AHTC case: Town council says it will comply with MND's rectification order on Sylvia Lim and Low Thia Khiang despite 'doubt' over its propriety

requiring AHTC to take action against the duo, saying that the town council had made its resolution despite the High Court's"serious and grave findings".

This section in the TCA states that the minister"may order ... given in writing to the town council, require the town council to take specified remedial action to address the deficiencies within a specified period and to report to the minister, at the end of the specified period ... on the action taken to give effect to the requirement".

AHTC argued in its letter that during the debate on the parliamentary motion in November, Second Minister for Finance Indranee Rajah"had affirmed that it was the town council who had jurisdiction to decide" on the recusal of Ms Lim and Mr Low.
