Still fresh in our memory, for instance, was how the self-proclaimed “non-partisan” PA swiftly took control of 26 sites previously managed by the PAP-led Aljunied Town Council following WP’s 2011 electoral victory in Aljunied GRC. The site grab was accompanied by a statement unabashedly declaring that “The PA and its GROs are non-partisan and do not allow any political party or MP to hold activities on PA premises or other facilities managed by the PA … This applies to all political parties and MPs, including the PAP.” Potong Pasir, of course, was another favorite target. The housing estate was starved of basic services like public transportation, banks and lift upgrading throughout its 27 years under Chiam See Tong. Today, it seems that the small-minded PA and its CCCs have finally and belatedly woken up to the facts that they should be serving the people of Singapore and not only those who have a penchant for the color white, and that Singaporeans residing in non-PAP wards are also tax-paying citizens.
