Workers’ Party chairman Sylvia Lim has filed an adjournment motion on the town councils review.

National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan is expected to give a ministerial statement on the issue in Parliament next Monday.

In a report last week, a National Development Ministry team had been tasked to review the sale of software in 2010 by town councils to a PAP-owned company, Action Information Management (AIM).

While it gave the all-clear to the transaction, it also said it might be timely now for a review of the role that town councils play.

According to Ms Lim, filing such a motion will allow further discussion on the matter.

Ms Lim said she believes there will be keen interest among MPs on the issue: “Certainly this is a matter of public interest, and it affects all elected MPs because we are all responsible for town council management.”
