  (1) They should be recuse from handling financial matters as the High Court verdict found them guilty --- as part of professional practice - while they apply to the Court of Appeal.
  
  (2) This is a responsibility of the AHTC to the residents of Aljunied GRC.
  
  (3) Anything less is lack of accountability and responsibility to the residents of Aljunied GRC.

  You have lapses, losses in investment and many unjust laws. Why not bring them to court.
  Shame on you who has no justice and no logic thinking.

  @Awareandknow -
  (1) Both of them are found guilty of "not honest" and "improper conduct".
  
  High Court verdict :-
  "High Court judge Kannan Ramesh said that WP Members of Parliament Mr Low Thia Khiang and Ms Sylvia Lim were not only derelict in appointing a managing agent for Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) without calling for a tender, they had also painted a narrative that was "misleading and not honest" in order to do so."
  
  "Their conduct was improper and the attempt to cloak the same with a veneer of truth and credibility collectively leads to the conclusion that they had not acted honestly and therefore breached their duty of unflinching loyalty to AHTC as fiduciaries,"
  
  (2) As to your comments on lapses - they are "compliance audit" --- due to infamiliarity of audit process, internal control or tender process --- which are common not only in Government but also in many corporates.
  
  (3) Your suggestion of investment loss and unjust law (pass in Parliament) - is a Court case ???????????????

  (1) You are contradicting what the High Court Judge verdict?
  
  (2) This tantamount to "Contempt of Court".
  
  (3) They are not guilty only if they are acquitted by the Court of Appeal upon appeal.
  
  (4) As it stand now, they are guilty.

AHTC constituencies run by WP lose of million of dollars due to collecting less SC&C and not increase them like other constituencies which keep increasing them.
AHTC receive the best maintenance and services for spending more for its residents and its properties.

  "AHTC constituencies run by WP lose of million of dollars due to collecting less SC&C and not increase them like other constituencies which keep increasing them."
  --
  (1) Can you check how much AHTC conservancy charges versus the rest of the GRCs --- is it the lowest or keep increasing them?
  
  (2) A short check on some GRCs has lower charges than AHTC.

  Residents of all constituencys have been waiting for more than 10 years for MND to propose and implement protective measures against reckless use of Town Council Sinking Funds for investment in risky shares like Lehmann Brothers shares.
  
  Till today, no disciplinary actions have been taken the Members of Parliament.

  WP Mr Low Thia Khiang and Ms Sylvia Lim at that point in time had to make a discretionary decisive decision as MP of Aljunued Hougang GRC to ensure that there is no disruption in the daily Town Council operations and no breakdown of essential services which is an assurance to the residents. This decisive decision to hire an experienced managing agent proved to be effective and efficient in performing the daily Town Council operations and essential services.
  
  The decisive decision and action is commendable compared to the wasteful spending of Town Council sinking funds of 12 million dollars which disappeared into thin air without a trace.
  
  Their leadership quality is even commendable given their totally unexpected difficult circumstances they faced when they took over the town council after the 2011 General Election. Bear in mind, MND did not lift a finger to assist in the transition period.
  
  Their most commendable leadership is their ability to let others take over the decision in financial matters and not clinging onto powers of authority on financial affairs of the Town Council management.
  
  Three cheers for Mr Low and Ms Lim!
  
  Hip! Hip! Hip! Hooray!
  
  Looking forward to their contribution to the economy of Singapore, their support on foreign affairs affecting Singapore and their dedication in serving their residents for many more years to come!

  PAP did say they will do nothing but spend their time fixing the Oppositions, from AIM saga, withholding of funds, to Charlie Cong. Those were factual events and as such I'll still vote for WP, the Honarable Lim and Low.

  A bigger surprise will come in GE . Singaporeans will vote to tell the ruling party that you are arrogant , incompetent , abuse of power , double standards, you don't deserve the highest paid politicians in the world .although you have " no corruption " but your " legal corruption " is more serious than corruption .I firmly believe several ministers who are incompetent will kana kick out by votes .
