Then the poor and hungry how?

Patrons, PA, and the local SME that funded some of those un-neccessary dinner for MPS to come.
these money can be really put to good use.

My Office every year receive multiple times to ask for sponsorship of these dinners..

I also mentioned before, these could have been co-fund together in a more transparent method ,
NOT throw the burden directly on the hawker, which is some sort of governance issues systemic from civil service now...(Unfortunately) .
The Social Aspect is good but solely depending on Private Companies to fulfil the mission without supervision is whats now

I get that, but as Minister, with his reach and influence, he should have been more careful and did the due diligence with something that has potentially great implications and even potential damage to a lot of people, in particular to Seetoh, before putting out a public statement like that. If a nameless faceless ka kia can make our Minister commit such a mistake, it is very concerning.

From his original post on Facebook:

Sounds like he is accusing Seetoh of putting people down, when he is doing it himself.

Will the Minister have the humility and balls to admit that he was wrong, and apologise to Seetoh and everyone involved?

Let's monitor together with Desmond

:cry:
This eff-ing JLB should apologise for getting the facts wrong instead of throwing a curve ball to get SF to tone down. :frown:

1 billion budget. Main fault in the system is needs to use up allocated budget to avoid budget cut next year. So all the wastefulness happened.

China crackdown down on civil service and state enterprises dinner events, all the big restaurants scale down closed.
