A resident at the Aljunied GRC has shared a photo with TOC which show a notice posted up on the noticeboard of Blk 460 Hougang Avenue 10.

AHPETC RC BOARD

The notice by Citizens’ Consultative Committees accuses the Aljunied Hougang Punggol East town council (AHPETC) of not taking responsibility and ownership of a faded zebra crossing at the GRC and that the town council had to be reminded by the CCC to repaint the zebra crossing.

The Chairman for the CCC is Victor Lye who was given 1.5 year of leave from his work as Chief Executive Officer of Shenton Insurance to do grassroots activities.

This is not the first time the grassroots have voiced criticism against the AHPETC for their work.

On 13 March 2015, Mr Lye and his grassroots member went around some of the residential blocks at Aljunied GRC to distribute leaflets to urge residents to quiz the member of parliaments of the ward who are from Workers’ Party (WP) over the accounting and corporate governance lapses committed by AHPETC.

Perhaps due to the negative feedback over the leaflets, the distribution of the leaflet was stopped as TOC was unable to get hold of any other blocks which has received such leaflets during its visit to the estate.

AHPETC said in its reply to TOC, “AHPETC is aware of this and has already painted the zebra crossing. Mr Pritam Singh, vice-chairman of AHPETC, sent an email to Mr Victor Lye about three weeks ago to ask for more details on the communication with the TC so we can investigate but we have yet to receive a reply.”

LTA replied TOC, “Thank you for your query. I found that the zebra crossing was already repainted when I passed through the location. I have also updated HDB on the location of the Zebra crossing location and the land status of the said crossing. Which the status shown as HDB. I will confirm again tonight the crossing and closed the case.”

TOC has also sent our enquiries to HDB for clarifications and will publish them when they reply.

去年12月至今 人力部接获近500起盗用私人住址投报

人力部表示,自去年12月开始实施外籍员工租户查询服务(FWTES),至今接获近500起有关外劳盗用私人住址的投报。 外籍员工租户查询服务,提供我国人民查询外籍員工租户名字与人数。 根据各家媒体报道,部分雇主会故意填写假地址,藉此规避外劳超住,或居住在未经批准的工厂的行为。 另一方面,部分外劳想规避超住或非法定居问题,也会故意提供假地址给雇主。 “所有的涉嫌提供假地址的雇主与员工将会接受调查,” 人力部表示。截至4月24日,已有共19名雇主以未能有效监管员工住所,提供假地址为由被起诉,并处以罚款。 人力部也以教唆雇主提供假地址为由,撤回13名员工的工作许可证,另禁止在新加坡工作。 近3年来,逾2000名雇主与1000名外籍员工因提供假地址而被人力部取缔。 人力部强调,雇主有责任监管员工的住所,就算是员工自觅居所,也必须核实员工地址是否符合当局条例。其中也提到,核实员工即指查访员工住所以及检查租屋契约。 人力部希望通过外籍劳工租户查询服务,鼓励屋主举报外劳住宿违例行为。在这之前,屋主必须填写白纸黑字表格,才能举报这些违例行为。 人力部也回应,会增添短信和电邮通知功能,一旦有外劳申请入住,屋主可即时收到通知。若屋主不想继续出租给外劳,也可申请取消。 该项服务预计会在今年底正式推出。…
