Netizens have been asking if this duo role of Mr Ho may have led to a possible conflict of interest. Besides Jurong, UGL Premas Limited manages Marine Parade, West Coast and Hong Kah Town Councils as well.

Mr Ho first came into public spotlight when he sacked an opposition supporter purportedly for ‘poor performance’ one day after she was spotted by fellow colleagues selling merchandise at an opposition rally.

It turns out that Mr Ho is also the PAP branch secretary of Bukit Batok East.

Another possible case of conflict of interest involves Aljunied Town Council which is managed by CPG Facilities Management. The General Manager of Aljunied Town Council Mr Jeffrey Chua is also the Managing Director of CPF Facilities Management. It is not known if he is a PAP member as well.

It is a common knowledge that grassroots organizations and Town Councils have long been politicized to become ‘political tools’ of the PAP regime.

PAP branch secretaries often wear many hats at the grassroots levels – some hold multiple positions such as Chairman of Community Clubs, Town Council managers and Chairman of Citizen Consultative Committees at the same time.

According to PAP strongman Lee Kuan Yew, all grassroots organizations such as CCs, CCCs and RCs are ‘part of the PAP.’
