SINGAPORE: Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam has condemned the allegations that his son’s company is involved with the renovations at the state-owned Ridout Road properties rented by Mr Shanmugam and his colleague, Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.
“I have not independently verified this, but apparently the renovations were done by a company headed by Shanmugam’s son. Did his company do the repair works paid for by SLA or only the additional $400,000 that the report says Shanmugam paid? If the former, how can that be compatible with good governance?
Second Minister for Law Edwin Tong quashed these rumours during the parliamentary debate on the Ridout Road controversy today, calling such allegations “scurrilous” and “unwarranted.”
