The Ministry of National Development said that they had already given AHPETC a chance at the end of FY 2011 when their auditors had made a disclaimer of opinion.
However, MND explained that since the situation had not improved, they decided to take action this year.
They reasoned that FY2011 was the WP's first time receiving a disclaimer of opinion and it had promised to improve.
Despite this, MND said that the TC had not fixed the issues that it promised to fix and other issues have also surfaced indicating that the situation had worsened.
Worker's Party explained that they had actually been facing issues trying to get information pertaining to certain financial transactions from the former managing agent and the government authorities and this is why they had been missing financial records.
On the other hand, MND claims that it had given all the requested information to the TC and it was the TC that failed to further details to the MND.
While it seems that both parties are simply pointing fingers at each other, many netizens suspect that this is just another attempt by the authorities to 'fix' the opposition.
