... gutter politician Vivian Balakrishnan unleashed his NEA dogs to spoil the festive air on Chinese New Year eve. The goon squad from the National Environment Agency (NEA) raided a floral fair at the Hougang Central Hub where last minute shoppers were hunting down flowers like the pussy willow to decorate their homes for an auspicious start of the Lunar New Year. Their quarrel was obviously with the opposition party organising the event, but ordinary residents were not spared the collateral damage. Together with the Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC), stall holders were also summoned to appear in court on Feb 18, for manning stalls from Jan 9 to 30, without a licence. It matters not if the AHPETC had formally initiated communications with NEA over its intention to run the event since Dec 20 last year, with the nature of the community fair and the benefit to residents clearly stated. Apparently NEA does not engage in civil discourse, they simply resort to the courts to do the dirty work.
