(1) I read this article written with full of spite and anger by an ex-journalist.
(2) Objectivity is missing in the article.
(3) And obviously, neglecting those residents who want to reclaim the over-paid services $33million.

(1) This journalist seems to imply that the overpaid $33 million by the AHTC is acceptable to the residents.
(2) This journalist also seems to imply that by re-claiming the overpaid amount is attempt to fix the opposition.
(3) This journalist imply that Court is wrong in administering justice.

By killing the WP they will lose all respect not only from the voters of Aljunied but other constituencies as well. The world is laughing at a government that abuse and bullies their very own citizens.

Democracy died long time ago when lky came to power. Dividing voters and threatening them that though you pay taxes if you dont vote me your area will be less priority? So these citizens pay less taxes? Pap or govt forgotten their pay masters are the voters. Without taxes can the country has money to make money and pay them? Tragic! Deserving? Oppositions mp are singaporean too born here study here live here have families here. Please lah they are not FT or new citizens mostly. Pap got many converts.

"The way Education Minister Ong Ye Kung tried to destroy the credibility of respected poet and playwright Alfian Sa’at in the recent Yale-NUS Affair doesn’t offer much hope that politics will change under the new PAP leadership."
Don't be a joke, go read up the comments from Yale-NUS and find out the truth why the course is cancelled.

Anyone knows how citizens can sue PAP for the below losses that are no less serious than AHTC's? I am thinking to engage the proven Davinder Singh but not sure if he is considered a "conflicted person" if he were to act for Singaporeans?
SCDF
The Auditor-General's Office (AGO) noted that 104 out of 926 records of scheduled vehicular maintenance jobs, totalling $1.35 million, were inauthentic. Later, it was found that the records had been created and backdated by three SCDF officers and the contractors involved.
PEOPLE'S ASSOCIATION
PA was rapped for contract management and procurement lapses for contracts amounting to about $1.9 million for the Chingay Parade and Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.
In one case, a PA officer was allowed to buy Chingay costumes from overseas vendors amounting to $142,200, and to pay for them in cash or through a remittance agent, instead of going through the Government's GeBiz portal.
The officer then claimed reimbursements using cash sales receipts. The AGO found some receipts had tell-tale signs that cast doubts on their authenticity.
MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
Mindef overpaid fees for grass-cutting for six years, amounting to about $200,000.
This was mainly due to overstatement of the area involved.
MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
Delays in payments to contractors ranged from three months to more than three years for 30 school construction projects, which amounted to $13.61 million, the AGO said.
There were also instances when modifications to construction contracts were not properly managed, resulting in an estimated overpayment of $154,900, it added.
IMMIGRATION AND CHECKPOINTS AUTHORITY
ICA was found to have let the ICA Recreation Club (ICARE) set up photo booths on its premises without charging rent, which would have totalled an estimated $6.1 million.
The Home Affairs Ministry has since been advised by MOF that given the changes in government policy, ICA should seek to recover the roughly $6 million in rent forgone since 2002, the AGO said.
