S&CC is like condo's maintenance fee.

There are cost involved for upkeeping of common properties within the estate. The S&CC or maintenance fee is to upkeep these.

What I can't agree is, if there are surplus in our monthly contribution, why is there a need for TCs to increase S&CC?

S&CC, town councils are designed to be run like a company, like all else Singapore.
All management work towards having reserves in case of 'rainy days'.
I guess the main question is what is the maximum reserve a town council should be allowed to hold, otherwise situations such as losing millions to risky investments will occur again due to greed, ambition to 'perform' etc.
I think town councils also receive some level of government grants, I often wonder if its the same for all town councils - if not it makes whatever audit a mere joke and political tool using government.

I dare PAP to loosen the grip on Media. We will definitely see interesting stories coming. If one is not guilty, why such tight control on media, so much censorship and indirect threat ?
