The Reform Party has announced that it is the party’s decision that all members, including office holders of the Central Executive Committee, to be free in volunteering to help the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) during the Bukit Batok SMC by-election campaign.
In its press statement penned by Andy Zhu, RP’s chairman, the party states that its leadership actively encourages its membership to volunteer on the SDP campaign during this period should Dr Chee’s team see fit to use them.
This decision is said to have been imparted to the membership yesterday (28 April) and the party hopes that as many members as possible will lend their support.
“The Reform Party was created and set up by J B Jeyaretnam who brought an historic win for the Opposition in the Anson by-election in 1981. That win was brought about in part by an unusual degree of cooperation from the other Opposition parties. Barisan Socialis and the Singapore United Front even sent in their workers to help Mr Jeyaretnam in the battle for Anson.” wrote RP in their press statement.
RP states that it has made this decision in the Anson spirit and hopes that other parties will follow suit.

疑涉抵触洗黑钱条例 美司法部调查滨海湾金沙赌场

疑处理高级赌户的方式涉嫌抵触洗黑钱条例,美国司法部正调查美国赌王、亿万富豪谢尔登·阿德尔森(Sheldon Adelson)旗下的新加坡滨海湾金沙赌场。 据彭博社报导,当局正寻求质询和索取有关“洗钱设施”的文件,以及调查内部财务监管的疏失。 检察官要求一位合规负责人,提交与任何此类违法行为有关的记录,包括通过赌博中介人和使用赌场信贷的第三方贷款。 除了索取与新加坡赌场内,可能的财务滥用或失误相关的记录外,司法部还寻求调查“吹哨人”是否曾遭到胁迫。当局也将调查另一名前赌场员工信息,据称该员工进行了“高额注资”。 此外,新加坡赌场监管局 (CRA)也在调查滨海湾金沙赌场。尽管当局不愿就此案置评,惟当局暂未接到美国司法部,要求对上述案件提供协助。 2018年4月至2019年3月财年期间,当局对滨海湾金沙赌场共开出1万5000元的罚单,理由是未能实施当局拟定的管制措施,以及缺乏社会保障等。 该赌场分别涉及触犯条例:允许未成年人进入赌场被罚款1万新元,以及允许未经证实已缴付150元的入门税的永久居民,进入赌场。 去年,政府与圣淘沙名胜世界和滨海湾金沙达成协议,允许两者投入约90亿元,发展赌场以外的设施,包括打造世界级的娱乐景点和会展设施,预计每年能吸引多50万名访客前来,并创造多达5000份新工作。
