Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has ordered a probe into the sale of
People's Action Party (PAP) Town Council management software to
Action Information Management (AIM) Pte Ltd.
The controversial deal has been the source of much debate and
tension over the past fortnight ever since it was raised by
Workers' Party chief Sylvia Lim and the WP-run Aljunied-Hougang
Town Council (AHTC).
In a statement
on Tuesday afternoon,
PM Lee said he's asked the Ministry of National Development to
review the transaction in "the interest of transparency and
maintaining trust in the system" and that "public funds were
safeguarded and resident's interest were not
compromised".
He also added that MND would at the same time take a broad-based
review of the "fundamental nature" and purpose of TCs in order to
ensure "high overall standards of corporate
governance".
The review is expected to take a month or
two.
In a
statement published
on the AHTC's website last month, Lim had challenged the PAP and
its subsidiary company, AIM, to come clean on why the PAP town
councils sold and leased their computer systems back from
them.
Town Council coordinating chairman Teo Ho Pin defended the sale,
however, saying that the transaction followed
regulations.
