What the AGO didn't tell you about government accounts

So the WP supporters have pointed out that the AGO Audit Report released recently, shows that the PAP govt is being hypocritical and that these issues about AHPETC / AHTC accounts is simply a case of the pot calling the kettle black / political assassination.

hello WP supporters... are you all really that stupid?

Yes, there were some very embarrassing lapses and problems that the AGO found.

(Food for thought - if the AGO was indeed manipulated and controlled by the PAP govt as claimed by some quarters, then why would the AGO even bother to release their report?)

But do you know what is the ONE critical and significant difference that sets the problems that the AGO found from the AHPETC / AHTC problems?

IT IS THE FACT THAT WITH THE AHPETC / AHTC ACCOUNTS, NO ONE CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN WHERE ALL THE RESIDENTS' MONEY HAVE GONE.

In the govt's case, for each and every problem, the AGO knew exactly where the money went, and the monies could all be accounted for.

However, on the other hand, can anyone say for certain where the AHPETC / AHTC money went and what it was used for?

So it is really bullshit logic when WP supporters attempt to use the AGO report to trivialise the serious problems of AHPETC accounts mess.

And here's the kicker - WP did not even attempt or bother to explain how and why were the Accounts in such a mess.  All Pritam Singh said was that the town council "accepts all the recommendations in full".

Please lah.. if the KPMG report was on a PAP Town Council instead, would you be able to accept this sad state of affairs without any explanation?

Would you not be out-raged and be demanding for the out-right resignation of the MP and the people who are running the Town Council?

And yet, all we see from the anti-govt / anti-establishment websites, is an almost eerie silence on the KPMG Report on AHPETC / AHTC, except for when the AGO report was released and used as an excuse by WP supporters.

 "Some people are saying “AGO also found problems in government bodies, why is the government going on about AHTC?” Here are 4 serious problems auditors found in AHTC, but not in government bodies…

1. Lapses left for more than a year
2. Hiding of accounts
3. Payments to friends
4. Widespread lack of integrity
