Tan Boon Khai

The names of the five-men Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) were finally revealed on Friday, after the committee submitted its report to Parliament.

While little was known prior to the revelation, we can now take a look at who each of the members are.

The committee is chaired by the Secretary to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, Tan Kee Yong. The Online Citizen (TOC) featured him here: “Secretary to PM chairs Electoral Boundaries Review Committee“.

The other members are:

– Dr Cheong Koon Hean – Chief Executive Officer, Housing Development Board (HDB)

– Mr Tan Boon Khai, – Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Land Authority (SLA)

– Ms Wong Wee Kim – Chief Statistician at Singapore Statistics

– Secretary, Mr Lee Seng Lup – Head of Election Department

In this report, we take a look at Mr Tan Boon Khai, the CEO of SLA.

Mr Tan took over at the helm in SLA only on 1 May this year. This is an interesting point to note as it would be in May that the Prime Minister appointed the EBRC as well.

According to the Business Times:

Mr Tan, 41, joins SLA from CapitaLand, where he has been head of group procurement since the beginning of the year. Before that, he was regional general manager (Singapore and Malaysia) for The Ascott, a CapitaLand subsidiary.

Before joining the private sector, Mr Tan served as a Justice’s law clerk and assistant registrar of the Supreme Court, as well as District Judge in the then Subordinate Courts of Singapore.

In 2006, he was seconded to the Ministry of Health as general counsel and company secretary of Ministry of Health Holdings. His last appointment in the public service was as deputy senior state counsel/deputy public prosecutor in the Attorney-General’s Chambers of Singapore.

【选举】指武吉巴督工地缺乏防范措施 徐顺全:穆仁理在哪里?

新加坡民主党秘书长徐顺全博士日前指出,武吉巴督湿巴刹附近的建筑工地,未做任何防范措施,今天他重游旧地时,发现当地已设置路障和围栏,防止民众接近。 徐顺全今天(6月27日)在脸书发帖,分享有关事件,并对当局所采取的行动感到满意。 帖文中,他指出四天前发现该区154栋的建筑工地,并没有设置防止人们进入的路障,而该处又处于武吉巴督最拥挤地区内,附近还有湿巴刹和小贩中心,因此感到担忧。 据帖文中附上的照片中,可见该建筑工地周围有防水布料遮盖,但是布料已经破破烂烂,且无法阻止民众踏入工地,地上也铺满了石头。另一张图片中,只见有关的工地已经被红白网围起来,并设置了黄色路障,破烂的蓝色布料也已经被堆放在一旁,显得非常干净整齐。 “我四天前在武吉巴督拍下这张照片,可见现场一片凌乱;所幸今早回到现场,至少设置了安全警戒线。” 强调国会议员是全职工作 他指出,该工地并非一个隐蔽角落,是当地人潮最拥挤的地点之一,而出现有关情况,也不见武吉巴督议员穆仁理(Murali Pillai)出现或提及。因此,他认为单选区需要拥有自己的全职议员,否则的话,拥有其他工作在身的议员,无法全心全意为支持他的选民服务。 “这就是我说的,议员是全职工作。若你是兼职议员,你将所有时间花在个人日常工作上,无法做到100巴仙付出。” “人们透过选举让你来经营这个地区,你每月收到1万6000元薪金,工作却外包给代管人,然后由人民付费。请问这是什么逻辑。” 他补充道,身为国会议员,为选民服务是他的职责,是全职。 “随着赋予你的责任,你需要运营市议会、照顾选区,尤其关注居民的福祉和安全,在国会中代表他们发言,建立强大的社区并保护弱势群体,这是一份全职。这也是若成为武吉巴督国会议员后,需要执行的工作。”…
