So now we know that both the ministers rented the properties under direct leasing. If this is not a Conflicting Information, What is? The question is; What drove the SLA to make the conflicting and misleading information in the first place? Are there any accountability?
"The lease for 26 Ridout Road was signed by Mr Shanmugam's WIFE in June 2018.

Maybe Singaporeans should tell the HDB the aircon ledge is non "livable space"?

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.
CPIB already investigated and found no wrongdoing. And u wanted our PM to misuse his power to reopen the case because you are not happy with CPIB investigation reports. My advice to you is you file a police report and let the police investigate your so called “criminal case”
All those Opposition politicians and supporters who are pointing finger are the real concern. If they come into power, your private property will be subject to confiscation at their whim and fancy and false allegations, eh.

There are no VIP treatments on paper. Simple example, if they need to see a specialist in a government hospital, do you think they need to wait 3-6 months like all the peasants? When certain names appear, the people will know what to do to keep their bosses happy and protect their own rice bowl.

Well, let me illustrate to you another perspective on this. So these individuals are the people governing our nation and making the big decisions for our country's future and what-not. If they were somewhat ill and if that might impair their abilities to work in their hired capacities, would you not want them treated ASAP? Or would you rather they quit and a new hire be found? If they were only a rank and file employee in roles that readily have many capable candidates, sure. But do you think it would be easy to find a replacement of a similar qualification, capability and experience in a short period of time? I would put it to you that in the amount of time needed to find such a replacement, the incumbent would have already seen the medical specialist, started on their treatment, and back in their jobs, versus the new hire who would still be finding his feet in his new job, provided you can actually find someone in that short span of time. So priority for members of the govt, sure I can accept that. But where I would draw the line is excessive "discounts" for products and services etc. Like some minister's rumoured $8 heart surgery.

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?

20k in rent is for the rent. Cannot say the 20k rent is sufficient to cover the extra costs spent , recovered over the lease years. Yes, there is income but then if only use the rent to cover the repairs, the income of rent is gone to cover the repairs so where is the rent income thats supposed to be earned?
Not everything is profitable, but there are cost benefits analysis, beats leaving it vacant? As a landlord, sometimes u have to replace something at a loss to make it livable for thr tenant
Mr Teo - they rented at mkt rates. Question : why was floor area and not land area used for the landed properties calculation of rent amount as in all fenced up landed properties in Singapore? So the corollary is - did they got the land FOC?

Average rent that time is 29.6 psf built up n 31 ridout road is 23.05 psf base on built up!It is so serious because the leong said vivian initial tenancy 22% discount is base on built up n not land! Average rent that time is 29.6 psf built up n 31 ridout road is 23.05 psf base on built up!
What leong mun wai says is that ministers should not end up transacting with government to avoid conflict of interest. Totally impossible. Must as well outsource our politicians to another country, and these politicians barred from buying anything in singapore. Zero conflict of interest then.

Basically why can’t you put in place a law that all ministers are not allowed to rent out any properties. I mean eventually you can’t blame Singaporeans to think negatively. Look at what is happening now. Is it worth the effort and time? When I am sure there is much more important thing to attend to.
Why would a minister rent another bungalow when they already owns one ? Tax n expense write off? In Canada, elected officials came from all over the Provinces n rent a house or condo in Ottawa n they claim allowable rental expenses
Really not sure why is 26k a month for a gcb equivalent house is consider market rate. Just do a search and the rental rate for half the size gcb is around 65k. Hope our minister can provide more data to back this up.
Agreed. Mumbling most of them. Incoherent and unfortunately a disgrace to worthy alternative voices (not necessarily the Opposition) within or outside any political party.
Great issue to bite on, most people will simply ignore the differences between renting vs leasing/owning, and come up with all sorts of math to compare between the 2 based on $ per PSF, which is lol. Renting is straight up burning money, you can't ever get it back, while in a relatively stable property market here, buying a property (even though you technically do not own it for life) allows you sell it later on, most likely for a profit too. These 2 ministers fronting parts of the repair, and paying rent for these obviously very hard to rent out state owned properties (who the hell wants to live with wild poisonous snakes around) can easily be seen as putting money back into the government's coffers for other uses, seems quite a good thing.
the state should have done more to make it inhabitable instead of leaving it vacant on the market for 5 years which is a waste of our land. in fact all bw properties are too big and inefficient use of land. they should all be demolished. we have lack of land already as it is . want to live in big plots of land with big houses buy a retirement home in New Zealand or something -.- doesn't make sense to put lease/own in the same phrase. completely different things. hdb is effectively a 99 year rental agreement paid in lump sum not monthly that's all , don't see the difference.
@@taeyeonist1462 agree, not clear why we need to keep these B&W existing rather than using the land more productively. here's how i see rent v lease v own: rent = never getting back your money lease = some industries commonly work off lease to own schemes, buy over later and own, so thats i think where i was coming from own = ultimately hdb is marketed as own due to the long span which isn't accurate, but the reality is it is something you can sell back for money, it belongs in this category, because most would buy and sell multiple times in their lifetime
@@swellgr1 disagree. lease means the ownership lies with the state. if the government so chooses, it has the power to kick people out of their hdbs and rebuild it into something else. land acquisition act or whatever. it’s just that they use a special purpose agreement with an extra clause that allows you sell it in the market for leaseholds with conditions attached. hdb can decided to change the rules and ban sales tmr, but it won’t, doesn’t mean you own the property. i’m not saying we should be allowed to own hdbs, we do lack land. but call a spade a spade. long term leases != ownership.
sure, but the reality is most everyone gets to sell their HDB to recoup their past payments as of now and in the near future, renting is a 100% dead end you ain’t getting your money back. so who cares if these MPs are renting and burning their money on property that basically no one wants to rent? there’s no profit for the MP, but there is profit for the state.
@@swellgr1 that's just based on currently available information. the fact is there is very little precedent for what happens when a 99 years lease ends. and the public housing property market is getting way out of hands. you'd be able to sell a 10 year old bto sure what about those 80 year old flats? it does not change the underlying reality that a lease is not as good as ownership. fully owned properties go up in value over time. hdb housing depreciates over time. it may not depreciate at 10 years old but try 80 years

An insult to our intelligence
You go rent lorh, its up to the public to bid
go and rent la but make sure you can afford the maintenance
We can combine a few hundred people to pool together a fund to rent the place. The land is large enough to house a few hundred in makeshift huts or tentS. Wah! 0.11 cents/ psf so cheap!!!
Can their rental rate be even cheaper than HDB unit rate pro-rated to $/sqft/month?
Sorry, no MP asked that for you
Cost Per square feet is inversely proportional to size of development. Go ask housing agent.
What do you think?

@bannedagain-dt1oj Its LMW all the while and is your eyes playing trick on you ?
23,000 sqm only pays 9000sqm of "livable space"? Do you think Common Singaporeans ever enjoyed such "Extra treatment" before? By the way, is the SLA under the Ministry?
Erm isn't the livable space 856.5 sqm at 26 Ridout Rd?
What I heard SLA is under Ministry of Home Affairs which KS is the Minister. Is this true?
The cheapest area to rent a 5-room flat was Sembawang at $2,850 monthly. And it is about 1,100 to 1,200 square feet, a rental HDB is does not comes with a lawn where no living can be done unless you like the nature too much, but I digress
Now its much higher. Rent has skyrocketed recently
Behind the scenes, these two millionaire ministers have become a liability because of their lapse of good judgement.
And they know it.

"The lease for 26 Ridout Road was signed by Mr Shanmugam's WIFE in June 2018. At that time, the house had been vacant for more than four years, having attracted no bids since its last occupants moved out in December 2013."
"The lease for 31 Ridout Road was signed by Dr Balakrishnan's wife in October 2019."
What's with these ministers' wives signing the lease agreements and not them ?
Coincidence ?
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.
CPIB already investigated and found no wrongdoing. And u wanted our PM to misuse his power to reopen the case because you are not happy with CPIB investigation reports. My advice to you is you file a police report and let the police investigate your so called “criminal case”
All those Opposition politicians and supporters who are pointing finger are the real concern. If they come into power, your private property will be subject to confiscation at their whim and fancy and false allegations, eh.
Can u share with us who did he sent the messages to? Even he deleted all messages in his phone, he cannot and has no way to delete all messages in other people’s phones he has send to. How I know? I tried very hard to delete my messages to my wife in my wife’s phone

Precisely SM teo! Who is going to believe that our PM will not get any privileges in whatever he does in Singapore alone?? Because he is the PM!
There are no VIP treatments on paper. Simple example, if they need to see a specialist in a government hospital, do you think they need to wait 3-6 months like all the peasants? When certain names appear, the people will know what to do to keep their bosses happy and protect their own rice bowl.
Yawnz tell me which country dun pratice what u r saying dun be naive and dun pick on these kind of things to overturn government be diligent and find what the givernment is actually doing ifnpolicy are harmful and no improvement then raise it up dun always find these kind of fault which really wont make a difference coz this will also continue is the same what when in army whenever there afe high ranking officer coming will always do extra things to make it orwsentable
@@Ct0506 Exactly. This is how the world works. He is the one declaring with a straight face that everyone is treated equally.
Well, let me illustrate to you another perspective on this. So these individuals are the people governing our nation and making the big decisions for our country's future and what-not. If they were somewhat ill and if that might impair their abilities to work in their hired capacities, would you not want them treated ASAP? Or would you rather they quit and a new hire be found? If they were only a rank and file employee in roles that readily have many capable candidates, sure. But do you think it would be easy to find a replacement of a similar qualification, capability and experience in a short period of time? I would put it to you that in the amount of time needed to find such a replacement, the incumbent would have already seen the medical specialist, started on their treatment, and back in their jobs, versus the new hire who would still be finding his feet in his new job, provided you can actually find someone in that short span of time. So priority for members of the govt, sure I can accept that. But where I would draw the line is excessive "discounts" for products and services etc. Like some minister's rumoured $8 heart surgery.
I not saying too clearly, one guy took photo, the authorities issued letter and hand delivered to door very fast. Cannot say too much. Not sure why
Why would they need to see public subsidised medical services? U all would be jumping and crying lo.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

You just said the truth, that the PM does have power over everything :).
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?

20k in rent is for the rent. Cannot say the 20k rent is sufficient to cover the extra costs spent , recovered over the lease years. Yes, there is income but then if only use the rent to cover the repairs, the income of rent is gone to cover the repairs so where is the rent income thats supposed to be earned?

It is actually not high at all for that size. Even my 2 bedroom condo in Katong can get 6K rent
This proves that the monthly salary of each senior minister and minister of state, is so affordable to pay for such hefty and high rent extravagantly for a house he or she desires to reside in it….renting for S$26,000 or S$20,000 per month is actually a normal junior worker’s annual salary package !😮

No need worry too much abt Perceived Conflict of interest if confident of securing Majority support
Basically why can’t you put in place a law that all ministers are not allowed to rent out any properties. I mean eventually you can’t blame Singaporeans to think negatively. Look at what is happening now. Is it worth the effort and time? When I am sure there is much more important thing to attend to.
Why would a minister rent another bungalow when they already owns one ? Tax n expense write off? In Canada, elected officials came from all over the Provinces n rent a house or condo in Ottawa n they claim allowable rental expenses
We need to rethink our conservative policy. It doesn't benefit anyone to fork out huge sums regularly to preserve ancient buildings .
Really not sure why is 26k a month for a gcb equivalent house is consider market rate. Just do a search and the rental rate for half the size gcb is around 65k.

Great issue to bite on, most people will simply ignore the differences between renting vs leasing/owning, and come up with all sorts of math to compare between the 2 based on $ per PSF, which is lol.
Renting is straight up burning money, you can't ever get it back, while in a relatively stable property market here, buying a property (even though you technically do not own it for life) allows you sell it later on, most likely for a profit too.
These 2 ministers fronting parts of the repair, and paying rent for these obviously very hard to rent out state owned properties (who the hell wants to live with wild poisonous snakes around) can easily be seen as putting money back into the government's coffers for other uses, seems quite a good thing.
the state should have done more to make it inhabitable instead of leaving it vacant on the market for 5 years which is a waste of our land.
in fact all bw properties are too big and inefficient use of land. they should all be demolished. we have lack of land already as it is . want to live in big plots of land with big houses buy a retirement home in New Zealand or something -.-
doesn't make sense to put lease/own in the same phrase. completely different things. hdb is effectively a 99 year rental agreement paid in lump sum not monthly that's all , don't see the difference.
@@taeyeonist1462 agree, not clear why we need to keep these B&W existing rather than using the land more productively.
here's how i see rent v lease v own:
rent = never getting back your money
lease = some industries commonly work off lease to own schemes, buy over later and own, so thats i think where i was coming from
own = ultimately hdb is marketed as own due to the long span which isn't accurate, but the reality is it is something you can sell back for money, it belongs in this category, because most would buy and sell multiple times in their lifetime
@@swellgr1 disagree. lease means the ownership lies with the state. if the government so chooses, it has the power to kick people out of their hdbs and rebuild it into something else. land acquisition act or whatever. it’s just that they use a special purpose agreement with an extra clause that allows you sell it in the market for leaseholds with conditions attached. hdb can decided to change the rules and ban sales tmr, but it won’t, doesn’t mean you own the property. i’m not saying we should be allowed to own hdbs, we do lack land. but call a spade a spade. long term leases != ownership.
sure, but the reality is most everyone gets to sell their HDB to recoup their past payments as of now and in the near future, renting is a 100% dead end you ain’t getting your money back.
so who cares if these MPs are renting and burning their money on property that basically no one wants to rent? there’s no profit for the MP, but there is profit for the state.
@@swellgr1 that's just based on currently available information. the fact is there is very little precedent for what happens when a 99 years lease ends. and the public housing property market is getting way out of hands. you'd be able to sell a 10 year old bto sure what about those 80 year old flats?
it does not change the underlying reality that a lease is not as good as ownership. fully owned properties go up in value over time. hdb housing depreciates over time. it may not depreciate at 10 years old but try 80 years
