. Mr Shanmugam recounted how the PA worked with the police to administer the voluntary vigilante corps from 1964 to guard crowded places and key installations. He also spoke about the circumstances faced by Singapore in 1967, when NS began. continue reading here : http://www.todayonline.com/singapore...gapore-success

Teo Ser Luck returns to private sector to help start-ups and businesses
27 Apr 2017 06:52PM (Updated: 27 Apr 2017 07:00PM) SINGAPORE: Minister of State for Manpower and Mayor of North East CDC Teo Ser Luck will be returning to the private sector after requesting to step down from public office, announced the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Thursday (Apr 27). Mr Teo, who has spent more than 10 years as an office holder, said it is a decision that he has "thought through for a while." In a Facebook post, he revealed that he plans to "build, create, invest or help start-ups and businesses. Some are tech related while others will be in products or services which I'm passionate about." He added: "I have decided to go back to (the) private sector to continue my journey and also have some time for the family." Mr Teo, 48, will continue to serve Sengkang Central division as a Member of Parliament for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC. He will relinquish his appointment as Minister of State on Jun 30, and as mayor when his current term ends on May 26. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday thanked Mr Teo for his contributions. "Ser Luck has contributed much in the ministries he served in – Transport, MTI, Manpower – and worked with his fellow mayors on many meaningful projects. I thank him for his contributions and wish him all the best in his future endeavours," PM Lee said in a Facebook post. Mr Teo was first elected as a Member of Parliament in 2006 as part of the People's Action Party's (PAP) team in the Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency (GRC).

PM Lee denies claims made by siblings
“Ho Ching and I deny these allegations, especially the absurd claim that I have political ambitions for my son,” Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong says, in response to the public statement issued by Mr Lee Hsien Yang and Dr Lee Wei Ling. 14 Jun 2017 10:13AM (Updated: 14 Jun 2017 02:33PM) SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday (Jun 14) denied the allegations made by his siblings – Mr Lee Hsien Yang and Dr Lee Wei Ling –and said he was “very disappointed” that they chose to issue a statement publicising private family matters. “I am deeply saddened by the unfortunate allegations that they have made. Ho Ching and I deny these allegations, especially the absurd claim that I have political ambitions for my son,” he said in a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office. The siblings of PM Lee had earlier on Wednesday issued a public statement saying they have “lost confidence” in their brother and that they “do not trust him”. They also said, based on their interactions, that PM Lee and his wife “harbour political ambitions for their son, Li Hongyi”. The statement by Dr Lee and Mr Lee, titled “What has happened to Lee Kuan Yew’s values?” was published on their Facebook pages. “While siblings may have differences, I believe that any such differences should stay in the family. Since my father’s passing in March 2015, as the eldest son I have tried my best to resolve the issues among us within the family, out of respect for our parents,” PM Lee said. “My siblings’ statement has hurt our father’s legacy.” OXLEY ROAD HOME ISSUE A major part of the siblings' statement concerns the plans to demolish the home of their father, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. “Lee Kuan Yew made clear in public and private that he wished that his home at 38 Oxley Road be demolished upon his passing,” they said. They went on to claim that PM Lee has opposed this wish, alleging that he has an incentive to preserve the house “to inherit (Lee Kuan Yew’s) credibility”. “We are private citizens with no political ambitions. We have nothing to gain from the demolition of 38 Oxley Road, other than the knowledge that we have honoured our father’s last wish,” the statement said. Before his death on Mar 23, 2015 at the age of 91, Mr Lee Kuan Yew had stated in his will his desire that the house be demolished after his passing, or after Dr Lee - who still stays at the address - has moved out. Three weeks after his father’s death, PM Lee said in Parliament that he intended to fulfil his father’s wishes and recuse himself from any Government decision made on the house.
