The construction of the bin centre located outside the Asian Civilisation Museum (ACM) involved “much more than a typical consultancy,” said Lawrence Wong, Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), on Monday (15 August).

Besides coming up with a joint refuse collection solution for Victoria Theatre, Victoria Concert Hall, the Asian Civilisation Museum (ACM), the Old Parliament House and Parliament House, the consultation also involved optimising the space and preserving the historical buildings in the vicinity, Wong said in Parliament.

Wong was responding to questions by Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Kok Heng Leun on the recent Auditor-General’s Office (AGO) report, in which the AGO said that the National Arts Council (NAC) had spent an “exceptionally high” consultancy fee of $410,000 for the bin centre. Together with the $470,000 construction cost, the bin centre cost at least $880,000.

I cannot understand how LW can justify for such an expensive bin centre. If he becomes PM will he also anyhow spend money?

Frivolous spending like this and he can say is justified. That is the reason why they have to keep raising GST.
