The AHTC saga concluded in July when AHTC and Sengkang Town Council dropped their claims for damages and costs in civil suits against WP leaders.Former Non-Constituency MP Yee Jenn Jong has been issued a correction direction under Singapore’s fake news law for statements on the long-running Aljunied-Hougang Town Council saga.
Mr Yee on July 25 and 27 published posts on his Facebook page about the Ministry of National Development’s basis and motivation for actions taken against AHTC. On the first statement, MND said Mr Yee’s claim that the ministry was wrong to call in external auditors was false. AHTC then appointed KPMG as its independent accountant to identify its non-compliances with the TCA, MND said.
In response, MND said several of AHTC’s lapses were inherent to AHTC rather than due to AIM’s termination of the TCMS or handover issues in 2011. MND also noted that AHTC asked for extensions to use AIM’s TCMS on two occasions, which AIM agreed to.
