Saktiandi Supaat on Community Disputes Resolution (Amendment) Bill
In cases of neighbour disputes, parties should generally be compelled to attend mediation unless there is a very good reason not to, said MP Saktiandi Supaat. In Parliament on Tuesday (Nov 12), he asked why issuing a directive on this at the outset will still be discretionary rather than mandatory, especially when it seems mediation will be a prerequisite before an individual can begin a claim of unreasonable interference. Like many other Members of the House, Mr Saktiandi also asked about the new Community Relations Unit (CRU). He wanted to know when its year-long pilot in Tampines will begin and whether other areas can be covered concurrently. He asked how many Community Relations Officers (CROs) and auxiliary CROs will be appointed, what will determine their number and deployment, and whether they will receive remuneration on top of their existing job scopes. He also asked if grassroots leaders might be appointed as auxiliary CROs in future.
