GE2015: PAP carried out political smearing against the Workers' Party for political capital: WP chief Low Thia Khiang
[SINGAPORE] The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) has used the Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council saga to carry out political smearing against the Workers' Party (WP) so as to score political capital, said the opposition party chief Low Thia Khiang at an election rally on Thursday evening.
He cited various instances in which the PAP government ministers had said the AHPETC, which runs the Aljunied GRC, Hougang and Punggol Single-Member Constituencies as a town, used its surplus to cover losses incurred by the Hougang Town Council.
