Statement about the S$90,000 spent
At the EGM, the previous Exco reported that it had spent some $90,000 from the time it took office. On the face of it, this does seem excessive and does exceed the monthly spending limit of the Executive Committee as specified in the Constitution.
The current Exco is reviewing documents provided at the recent handover before deciding on appropriate action.
