据各大媒体报导,副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰,将在下周二(11月5日),在国会提动议,要求刘程强和林瑞莲回避一切和阿裕尼-后港市镇会相关财政事务。 在上月11日,高庭法官加南拉美斯(Kannan Ramesh)宣读判词,指工人党主席林瑞莲、秘书长毕丹星和前秘书长刘程强,须为阿裕尼-后港市镇会蒙受损失,承担法律责任。 判决指出刘程强和林瑞莲违反受托责任;毕丹星雇用市镇会前管理代理公司FM Solutions and Services(FMSS),涉违反技术与审慎义务(duty of skill and care)。 据了解,王瑞杰的动议提及议员应保持高标准诚信和责任感,强调刘、林二人,应清楚“自身行为在法律上是有问题的”,并呼吁他们回避与市镇会相关财务事务。 国会将在下周一召开。据了解毕丹星届时将在国会亲自回应该动议。 不过,必须注意的是,针对法院对市镇会诉讼的判决,林瑞莲等人曾表示将检视该判决,并寻求律师的建议,在适当时候披露下一步行动。 有关市镇会从2011年7月至2015年7月间,支付了FMSS公司多达3370万元。这段期间,林瑞莲为市镇会主席,而刘程强当时为工人党秘书长。至于毕丹星当时担任市镇会招标与合约委员会成员。 去年10月初,高庭展开对工人党市镇会诉讼审讯,阿裕尼—后港市镇会(AHTC)和白沙—榜鹅市镇会(PRPTC)指责刘程强、林瑞莲、毕丹星等八造,必须对2011年5月至2015年11月期间,对第三方承包商的不当付款行为负起责任以及索偿。
