丹戎巴葛集选区议员杨益财,昨日(17日)于脸书上发文指控有人恶意散播网络假消息。

配合父亲节,杨益财昨日上午在白桥巴刹赠送给居民巧克力,祝贺民众父亲节快乐。

然而不久后,社交媒体却流传照片,指杨益财派发给民众在2011年过期的巧克力。照片可见巧克力上还贴上人民行动党徽章,以及杨益财的名字。

巧克力过期的谣言很快网络上散播。本社在得知消息后,也向杨益财询问相关消息,却未得到任何回应。约在昨晚8时左右,杨益财便在个人脸书上宣称,有人恶意散播网络假消息。

“针对我今日(指16日)上午的街访活动,有人恶意透过Whastapp 与其他社交网站散播假消息,说我将赠送给居民的巧克力,在2011年已过期。“

他称,“透过照片上可显示其过期日期为2020年,其包装也表明保质期限格式为DD/MM/YY’ (如: 09/01/20), 对此我想向帮助购买与赠送巧克力的居民说声感谢。”

换言之,其保质期限的格式应解读为:YY(年份,如20)而非以YYYY(如2011),或许如前所述,20之后的数字仅仅代表生产号码。

然而,如果只是单纯祝贺民众、感念当爸爸的群众们为家庭的付出,为何巧克力包装上,非得要加上人民行动党的徽章与议员名字?其用意为何?是指议员已开始启动竞选行动吗?

杨益财曾是新加坡警察部队 (SPF)的助理警务专员 。他于1995年加入警队,并于2015年8月退休。在他任职期间,他担任过各种重要任命,包括副主任(规划与组织),主任(行政与财务),金文泰警察司司长,副主任(业务)和主任(公共事务)。他还曾在国家预防犯罪委员会和国家警察学员军团委员会任职;另外,他也担任警察体育协会的副主席和POLWEL合作社的副主席。目前担任丹戎巴葛集选区议员 。

Impending S&CC hike for HDB residents, Govt to provide temporary relief

A recent report by the Straits Times highlighted comments from Lim Biow Chuan, coordinating chairman for PAP town councils, suggesting that Housing Board residents can anticipate a rise in Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) in the near future. S&CC, which covers expenses such as estate cleaning, landscaping, refuse collection, pest control, and maintenance of mechanical and electrical fixtures like lifts and lights, last saw a rise between $1 and $17 per month, phased over two years, in 2017. Mr Lim noted that town councils are grappling with increased cost pressures due to rising energy prices, maintenance costs, and manpower costs. Energy prices have surged by 23% between 2018 and 2023, while lift maintenance costs have risen because of higher labour and material costs. The implementation of the Progressive Wage Model to uplift low-wage workers has further contributed to increased operational costs for town councils.
