Pritam Singh asks PM why no press conference has been held on the issue
SINGAPORE: The Workers’ Party has urged the Government to be more transparent about how two Cabinet ministers were able to rent two colonial bungalows along Ridout Road. The authorities said last week that the properties were rented in full compliance with regulations.
In response to questions as to how the politicians were able to bid for and rent the pricey bungalows, the Singapore Land Authority said last Friday that the properties were vacant for years and that both ministers bid higher than the guide price for the properties. One of the questions posed by Mr Singh is directed at the Prime Minister, inquiring about the Government’s reasons for not holding a press conference in May 2023 to address the public allegations regarding the lease of 26 and 31 Ridout Road.
