Excerpt from Dr Teo’s letter to the ST, 5 December, 2008:
As our investments and circumstances differ, the town councils will reach out to their residents directly to address their queries and receive feedback through various channels such as newsletters, websites and dialogues. We will continue to explore ways to keep residents informed of our finances.
Looking ahead, we would like to assure residents that we will continue to be prudent, and will keep reviewing our investment approach so as to grow our sinking fund in a sustainable manner to meet the long-term needs of our estates.
