Written Answer by Ministry of National Development on whether the Ministry monitors the annual turnover rate amongst Town Council (TC) property officers broken down by junior, middle and senior categories

May 9, 2022

Mr Murali Pillai: To ask the Minister for National Development (a) whether the Ministry monitors the annual turnover rate amongst Town Council (TC) property officers; and (b) if so, in each of the past 10 years, what is the average annual turnover rate of TC property officers (either directly employed by TCs or by their managing agents) broken down by junior, middle and senior categories.

Answer:

1          Town Councils (TCs) are autonomous legal entities formed under the TCs Act and managed by elected Members of Parliament. TCs are responsible for managing their own manpower and other resources required to carry out their duties.

2          Given the autonomous nature of TCs, MND does not monitor the annual turnover rate of TC property officers. We therefore do not have information on the average annual turnover rate of TC property officers for the past 10 years.
