Sentosa YB, Wilfred Yap have received a letter dated 1st April 2024 from YB Chong Chieng Jen concerning the challenge from him for a public debate confined to specific topics of concern and affecting the voters in the constituency of Kota Sentosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stand of Yap remains consistent that he has no problems for a public debate with Chong specifically on Kota Sentosa constituency matters only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yap is the current State Assemblyman of Kota Sentosa and Chong is the former three term Assemblyman for Kota Sentosa and current two term Member of Parliament for Stampin on which Kota Sentosa is part of. He said it is therefore appropriate for Chong to debate with him on what he has done for the welfare, progress and development of Kota Sentosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any public debate between Yap and Chong must be relevant to the voters of Kota Sentosa and on matters both are responsible for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The counter proposal by Chong Chieng Jen for Yap to debate with his assistant on accountability and transparency would be a sheer waste of time as Yap is an ordinary YB and does not hold any government post and is not directly involved in the making of policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures on integrity, accountability and transparency of government ministries, departments, local authorities and government linked companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a world where transparency and accountability are essential for a functional democracy, the Ombudsman Ordinance 2023 play an essential role in ensuring the voice of the people are heard and the government operates in the best interest of its citizens, Yap stated he is proud to have debated and voted for the passsing into law of the Ombudsman Ordinance 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
