Quoting Chee Soon Juan
Herein lies the problem. The bids for the bungalows were not made by the Ministers themselves but their wives. Did the SLA determine that the wives also earned at least 3 times the bid rent of $26,000 a month? If not, how did it know that the women were of sound financial status? Was SLA told that they were the wives of the Ministers’? Did this affect the decision-making process?
More importantly, why did Shanmugam and Balakrishnan not apply for the rental in their own names? Did they think it was inappropriate to do so?
