WP then formed AHTC, and a managing agent was set up and hired by the town council. But in 2013, MPs from the People's Action Party questioned WP during a parliamentary debate about a possible conflict of interest as the managing agent was owned by WP supporters. Months later, PAP Members of Parliament questioned WP during a parliamentary debate about a possible conflict of interest. This was because AHPETC's managing agent FMSS was owned by WP supporters.
Accounting firm KPMG ran an audit and found what it termed"improper payments" worth over S$33.7 million paid to FMSS and its subsidiary FMSI.On behalf of AHTC, the independent panel filed a civil suit against the three WP MPs – Ms Sylvia Lim, Mr Low Thia Khiang and Mr Pritam Singh – to claim the money back.
Mr Yee also said MND's decision to withhold grants from AHTC, to call in external auditors and to call for an independent panel were"politically motivated and not based on legitimate concerns", the ministry said.
