“Workers have had to give kickbacks, what did the town council do? But unfortunately, some, not all, political parties as well as online news sites … have gone further and politicised it, and made allegations without really understanding what happened,” he added.
“It would be better if they had asked first what happened. And it will come out that the whistleblowing system in the town council worked.”
Mr Shanmugam is the anchor minister in Nee Soon GRC, leading the People’s Action Party team there.
