SINGAPORE – A barrier-free access ramp that took seven years to complete has led to Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh sparring with a People’s Association (PA) grassroots adviser over what Mr Singh said are “double standards” for funding community improvement projects in opposition wards.

In a Facebook post last Tuesday (Oct 15), Mr Singh insinuated that the ramp at Block 108 Bedok Reservoir Road – first proposed in 2012 – was delayed because it was mooted by the opposition party.

This prompted the PA grassroots adviser, Mr Chua Eng Leong, to hit back last Saturday at Mr Singh’s “unsubstantiated” remarks, which he also labelled as “politically divisive and factually inaccurate”. Mr Chua was part of the losing People’s Action Party (PAP) team that ran against the WP in Aljunied GRC during the 2015 General Election.
