Yahoo! News Singapore, 8 Jan 2013
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has ordered a probe into the sale of People's Action Party (PAP) Town Council management software to Action Information Management (AIM) Pte Ltd.
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, PM Lee said he's asked the Ministry of National Development to review the transaction in "the interest of transparency and maintaining trust in the system" and that "public funds were safeguarded and resident's interest were not compromised".
He also added that MND would at the same time take a broad-based review of the "fundamental nature" and purpose of TCs in order to ensure "high overall standards of corporate governance".
The review is expected to take a month or two.   Full story
