Why the focus on AHPETC when there are other issues?

I have been busy recently but even then I am quite tired of listening to the continuous reporting of Aljunied Hougang Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) conflict of interest (COI) issue. No matter how much reporting is done, it does not deviate from the understanding is that there was COI but there wasn't any wrong doing. However, the AGO report is also out and in it, there is even an instance of misuse of funds. I never heard any reporting of those issues.

Below are some excerpts from the AGO report which you could also view here:
  1. MINDEF: Lapses in the Licensing of Land
  2. MOE: Lapses in Tender Evaluation and Contract Management
  3. MOE: Lapses in Appointment and Monitoring of Former Staff Engaged for Projects
  4. MFA: Contracts Made Outside Singapore Not Signed by Authorised Signatories
  5. SCDF: Lapses in Controls over Financial Commitments and Payments
  6. SCDF: Misuse of Funds Stored in Cash Cards
  7. MDA: Lapses in Evaluation of Projects for Funding
  8. NHB: Irregularities in Management of Variation Works
  9.  HSA: Contracts Awarded to Incumbent Contractors that Did Not Meet Tender Requirements
  10. NPARKS: Creating and Backdating of Documents Furnished for Audit
  11. NCSS: Irregularities at Various Stages of Procurement
  12. SPRING: Lapses in Procurement of Services to Administer an Award

Seriously, those examples that I've extracted out would have more learning points than AHPETC.
