- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Singapore Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam on Monday (Jul 3) told parliament that he rented the state property at 26 Ridout Road after deciding to put his family home up for sale.
Mr Shanmugam stressed that he was “not making any money from the difference” in rent by living at 26 Ridout Road while his family home is being rented out in the meantime.
This is Mr Shanmugam's full speech, in which he explained why he was renting a property instead of living in his family home, what the Ridout house is like, and whether there was potential conflict of interest. Read more: cna.asia/3pFmvjz
This only proves ONE thing. We need oppositions in Parliament. Without opposition this case would not even see daylight and swept under the carpet.
Yes lucky Singh around
Sadly most PAP Supporters would argue otherwise. They strongly believe that the opposition are incompetent and will only bring doom and ruin to Singapore, bringing us back to the stone ages.
PAP will continue to RULE for the next 100 years. and GST will continue to rise higher and higher.
Exactly
it's such a waste of resources
He is nervous! Not his usual self
Ya, not as cocky
When your skeletons are way too overloaded in the closet
Nah ...very nervous indeed ..😂
He does appear nervous and nit his usual self
Shan looks guilty as f
Just vote them out Singapore!!!
He appears to be very nervous
Agreed a sign of guilty every time in Parliment he is very cocky
He is agitated at the same time.
Singaporeans expect the highest standard of conduct for cabinet and senior ministers.
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR MINISTERS
(3) Financial interests
3.1 A Minister must scrupulously avoid any actual or "apparent conflict of interest"
between his office and his private financial interests. Such a conflict, or a perception of
conflict, can arise
(a) from the exercise of powers or influence in a way that benefits or may be seen to
benefit private interests held; or
(b) from using special knowledge acquired in the course of his activities as Minister
to bring benefit or avoid loss (or could arouse reasonable suspicion of this) in
relation to his private financial interests.
3.2 A Minister therefore must never enter into any transactions whereby his private
financial interest might, even conceivably, come into conflict with his public duty.
Waste of parliament time, this is what will deter good people from serving singapore...thanks to idiots like Lee Hsien Yang destroying his father's legacy
What can Singaporeans do when LHL wants to shield him? This is the real danger now. Even Tang Ming Huang was ready to let the Tang empire collapse just to protect his mistress's life.
so by the same warped logic of most (PAP haters) comments, all members of the Singapore Government:
1) cannot own or rent any properties, because all properties in Singapore, be it SLA Black and white houses, HDB or Private Residential Properties (Condo, Landed, GCB), either leasehold or freehold, are all governed by HDB, URA, BCA, SLA, and all buildings and land are subjected to LAND ACQUISITION ACT, which mostly fall under Ministry of National Development and Ministry of Law
2) cannot have access to healthcare, because be it private GPs to Polyclinics to Hospitals both public and private, which are governed by Ministry of Health
3) cannot have access to food, because most food staples in Singapore including rice are imported, which is governed by Singapore Food Agency
4) cannot have access to water, beacause water in Singapore is governed by PUB aka Singapore's National Water Agency
5) cannot have access to banking, because all banks in Singapore are governed by Monetary Authority of Singapore
6) cannot have access to transport, because transport in Singapore is governed by LAND TRANSPORT AUTHORITY (LTA)
I guess only a ghost can fit your expectation of an honest government, since a ghost doesn't require any of the above.

I really miss Lee Kuan Yew, he would think, sleep on how to benefit Singapore and Singaporean welfare. PAP new generation politicians is no match to LKY’s generation. This confirmed my prediction that they think more for themselves. Unlike LKY. They are now called politicians. Only LKY is called political leader.
I also miss LKY.We are real Singaporeans,not from the 2nd/3rd world countries and take advantage of our
Country assets.
Our own motherland has more than enough talented people to rule our country.
Don't agree with you. I don't think PAp new generation think about themselves. Is Singaporean change and become more selfish
@@fookokhoe4814really like who?
And that’s why this country is going down south and the damn stupid 61% continue to screw up this country and their kids future
The man is dead. Why compare. Times are different.
A lack of political wisdom from our elected politicians led to this saga which wasted an unnecessary amount of public resources and time to investigate and rectify. A wise man would have known such rental of high end state properties while being a minister would attract unnecessary public scrutiny and derail national attention from
important state affairs. We have our MPs in Parliament and citizens listen in to the reasons for the ministers' personal housing decision and a chronology of the events instead of partaking in important national matters. The PAP administration could have done much better.
Greed took charge over wisdom

@michaelling6352 that why democratic countries are failing
@@michaelling6352 when you lower your ethical standards of political appointees or holds an non chalent attitude, they will take it for granted and get away with what they can gain from the people, it's only human nature to want more. BTW, it's the PAP that holds themselves out with the highest level of integrity. Keeping them in line with legitimate questions serves Singaporeans in every way the same as sound economic and social policies. They set the yard stick for themselves in exchange for a mandate. Every Singaporean has a duty to hold them accountable; otherwise, don't complain if things don't go the proper way. The late LKY often said, don't take Singapore's prosperity for GRANTED, and that encompasses the integrity of our elected officials. How to have good and sound social and economic policies if the people in charge have a hidden agenda.
If you can get landed Good Class GCB for 11 cents/psf/month then the HDB should be priced at 11 cents/psf/month divided by 100 to take account for multi-floors, multi-units, Non-prime area and lesser privacy Or at 0.11 / 100 * 1000 sqft * 12 mths * 99 years = no more than $1, 306.80 for a 5 rooms HDB lease-hold apartment.
We should make you the next minister of National development. We will all love you🤓

If you as a minister of Singapore, could not afford to maintain your housing financially, how do you think about our local residents who make only a fraction of your salaries afford to pay the heavy housing loan in Singapore ?!!!
Own self check ownself
The question is: How did he manage to extend the lease without going through a re-tender?
the contract is for 3+3+3, ie can be renewed twice at the option of the leasee if he agrees to the price at renewal
@@hatchegg80 Is SLA under the Ministry? or is it a nominal practice enjoyed by All Singaporeans? Who drafted the Contract? When was the Contract drafted.
@@hatchegg80 And that is why We need;
the new President to call for a COI [Commission Not Committee of Inquiry under the INQUIRIES ACT 2007] on the Ridout case.
@@hatchegg80.but what they did not tell the public ppl in the property industry knows, which many agents and property experts know in 2021 nowhere is the lease renewnal going to be raised by $1000.
Total bull and crap. At the end of 2020, Covid 1st yr rental was up 10 to 15% and by mid 2021 to end 2021 at least 25%. Take a conservative 20% thru 2020 and 2021 for a GCBs of over $25k , the min is at least $5k increase. By 2022 the rental increase was way over 30 to 50%! Some even 70%!
You don't call this preferential treatment then what?
Even the guide price from SLA was low balled for these two.
@@ttkoh123 Yes, if you go rent a SLA property even a flat, there will be renewal clauses. I"m not even pro-pap but at least ask better questions
I don't even care to listen to this. Parliament isn't the right forum to discuss personal matters, whether of probate, family matters or conflict of personal interests against the state, etc. Parliament is the legislative chamber of and for the whole country. What a shameful waste of public resources! How more irrelevant can we get?
You should ask the 39% of people and others who are wasting the time. Singapore future is finished

Ya, and some how PAP ministers often display their laundries in the limelights, which this is just one of them.
Minister, 😂😢😮😅
Dont answer anything in relation to I DON'T KNOW.
You are a minister of law, a trained lawyer with years of experience, YET YOU DONT KNOW THE RENTAL OF RIDOUT ROAD?
AM I STUPID TO BELIEVE THAT YOU LEFT EVERYTHING TO YOUR AGENT WITHOUT DOING YOUR CALCULATION & HOMEWORK?
You are a lawyer. Do you go to court without knowing everything about your client's case?
Come on, after selling your own GCB, all the proceeds earn hefty interests in your bank account, too. We are not talking about $1M or $2M, at least $30M to $40M proceeds, right?
Wait...finance thing does not make sense. He said he wanted to lower his cost burden so he put up his GCB for sale/lease. That makes sense. After that he said he is in deficit after renting BW from SLA while leasing his GCB. So....he is spending more now than he did before. That is the opposite of what he intended to do and not the right decision financially.
Step down and resigned
A, I don’t think they will, kick them out in the next Generation Election, is coming soon.
All of us must remember this incident and not be fooled by them anymore.

While Singaporeans are living in tiny apartments, MPs are living lavishly in houses sized of shopping malls...
Trust once broken is gone !!
As a comparison , It is so much Cheaper than Office Space Rental Rate at the Prime Landed Area. The Question is How did he managed to Extend the lease without a Re-Tender? Many Singaporeans could have rented the space as Office space since it is so much cheaper at $26,500 per month for 249,335 sqft with swimming pool and "Class". According to a recent listing on PropertyGuru, one estate at Ridout Road with a land size of 8,758 sqft was advertised at S$65,000 a month.
How would common Singaporeans ascribe such "treatment" if it is not "preferential treatment"? Or how would you?
Do you know why I said Mandate is Unwise?
You cannot compare like this.
Haha..many singsporean could have rented it so cheap at $26k..? haha that is why it was vacant for 4 years..hehe. Can’t stop laughing. 90% of locals earn peanuts to be able to rent such big bungalows. And those who could afford it are the top tier 3% earner lah. Not some dick heads or some cheapskate Ah Bengs...!
Talking about office space, has anyone noticed a particular Law firm has made very big shouting signboards of its name splashed on both sides of a corner building just directly across Parliament Building along North Bridge Road? It is is called Lee and Lee.
comparing private property rental rate against SLA rental rate, akin to comparing orange and apple. Go educate yourself first before making a buffoon of yourself. Empty vessel makes the most noise. As a PAP hater, our government can do nothing right in your tinted eyes and darken soul.
1. 26 Ridout, land size was increased from 9,350sqm to 23,164 sqm, a 147% increase.
2. Where in SG is it possible to get an additional 13814sqm of land from a landlord by offering to maintain it at your own cost(of a mere $2083 per month)?
3. Can a HDB dweller offer to maintain the corridor & common area outside his unit at his own cost, and by doing so gain the inclusion of these areas into his HDB unit’s lease?
Doesn't matter if it is ethical, justified or legal when these public servants seem to be serving themselves instead of the public.
Well said.
Don't think so
so its doesnt matter if you have done and continuing doing right by others. if you live your live you are wrong? hemhhh
@@paullnando If "you" in your statement refers to a citizen or someone working in the private sector, then you are right.
But if "you" refers to public servant, as it should be, you are suggesting that they can live their life as they please without any consequence or consideration? hemhhh
@@stickymoney Thats just me. but yeah. anyway i got your point that they have to be hold to a higher standard. I only hope that higher standard is not some ridiculous line. eitherway I wish the best to both the public servant and pivate citizens. lets live peacefully in yhis beautiful country.

why talk about an email that was never sent?? who can swore that the meeting was per say as that email? in the end was his GCB sold? else it make no financial sense to continue to rent and suffer a deficit from this .. he look physically wore and stress
In the 1980s pap minister for housing commited suicide due to suspected corruption case nobody is above the law if our late pm Lee is still around such things wouldn't happen like today
Bro, he is the reason why the system is so one-sided. Wth are u on?
I have never seen Sham so humble. Wink wink😂
Singaporeans should ask the Govt for 11 cents/psf/month GCB anymore? Singaporeans family can group-up to rent.
The question is: Does the framework only entitles to grouped few or to everyone?

Why rent so cheap?
Seriously, the rent is very cheap....
It's in dollar not rupiah dum 😂
to avoid such a waste of resource debating on what house a person rents - one in public office should just rent it from the private sector, open market - no need to rent from govt when you are in govt.
If this is a mistake it will not be open for Ministers. Nothing wrong to rent
Like LKY Oxley house is shared amongst SGreans, these Colonial GCB Bungalows are best refurbished & open to SG Public like clubhouses, luxury vintage hotels etc etc etc similar to partial commercialization of UK Crown Estate
Pap is destroying the name of their own party
If a normal citizen ,he/she will be in jail ! Firstly his credibility are in question,so he need to resign ! The minister wage very high so they can buy house n make money ! Is time to cut down minister wage ,minister work for ppl not a burden to citizen !
5:04 Hmm, why would someone put up his/her house for rental if he/she has the idea to sell? The reason given was that since he wasn’t sure whether to sell his house or not, he therefore rented it out while he was still making the decision, but, if he truly has yet to make the decision to sell, then why can’t he just continue to stay in his own house? Why the need to rent the b&w while he was just considering a sale of his own house? Can someone help me logic this out.
For an instance, say if I have the intention to sell my car, but I have yet to come to a decision, why would my actions be to go rent another car and then rent out my own car, while I contemplate on the decision to sell my car?
Moreover, why rent out the house while there’s an intention to sell? Once I rent out my house, I’d lose the flexibility to sell it at my own timeframe, I’d be stuck with the house until the rental lease expires, which seems too counterintuitive for someone who claims to have the intention to sell, isn’t it? Shouldn’t one just leave a house empty if you have the intention to sell, such that one can act upon it immediately as soon as the decision to sell is made?
Most times, when you sell with tenancy, it is easier to sell, and you can command more on the sale price than a vacant unit.
Sometimes, you may take a long while before you find a suitable buyer. So why not earn rent during that time, instead of leaving it empty ?
@@travelocities that’s true to a certain extent, especially for commercial real estate in Singapore, as for residential, it may not be “most times”, sometimes renting it out may work against the seller if the buyer wants it for own stay. However, the point here for the ministers is that now we can’t be for certain their intention to sell or they meant it to be an arbitrage opportunity, taking advantage of privilege information while in position. And we wouldn’t want our country’s decision makers to be involved in unclear businesses, do we?
Absolutely Disgusting !!!!
Don't fool me ha haha

Just be frank! I got money and power. I can get anything I need in Singapore!

Enjoy la ....u know nobody can question you people PAP .
must show a good example if want to be voted in..
Ask them to step down.shame.
New rule: Ministers are NOT allowed to rent state property !
All ministers should pay more attentions n concentrate taking of their own constituents needs, if they think their salary are still not enough then should go join private sector.
I wonder why things goes opp..after LKY demises.... against to be exact... He ought to step down , then the gov needs to move forward ... someone neutral someone fair replaced to incharge of home affair, law.. and president should be non PAP , check and balance so be it.
Shouldn't it be an open bid? What were the other bid amount?
Houses like that are not for civil servant.
There is disquiet among the people.
The ministerial statements did not conclusively determine KS and VB innocence. Instead, it had brought up more questions in the minds of the public and even surfaced incriminating evidence to their crimes. In KS's speech, he affirmed that CPIB only " look through" his phone and did not find any relevant information because he had his phone set to "delete messages". This might have shown KS's intent to obstruct justice by destroying key evidence to all his alleged crimes. I am urging PM Lee to reopen the criminal investigation into KS and VB citing the new revelation. CPIB must raid KS and VB to detain and use digital forensic technologies to retrieve all deleted files as soon as possible before all data are lost permanently. If the two ministers are found to have committed crimes, they must be trialed and punished with the full force of the law. If PM Lee refuses to reopen the criminal investigation, then the public must conclude that the PAP in no longer incorruptible. This will mean devastating consequences for the PAP in the upcoming general election.
Mai KB lah, how much evidence you want you to want to show that there is no conflict in interest, I applaud the opposition being critical and maintain the right to question the ruling party whenever possible and I will continue to ask them to do so, at this point the opposition know that there is no conclusive evidence in proving the minister are having improper misconduct that is why they feel there is no need to oppose for the sake for opposing. People should stop whining and look at where the evidence is at rather than trying to dig something out of nothing even when CPIB has done their investigation. Trying to alleged KS as destroying evidence amounting to obstruction of justice is such stupid allegation the messages were deleted even before investigation start so how the hell is that obstruction of justice? Obstruction of justice is when an investigation has started then the suspect in an effort to obstruct the process by hinder the investigation during which it is still underway not before. You are putting the assumption of corruption already happening before looking for evidence rather than the proper process of getting evidence to prove the existent of corruption which is not how the justice department works.
@@Soshiaircon91 KS(and PAP) got the SPF to do the same thing to many Singaporeans. We're only returning the favor. What goes around comes around. This is how some conduct politic. KS must go to jail for benefiting from inside information and illegally sharing it with VB. They are both guilty.
This is the problem of ownself check ownself. And this is why having everything to 1 ruling party is a big mistake from start. Just look around, only communism or country of dictatorship does that. Democracy needs many different voices and not just 1 say to all things.
They will always win at elections because of naive silly voters....
there is no need a why for us. so long the money is clean
move from one GCB to another GCB and lose money on rent and still have not sell away the family GCB. it must be true love. I can understand men like GCBs that they can't get, temporary rented love should suffice.

yes they make hardware
Do y'all thinking of e-mailing SLA and request for $0.11 psf B&W house.See how many units they can come out to us.
Knowing the pep position, tbh should have known the optics implied by renting from gov body
Property should be worth $100 million. Rent at 4%, rent should be $300,000 a month.
Seems like a way to resign from all government post by Shanmungam and Balakrisnan.
🥺
GCB cost more than just 100 million
Just saw Asiaone video.
Black & White is a lot cheaper as it is heritage property, and only 600 units. Rent is below market value between $15,000 to $25,000 due to some rules. Appears to be very expensive to refurbish. Figures pointed out was 6 figures and 5 figures to maintained.
There are 680,000 landed property.
There is a bungalow class as Good Class Bungalow, 39 sites with 2,600 bungalows.

1) cannot own or rent any properties, because all properties in Singapore, be it SLA Black and white houses, HDB or Private Residential Properties (Condo, Landed, GCB), either leasehold or freehold, are all governed by HDB, URA, BCA, SLA, and all buildings and land are subjected to LAND ACQUISITION ACT, which mostly fall under Ministry of National Development and Ministry of Law
2) cannot have access to healthcare, because be it private GPs to Polyclinics to Hospitals both public and private, which are governed by Ministry of Health
3) cannot have access to food, because most food staples in Singapore including rice are imported, which is governed by Singapore Food Agency
4) cannot have access to water, beacause water in Singapore is governed by PUB aka Singapore's National Water Agency
5) cannot have access to banking, because all banks in Singapore are governed by Monetary Authority of Singapore
6) cannot have access to transport, because transport in Singapore is governed by LAND TRANSPORT AUTHORITY (LTA)
I guess only a ghost can fit your expectation of an honest government, since a ghost doesn't require any of the above.
@@TheTinyRedDot nobody doubted that logic, people are doubting why you move from one GCB to another GCB and lose money on rent and didn't sell away the GCB yet.
@@TheTinyRedDothahaha! Typical paid washer! If the house can be rent by public, why CPIB report showing 26 Ridout Road was not on public tender at that time? While the wife of minister signed the tenancy agreement but no the minister?
Wake up sinkies…..
I am surprised most PAP members are silent on the issue. Nothing is private for civil servant especially B&W house is considered status and luxury living, the salary he earns are partially if not fully billed by tax payers. It is too showy as a civil servant. The pay check for Ministers are definitely too high.
Doesn’t reflect well : Large state property at a prestigious location rented out at such a low rate compared to GCBs of similar stats to a public servant(also the SLA under his charge) is just bad optics - the man on the street takes umbrage :(
This is not the case. At what state or condition was this property in,? There are many criteria for its rental rates.
A four room hdb in the same block with 99 % similarity can fetch diff price!
Shanmungam & Balakrisnan is ON THEIR WAY OUT.
100,000 sf properties.
That's really large.
They will take responsibility for the mess of CECA game.
Looks like Menon, Tharman also on their way out too.
🥺
SERVE THE PEOPLE NOT YOURSELF
As LAW MINISTER , HE SHOULD CONDUCT HIMSELF FIRST AMONG ALL IN THE HOUSE ? IF HE CANT BEHAVE OR RULE HIMSELF , BEST IS HE RESIGN OR PM LEE , YOU HAVE TO REMOVE HIM OR PAP OUT OF THE GAME NEXT ELECTION , BECAUSE OF HIM !! HE CANT OR CANNOT WIN EVERYTIME ! NO DOUBT HIS CLEARED OF ANY MISGIVING , THE INTEGRITY OF THIS CALL " LAW " IS AT STAKE !!!
They have already rule like kings, it’s YOU that should behave, if not you can always get out and their FTs will take your place
So the final verdict is They both are Clean . Really ......
? We still have to Accept it since its Ownself check Ownself ! Hahaha !
