Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean on Monday (Jul 3) responded in parliament to NCMP Leong Mun Wai's comments suggesting Ridout Road properties are "relatively cheaper public bungalows” rented by Ministers K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan.
Said Mr Leong: “Don't you think the two ministers should have considered the possibility of negative public perception? Because Singaporeans are already saying the ministers are paid million dollars of salaries. The ministers have private bungalows of their own and they still go and rent a relatively cheaper public bungalow, which however are the three most prestigious bungalows in Singapore and having the government to fork out over a million dollars to reinstate the bungalows before they move in? Don’t you think that scenario conjures up a very bad picture?”
Mr Teo responded: “It's not true and you can see the facts for yourself that it is not true … The bungalows are rented out at market rates.”

It was reported in the ST News that In response to media queries on the issue, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), which manages state properties, said on May 12 that both ministers had rented the properties through a bidding process, with Mr Shanmugam the sole bidder for 26 Ridout Road and Dr Balakrishnan the highest bidder for 31 Ridout Road. So now we know that both the ministers rented the properties under direct leasing. If this is not a Conflicting Information, What is? The question is; What drove the SLA to make the conflicting and misleading information in the first place? Are there any accountability?

"The lease for 26 Ridout Road was signed by Mr Shanmugam's WIFE in June 2018. At that time, the house had been vacant for more than four years, having attracted no bids since its last occupants moved out in December 2013." "The lease for 31 Ridout Road was signed by Dr Balakrishnan's wife in October 2019." What's with these ministers' wives signing the lease agreements and not them ? Coincidence ?

As a comparison , It is so much Cheaper than Office Space Rental Rate at the Prime Landed Area. The Question is How did he managed to Extend the lease without a Re-Tender? Many Singaporeans could have rented the space as Office space since it is so much cheaper at $26,500 per month for 249,335 sqft with swimming pool and "Class". According to a recent listing on PropertyGuru, one estate at Ridout Road with a land size of 8,758 sqft was advertised at S$65,000 a month. How would common Singaporeans ascribe such "treatment" if it is not "preferential treatment"? Or how would you? Do you know why I said Mandate is Unwise?

@sleepy_dobe Год назад

Well, let me illustrate to you another perspective on this. So these individuals are the people governing our nation and making the big decisions for our country's future and what-not. If they were somewhat ill and if that might impair their abilities to work in their hired capacities, would you not want them treated ASAP? Or would you rather they quit and a new hire be found? If they were only a rank and file employee in roles that readily have many capable candidates, sure. But do you think it would be easy to find a replacement of a similar qualification, capability and experience in a short period of time? I would put it to you that in the amount of time needed to find such a replacement, the incumbent would have already seen the medical specialist, started on their treatment, and back in their jobs, versus the new hire who would still be finding his feet in his new job, provided you can actually find someone in that short span of time. So priority for members of the govt, sure I can accept that. But where I would draw the line is excessive "discounts" for products and services etc. Like some minister's rumoured $8 heart surgery.

The ministerial statements did not conclusively determine KS and VB innocence. Instead, it had brought up more questions in the minds of the public and even surfaced incriminating evidence to their crimes. In KS's speech, he affirmed that CPIB only " look through" his phone and did not find any relevant information because he had his phone set to "delete messages". This might have shown KS's intent to obstruct justice by destroying key evidence to all his alleged crimes. I am urging PM Lee to reopen the criminal investigation into KS and VB citing the new revelation. CPIB must raid KS and VB to detain and use digital forensic technologies to retrieve all deleted files as soon as possible before all data are lost permanently. If the two ministers are found to have committed crimes, they must be trialed and punished with the full force of the law. If PM Lee refuses to reopen the criminal investigation, then the public must conclude that the PAP in no longer incorruptible. This will mean devastating consequences for the PAP in the upcoming general election.

Vivian Case Mr Singh considered Mr Balakrishnan’s lease less contentious. As the SLA doesn’t fall under his ministerial portfolio, Mr Singh suggested it was highly unlikely for his duties to overlap with the SLA’s functions and responsibilities. Mr Singh went on to assert that there was no evidence that could “arouse suspicion” under clause 3.1(b) of the Code that the minister used special knowledge acquired in his role to benefit himself. “There is no evidence presently available of this, and it would be impermissible to come to this conclusion,” he declared, concluding that the lease at 31 Ridout Road didn’t appear to violate the Code. However, Mr Singh urged the government to clarify whether it intends to maintain the Code’s strict prohibitions. He stated, “If the current strictures in the Code are being loosened, the government should explain why strict standards which have been in place for decades are being adjusted.”

Basically why can’t you put in place a law that all ministers are not allowed to rent out any properties. I mean eventually you can’t blame Singaporeans to think negatively. Look at what is happening now. Is it worth the effort and time? When I am sure there is much more important thing to attend to.

Chee Hean didn't hit the integrity issue. Well, if so... ... same for the reserves, just take out lah... ... Oh, bitcoin seeming making HUGE returns, best take out with someone in position thinking like that and just get BIG returns... ... General rule... ... Ministers vs SLA handling state assets... ... if Ministers can do that to that assets, such an example is from top to bottom to other state assets... ... This is not right. And very bad example. As if I am the CEO, I go to accounts department let them value a golden tap at $1 or something else, and shareholders found out, I say, why not... ... why let the golden tap rust or decay and left there since no one bought it... ... why not I use it, better for the company, at least you got $1 or $1000 and the tap can be utilized... ... Chee Hean... ... in my view, Chee Hean should be way smarter. It is not about cheap or not. Come on... ...

Perhaps the ministerial pay are too high that they are willing to pay that kind of rental.

@lindc1070 Год назад

It is actually not high at all for that size. Even my 2 bedroom condo in Katong can get 6K rent

@garrytan9521 Год назад

This proves that the monthly salary of each senior minister and minister of state, is so affordable to pay for such hefty and high rent extravagantly for a house he or she desires to reside in it….renting for S$26,000 or S$20,000 per month is actually a normal junior worker’s annual salary package !😮

@lindc1070 Год назад

@@garrytan9521 even hdb these days are 5 to 6K in prime areas. The rent is pretty low for the size and location because conservation houses come with limitations. A 2 bedroom condo in Orchard is over 7K now. Not high at all.

This is not a chalet booking from public, spent 500K to reinstate as per SM Teo mentioned, if my HDB could rent for 3K, will I spent 60K to renovate it? Think about it, no one is stupid, if there’s any potential conflict of interest, i rather don’t touch it!

@DanC-vv7cl Год назад

What leong mun wai says is that ministers should not end up transacting with government to avoid conflict of interest. Totally impossible. Must as well outsource our politicians to another country, and these politicians barred from buying anything in singapore. Zero conflict of interest then.

Mr Leong Mun Wai. Don't waste your time in parliment. We want an oppositon to do somethings better for Singaporean life. Why waste time debating just because the Ministers wanted to rent a house. This is the Minister's private affairs. Leong Mun Wau must tell the PAP govt and show them how you can do better to improve the life for Singaporean. This is more important...

Why would a minister rent another bungalow when they already owns one ? Tax n expense write off? In Canada, elected officials came from all over the Provinces n rent a house or condo in Ottawa n they claim allowable rental expenses

I believe in the integrity of our government, in both cases there was NOT conflict of interest, I don’t understand what Mr Leong MW is asking, his lack of information in display is just mind blowing. If you are going to the Parliament not doing your job and not getting fact … you are just warming up a seat.
