PAP and WP candidates continued their verbal sparring over AHPETC during their walkabouts today. Minister K Shanmugam said WP' chief Low Thia Khiang "should be honest enough to read out what his auditors said about Hougang town council..if he really believes everything should come out with proper integrity."
Meanwhile Mr Low said: "We have already answered all the questions that were raised but the PAP is going in circles, and I think it’s unproductive to continue with the engagement."
