In response to the statement released by the Prime Minister Office on 12th July 2013, Workers’ Party released a press statement on 13th July.

The press statement states that Workers’ Party has made their position known and the relevant documents are already in the public domain, so the public can make its own judgment on the matter. It further added that the party does not find it productive to continue debating and arguing with the ruling party over this issue of the cleaning of the hawker centres.

It is noted though Secreatary General,  Mr Low Thia Khiang is currently overseas on a private trip, the press statement was released with his concurrence.

WP’s response to PMO 13 July 2013

Soon after the press statement from Workers’ Party was released, Chang Li Lin, the Press Secretary to the Prime Minister has issued the following response to the media after queries in regards to the statement.

“AHPETC’s conduct in this matter has raised very serious questions of integrity and honesty. These arise both from what the Town Council did, and what Ms Sylvia Lim and Mr Pritam Singh said. Minister Vivian Balakrishnan in Parliament, and the Prime Minister in his statement yesterday, pointed out that Ms Lim and Mr Singh had made false and untruthful statements, and tried to cover up the Town Council’s wrongdoing. Mr Low’s latest non-statement addresses none of these serious charges, which therefore stand unrebutted.”

林厝港码头与克兰芝出现大量死鱼

今天在林厝港码头至克兰芝的西北部海域出现了大量死去的野生鱼。 拍摄以上的照片的公众人士,说当时她在现场看到三个人忙于清理海岸上的垃圾和死鱼。 他们说他们是清理垃圾而已,必须要等到高潮带来所有的死鱼后才清除高潮线。因为没有收集的死鱼将由潮集聚起来。 据说,有一些渔农也损失了渔场的鱼只。 上个周末,东部海域多家养鱼场出现大量鱼只死亡事件。有渔农估计,今年的死鱼量高达400公吨,是历年来损失最严重的一次。据了解,柔佛海峡东部共有64家岸外渔场。 政府部门解释鱼的死亡解释是因为是海里的浮游生物大量繁殖,与海洋生物争氧气,最终导致鱼群缺氧死去。 但有的渔农说浮游生物产生毒素,导致鱼只死去。英文报,TODAY委托试验室对的海水的化验,证实了渔农说提出的推断是有所根据。但试验室说虽然浮游生物产生毒素能导致鱼只死亡,但对人是非致命。 去年2月,东部和西部海域的渔场也发生相似状况,东部的34家渔场和柔佛海峡西部另5家渔场都遭殃,死鱼约160公吨。 照片来源 http://wildshores.blogspot.sg/
