National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan’s ministerial statement in Parliament on Monday, which touched on town councils and the PAP-owned Action Information Management (AIM), sparked off a charged debate with some of the fiercest arguments coming from Worker’s Party (WP) chairman Sylvia Lim.
In rejecting the Ministry of National Development's (MND) finding that residents’ interests had not been compromised in a deal between PAP town councils and AIM, she questioned aspects of the AIM deal, like the nature of AIM and the one-month termination clause in the event the town council changed hands.
In response, Khaw replied sternly, “Ms Sylvia Lim said that the PAP is not concerned about the passengers sitting in the Cessna getting hurt should it crash land. This is self-righteous, and – pardon me for saying so – arrogant. Many of us in this House have been serving Singaporeans for decades, long before she entered this House. Please, don’t behave as if you are the only patriot in this House.” Full story
