Annual Turnover Rate Amongst Town Council Property Officers by Junior, Middle and Senior Categories

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

Mr Desmond Lee: Town Councils are autonomous legal entities formed under the Town Councils Act and managed by elected Members of Parliament. Town Councils are responsible for managing their own manpower and other resources required to carry out their duties.

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