AHTC clarifies roles of Sylvia Lim, Pritam Singh in response to MND’s request for information

Given the Court of Appeal’s findings, MND had also inquired on August 22 regarding other & nbsp, actions that AHTC intends to take in relation to them. & nbsp,

The Town Council’s payments approach in relation to the nomination of a controlling agent was found to have been negligent by Ms. Lim and Mr. Low by the Court of Appeal in July. In the lawsuit, attorneys for AHTC did not assert any claims against Mr. Singh regarding power failures.

The city council stated on Tuesday that” AHTC is assured that the underlying cause of concern regarding conflicted individuals and the lack of protection in the payment procedures related to the appointment of a conflicting managing agent has been completely addressed.”

It stated that it had” no intentions for any other action” and” saw no cause to prevent Mr. Pritam Singh and Ms. Sylvia Lim from carrying out their functions and duties as elected ministers of the city government.”

The accountant was” moderately satisfied” that AHTC was cooperative with the Town Council Act, according to KPMG’s final monthly statement from February 14, 2018.

Additionally, AHTC has switched to a clear area management model since mid-2015, which would have decreased the conflicted person’s risk.

Most importantly, AHTC has ensured that good management standards are in place by achieving clean band for the management reporting schedule in the Town Council Code of Governance from FY2021 to 2022.

Additionally, AHTC cited its unqualified audited financial statements for the FY2019 – F2022 fiscal period.

In an effort to” further enhance governance ,” the town council also hired Baker Tilly Consultancy, an independent internal auditor, for two years in 2020 to review its corporate governance, procurement, and financial rules compliance processes.

On Tuesday, AHTC reported that” no material power shortcomings were flagged.” & nbsp,

Following a response from AHTC, MND announced on August 22 that it would take additional regulatory action to” protect” people funds entrusted to the town council.

MND has been contacted by CNA for more details.

In regards to the performance of Ms. Lim’s and Mr. Singhs’ rights and responsibilities, the AHTC stated on Tuesday that it” trusts that no governmental action needs to be taken.”

The city council stated in its assumption that” AHTC not longer engages an additional handling agent and the payment methods and techniques that were the subject of the( Court of Appeal’s ) observations have long been overhauled and enhanced.”

The audits conducted by AHTC since FY2019 and the governance reviews conducted between FY2021 and 2022″ most important, demonstrate how consistently the organization has upheld high standards of governance and compliance.”
