一名白沙-榜鹅区居民,致函询问白沙-榜鹅市镇会(PRPTC),在使用市镇会款项用于与居民利益无关的诉讼、聘请律师时,是否已咨询居民的同意? 曾代表人民力量党于2011年参选蔡厝港议席的李子旭,揭露一名住在白沙-榜鹅区的友人,致函其市镇会提问四个问题: 市镇会是否能未咨询居民同意,擅用大笔款项,用在非市镇用途? 市镇会可否对居民隐瞒有关大笔款项的资讯? 市镇会在聘请律师时,是否货比三家律师报价? 市镇会是否违反了自身条规? 李子旭说,其友人表示,致函提问白沙-榜鹅市镇会,主要是要问责,既然该市镇会聘请了新加坡最贵的律师达文星,是否有动用市镇会的款项? 诉讼案的中心人物—诉方律师达文星,乃是行动党籍大巴窑集选区前议员,也是已故李光耀和总理李显龙的王牌律师,为他们在诉讼案中打败过多名对手,包括邓亮洪、徐顺全、博客鄞义林,以及多家外国媒体如《经济学人》、彭博社和《纽约时报》。 市镇会:诉讼仍进行不回应 但是,两周前电邮给市镇会的询问仿如石沉大海,即是这名居民反复拨电给市镇会,得到的答复也只是“不会针对审讯中的诉讼作回应。” 李子旭把该居民的经历分享在脸书,让更多人知道此事,一同问责该市镇会是否有合理使用公款。 居民质问聘请达文星律师费…
