(1) If a person is found guilty of breach of fiduciary duties by a Court (while pending appeal) --- it is a common professional practice in Government sector or Commercial sector - to recuse the person from access to any financial matter pending the appeal.

(2) AHTC by not exercising the recuse - is in breach of trust to the residents of AHTC.

You can only find someone guilty in a criminal court. Was Low and Lim "found guilty"? Answer yes and you can be sued till ur pants drop by Low and Lim.

(1) Lapse of internal control due to unfamiliarity of audit, accounting or tender practices ---- is different from "dishonesty or deliberate cover up of breaching accounting practices".

(2) When an auditor point out the internal control lapse (which many companies or even govt dept will have encounter) with a compliance audit report --- improvement can be made to makeup for the lapse - and will not be guilty for dishonesty.

(3) But dishonesty or deliberate cover-up --- is a serious offense.

"fiduciary duties" could it mean "MY FATHER LAW" because I can't find its exact definition or the words in the Town Councils Act?. Aah! I see, "PAPi English". They breached "My Father LAW". hahaha LOL.

@Rinpoche
(1) The High Court will have found your comments as "Contempt of Court".

(2) Fiduciary duties in a financial sense exist to ensure that those who manage other people's money act in their beneficiaries' interests, rather than serving their own interests.

This is a Common Law - and need not be specified in the Town Council Acts.

@Ricky I - It is a fact that I can't find it in the Town Council Acts and mine is a genuine question, while your assertions will have been found "Contempt of Court" because you assert much more beyond what the court has said while the case is still ongoing.

Unless they are charged, otherwise what you said is precisely meaningless.

(1) Read the High Court Judge verdict :-

In connection with the AHTC case, last month, High Court Judge Kannan Ramesh delivered a verdict, wherein he called out Ms Lim and Mr Low for improper and dishonest conduct.
The Judge said that the WP MPs “acted dishonestly” and were “in breach of their fiduciary duties.”
According to the Judge, “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.”

@Rinpoche
(1) Read the ruling of the High Court Judge :-
The High Court has ruled that Workers’ Party secretary-general Pritam Singh, chairman Sylvia Lim and former secretary-general Low Thia Khiang are liable for damages suffered by Aljunied-Hougang Town Council.

(2) Unless and until the Appeal is successful, the High Court Judge verdict still stand.

  @ricky I - liable is not the same as guilty and is not a charge, which means they are not a criminal. I resent you painting the People's elected MPs beyond what the court has described though I am not in their TC.

  @Rinpoche
  (1) Recuse is professional practice while pending the Appeal that AHTC must impose on the 2 - but AHTC is doing the contrary.
  
  (2) AHTC is not acting on the best interest of the residents of AHTC.

  @Rinpoche
  (1) This means that AHTC has lose the trust of the residents of AHTC ---- who are not serving the best interest of the residents --- but they are serving the self-interest of WP party.

  @Rinpoche -
  (1) I have said my piece - and I don't intend to go further.
  
  (2) Thumbing down has no meaning to me.
  
  (3) Despite the overwhelming oppie posting in yahoo and elsewhere ---- the Government won by a big margin of 69.9% in the last election.
  
  (4) This shows that the overwhelming voters know which Party is good and which parties cannot make it --- but they can't be bother to post their view here.

Please recuse all ministers helming the ministries and agencies flagged by AGO below as well as AMKTC MPs .. in order to prevent a recurrence of corruptions and weak financial controls.

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.

Several government ministries and agencies have been flagged for lapses in contract management and weaknesses in information technology and financial controls by the Auditor-General's Office (AGO) in its annual audit of government finances.. Read mor

Election Coming, every ministers will be expired to nobody. Voters can reset MND ministers if they want to.

And when the ministers are expired to nobody, they will smile all so innocently to beg you to put them back into power. You can then REJECT partisan ministers that failed to perform and balance up the Parliament in the process.
