Worker's Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang has hit back at People's Action Party (PAP) candidate Lim Hwee Hua for accusing Hougang Town Council of keeping messy financial accounts.
Lim, who is part of the PAP team contesting in Aljunied GRC, had earlier questioned Low over the transparency and accountability of Hougang Town Council's accounts.
However, speaking to an estimated crowd of 15,000 at the WP rally at Sengkang on Tuesday evening, Low hit back at Lim's comments and said it was a 'personal attack to discredit his character and capabilities'.
Said the WP chief: "Do you believe if Hougang's accounts are messy, I can win Hougang for 20 years?"
"If the account is messy, as what she claimed, then why would Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and the Auditor-General approve it? Are they sleeping?" questioned Low, with his comments drawing a loud cheer from the crowd. Full story
