The minority have some recourse and we toddled off to see Mah Bow Tan at the 'meet the people session' held once a week at the PA Association in Tampines. He was pleasant and earnest in his dealings with us and told us to appeal to the STB (wow, we would never have thought of that on our own). He assured us they were not partisan in their judgement, but with their track record so far, who can believe that. Don't kid yourselves, the MP's are all for enblocs and they are polite but do not offer any real help.<BR/>We went home, opened a gmail account, sent out a flyer and lobbied for minority owners to put up a fight. 45 replied of which 38 collectivly engaged a lawyer to make a STB appeal when the time comes.<BR/><BR/>Pre-EOGM, that's where we are at the moment. <BR/><BR/>Our lawyer has a plan (not to be revealed here, you understand) and we will NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.nothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560697638185188534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199796605339305108.post-45958771278003798922007-06-03T17:20:00.000+08:002007-06-03T17:20:00.000+08:00You know, despite my reservations, in the end I se...You know, despite my reservations, in the end I sent an "en bloc dissent" feeler direct to my MP within the Tanjong Pagar GRC as entire swathes of District 9 have been or are being collectively sold in 2006/07. <BR/><BR/>Today is 3 June 2007. It has been exactly 2 months and 12 days since I sent that feeler e-mail and I didn't even get a squeak of an acknowledgement of receipt! <BR/><BR/>In the next GE (if it's not another walkover), I know whom I won't vote for! Of course, one bad apple does not a barrel make. There are MPs and MPs naturally!The Pariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725490396019425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199796605339305108.post-80118685192072395372007-05-19T01:44:00.000+08:002007-05-19T01:44:00.000+08:00Well said, Dr. We definitely need more of these an...Well said, Dr. We definitely need more of these anti-enbloc blogs! <BR/><BR/>hmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
