It’s another sad, sad day when the Ridout findings turn out just as expected
30-06-2023, 04:12 PM
Minister K Shanmugam paid $26,500 monthly rental for the massive 26 Ridout Road property – exactly the same as the guide rent set by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), which was unknown to the minister.
How’s that for a coincidence?
As for Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, his wife happened to come across a “For Lease” sign at 31 Ridout Road and contacted SLA about the rental. They paid $19,000 a month – just $200 above the guide rent.
So it’s purely by coincidence that the two ministers became neighbours.
If Mrs Balakrishnan did not happen by chance to venture out to 31 Ridout Road, she would not have seen the “For Lease” sign, and she and her husband would not have ended up as tenants so close to where Minister Shanmugam lived.

Sad day because two apparently cooked ducks can still escape and fly away.

Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge

Contractually, they are not wrong at all.
But I think they understand the loophole of cheap rental price at a large plot prime area. Technically they are not wrong but they smelled opportunity with intent.

PAP minister's trademark strategy is always using coincidence or 'just so happened' (Amy Khor egg sagat) to ensure legality
of their actions. The law does not explicitly forbid coincidence nor 'just so happened' cases. Hence they appear as legitimate with zero preferential treatment. Don't argue.
Never ever doubt the honest and integrity of PAP ministers....because 61% voted for it.
