Wheelchair bound woman creating havoc at AMK Ave 10 by digging up trash from the bins at block 556. This problem has persisted for a period of time, despite numerous complaints made by residents to the town council and multiple police reports had been made, situation has not changed.

PUB said town councils are responsible for maintaining and cleaning water tanks at Housing Board blocks. Obviously then, the AMKTC are responsible. And by extension, the MPs that serve the AMKTC should also hold themselves accountable.

The question was, how did Wong get away with four full years of accepting bribes and awarding contracts to his 'friends'? Did the AMKTC MPs, all of whom should have been privy to his financial dealings, not noticed something was amiss? After all, Wong is just the GM. Surely, the award of contracts should be under the purview of the TC's top echelons, in this case the AMK GRC MPs themselves. Were the leaders of this TC not discharging their fiduciary duties to the best of their abilities?

Gilbert Goh thinks the legal action against Workers' Party is just a distraction from the problems plaguing Oxley saga and the upcoming Presidential election. He compared this to Ang Mo Kio Town Council's alleged corruption which was mysteriously solved by dismissing a general manager and settled out of public scrutiny.

BCA has responded in the wake of the lift ceiling falling on a 10 year old girl in Sengkang, injuring her in the process. Investigations done has shown that the plastic board might not have been secured properly. BCA has also issued a notice to suspend the operation of the lift. The Ang Mo Kio Town Council has also indicated that they will reimburse all the medical fees of the 10 year old girl, which came to about $200. The lift contractor maintaining the LG elevators for the block where the incident took place is Sigma Elevator. Sigma Elevator has been in the news lately for being the company that has been banned from taking part in tenders for lift maintenance works since October 2015, because its newer lifts broke down more often than usual.

Your Ang Mo Kio signpost at many places desperately need a fresh coat of paint. Yes this is a mature estate, but the signpost need not be gray and aged. We are not asking for anything fancy & lavish in these hard times, just some sprucing up will do the trick.

Due to huge crowd requiring to get onto this bus service—the few buses in my area: Buangkok Crescent, Buangkok Green and Hougang St 91, that can get to AMK MRT, there are many instances where the residents around my area cannot get onto the buses. Sometimes, we cannot alight onto four buses consecutively!

Damn. Still no 24-page spread in the Straits Times about the Ang Mo Kio Town Council corruption case. Was hoping to see colour graphs and details about the money, people and contracts involved. Corruption involving the PM's town council is apparently trivial news, as far as our mainstream media is concerned.

The press has asked The Workers’ Party to comment on what Minister Shanmugam has said with regards to the AMKTC corruption case and the AHTC governance issue.

Minister says "nothing will be swept under the carpet" - and then mainstream media do precisely that and sweep his "You are not going to get angels in power all the time" remarks under the carpet.
