As a registered charity with an Institution of Public Character (IPC), the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) should be displaying their annual financial returns and statements on their website for public scrutiny.

However, a check on their website has shown that the last statement which was uploaded was put up for the financial year ending 2016.

The annual statement of accounts for 2017 has not been posted on their website, even though it is already the end of 2018.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors is Isabella Loh Wai Kiew while the other people on the Board include senior civil servants and also two People’s Action Party Members of Parliament in Dr Teo Ho Pin and Rahayu Mahzam.

The senior public officers on the Board of the SEC include Dr Leong Chee Chiew (Dy CEO, NParks) and Tan Nguan Sen (Chief Sustainability Officer, PUB) among others.

See full list of Board members here.

On its website, the SEC states that it is an independently managed, non-profit and non-government organisation and that it is an approved charity and offer tax exemption to donors.

It appears that it has been more than a year since the SEC posted its annual returns online.

Coincidentally, the Singapore Life Saving Society has put up a Facebook post seeking governance help.

The Advisor of the Singapore Life Saving Society is Teo Ho Pin, who is the MP for Bukit Panjang SMC.

The TOC has reached out to the Charities Unit for a response.

34年前报导对现任总检察长含严重指控 李显扬:令人不安

前日,一则1986年的《海峡时报》的剪报在坊间流传:报导中提及,一名女律师,涉嫌非法搬走所属律师馆的一些法律文件,并在附近停车场被截获。而和他在一起的,是一名男律师。 这名男律师和上述女性律师,原本是同事。他在事发一两周前离开该律师馆。他们俩有意于明年初加入另一所具知名度的律师馆。而被搬走的法律文件包括一些案件前例,对于律师是很宝贵的资料,可用在法庭的论辩。 报导内容也形容,男律师在新加坡大学法学院念法律时,曾考获第一名,而律师也被认为很有才干。 何以这则剪报一时间引起注目?据本社向一些资深律师了解,原来报导中提及的女律师,是Christina Ong,至于文中提及的男律师则正是现任总检察长黄鲁胜,也曾是总理李显龙的私人律师。 尽管报导提及警方调查此案,惟较后总检察署决定不追究此事。事件也申诉到律师公会,惟后事如何惟公开。 至于律师公会在前日(9日)针对上述报导,则表示“有关报导提及的申诉,是没有根据的而被驳回。” 总理弟弟李显扬在读到这则34年前的报导,认为有关报导对现任总检察长有严重的指控。 “报导也提及时任总理李光耀,批评当时律师公会未严格管束会员纪律,并警惕有必要维护法律专业的清誉。” 然而,尽管律师公会昨日已表示有关投诉因为毫无根据,为此被撤销。但李显扬也指出,考量到现有的情况,仍令人感到不安。 The front…
