Reporters quiz Dr Chee Soon Juan on the issue of not wanting to bring up former Bukit Batok MP David Ong who vacated his seat in parliament and resigned from the PAP due to an alleged extramarital affair.
One reported asked if he had read the statement by PM Lee Hsien Loong and proceeded to give Dr Chee a rundown of that statement, referring to how PM Lee said Dr Chee was hypocritical to claim that he would not kick a man when he is down but allow for other party members to talk about David Ong. Dr Chee replied that he did not want to comment until he has read the statement himself and understood the context of what was said.

Another reporter posed the question of whether Dr Chee found it hypocritical to have other speakers at the SDP rally mention David Ong even though Dr Chee had said previously that he did not wish to bring up the issue of why David Ong had to vacate his seat in parliament. Dr Chee replied that he had no intention of bringing up the matter and that he will speak to his party members to put a stop to it if necessary. Dr Chee replied that he wants to move away from that issue and contest on issues that matter to the well-being of the residents.
The reporter followed up to clarify whether the speakers at the rally were acting under his instructions or not. Dr Chee replied that he has yet to see the reports on what was said by others during the rally and thus could not comment directly. He pointed out that the team had immediately started with their rounds in Bukit Batok early in the morning and thus he had not been able to look through these reports. He assured that he will look into it.
Another reporter then asked whether he was aware of what other speakers at the rally were going to talk about. However, he replied again that he wanted to keep the issue off the table and specifically pointed out that as the candidate, this was his position on that matter. When asked again if he was normally aware of what speakers at his rallies are going to say, he replied that he did not know what was said and that he will have to look at the reports first before commenting.

我国第三季经济萎缩七巴仙

据贸工部今日(14日)公布第三季初步经济预估数据,我国三季经济萎缩七巴仙。 不过这比起第二季度的13.3巴仙萎缩有所改善,相信与阻断措施后重启,经济情况逐渐恢复有关。 经季节性调整第三经济环比扩张7.9巴仙,而上一季萎缩达13.2巴仙,环比表现反弹。 因疫情导致全球经济情况恶化,加上我国上半年经济表现疲弱,贸工部在8月份向下收窄全年经济预测,从原本预测萎缩4巴仙至7巴仙,下修至5巴仙至7巴仙。 制造业第三季同比增长两巴仙(第二季萎缩0.8巴仙)。经季节性调整后,制造业第三季环比增长3.9巴仙。 建筑业同比萎缩44.7巴仙;经季节性调整后,建筑业环比增长38.7巴仙。 服务业萎缩巴仙巴仙。不过,经季节性调整后,增长6.8巴仙。

疑涉嫌企业管理违法 凯发及其董事被调查

包括商业事务局(CAD)、金融管理局(MAS)和会计与企业管制局(ACRA)等机构,将联合调查凯发集团(Hyflux)及该集团董事及前董事。 调查机构怀疑该集团董事及前董事,涉嫌虚假与误导陈述、违反信息披露规定,以及没遵循会计标准等。 金管局、新加坡交易所(SGX)以及ACRA是在2019年4月16日,宣布将检视凯发集团,与会计相关的披露和遵循标准。经检讨,当局有理由怀疑当中涉及违法行为。 当局将联手调查凯发在大泉水电厂项目的信息披露方面是否有疏失;同时,2011年至2018年间,是否遵循会计标准。不过,当局表示刑侦与凯发当前的企业拯救程序无关,并非干扰该集团当前的重组计划。 2011年至2018年期间,在凯发董事会的董事都将接受调查,相信这也包括凯发集团创办人林爱莲。
