MacPherson RC apologises for charging new citizens less for community event
Yahoo News Singapore4 August 2017


A Residents’ Committee (RC) in MacPherson constituency that drew flak from residents for charging Singaporeans three times more than “new citizens” for tickets to a community event has apologised and offered refunds to all who attended the event.

The RC charged citizens $3 and new citizens $1 for an open house held last Sunday (30 July).

The move also left MacPherson’s Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling “very upset”.

A statement posted on the MacPherson RC Zone B page on Thursday (3 Aug) said the move had no “ill intent” and recognised that it was an “unwise decision”. It explained, “We thought that a lower ticket price will encourage more new citizens to come forward. In doing so, we have neglected the feelings of the majority of our residents. It was a once-off decision by our committee to charge differently and definitely not a policy of the MacPherson grassroots.”

It added, “As fellow residents, we have never harboured any intent of discriminating fellow citizens.”

Tin said the mistake “should not have happened”. Referring to the incident, she wrote on Facebook, “We have counseled the RC and tightened the internal vetting process. The RC had no ill intention but still, it was a mistake that should not have happened.”

LOL, kana pik jalobang, now have to explain.

Claim, she not aware. As an MP, how can you let things happened and claim not aware. What have you been approving?
It is just your constituency, can imagine the damage if she is running the country?
If this happen in WP constituency, hell will break loose. Sue until pants drop. LOL.

Reminds me of.....
SINGAPORE: The erroneous Tamil translations of this year's National Day Parade theme that were found on some National Day Parade (NDP) publicity pamphlets were made by the printers of the pamphlets, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said in a written Parliamentary reply on Tuesday (Aug 1).

It can never ever be their fault!!!!!

decision made by the RC com.. nothing to do with the mp wad.
high chances the funds come from INC... which for some areas i understand they might be subsidising per ticket for new citizens only.

For Eg.. if WEC put up a poster say Women pay cheaper.. guys will say sexist?

Bro, you are not alone....many ppl numbed liao.
That is why very hard for Opp to win more ward.

Actually Consider very very good if Opp can retain their present wards plus one more SMC or GRC in the next election.
