SINGAPORE — Correction directions have been issued to Reform Party chief Kenneth Jeyaretnam, a Facebook user named Thamil Selvan and online publication Jom over articles and social media posts about the rental of two bungalows along Ridout Road by two ministers.
It emerged in early May that Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam and Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan are renting two black-and-white bungalows at 26 and 31 Ridout Road respectively.
Mr Thamil did so in a Facebook post on July 1, while Mr Jeyaretnam made the claims in an article on his website. It was also shared on his Twitter page. “SLA did not award any contract to Livspace to carry out works to 26 Ridout Road or 31 Ridout Road. SLA has not had any transactions with Livspace for these or other properties.”
The publication said Mr Teo did not go beyond replying that it is more important to observe the spirit rather than just the letter of the code. “Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean had expressly clarified that he meant it was important to observe the spirit as well as the letter of the code,” said the ministries.
The ministries said that the identity of the tenants had no bearing on the amount spent by SLA on the works carried out on both bungalows.
