Aljunied town council: WP takes over on Monday

THE Workers' Party (WP) formally takes over the running and operations of the Aljunied Town Council from the People's Action Party (PAP) on Monday, following the opposition party's win in the GRC at the May 7 general election.

The most significant change ahead of the handover was the May 27 merger of the town councils for Aljunied GRC and neighbouring WP-held Hougang, which the party said was to take advantage of economies of scale.

The new Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, chaired by Aljunied GRC MP and WP chairman Sylvia Lim, has taken on all existing agreements of the Aljunied Town Council.
