SINGAPORE : National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan has rejected Mr Chiam See Tong's request for $80m as money for upgrading in the Potong Pasir constituency.
Mr Chiam wrote to Mr Mah last Wednesday asking how he could get access to these funds as his town council was planning improvement works, especially lift upgrading.
But Mr Mah said Mr Chiam should proceed, using his own town council's funds.
In his reply to Mr Chiam, which was copied to media, Mr Mah explained that the $80m upgrading package was proposed by PAP candidate Sitoh Yih Pin as his plan for the constituency if he was elected.
Since the majority of Potong Pasir voters rejected Mr Sitoh and his plan, Mr Mah said the issue of funding no longer arises.
He added that as Mr Chiam claimed during the election campaign that the Potong Pasir Town Council had enough funds to do lift upgrading for all the blocks in his constituency over the next five years, he should therefore proceed to do so.
