Wonder if I should just write to PM Lee to complain about this. After all, is this a good use of tax payer money? Or should I just write to WP and see if this will be brought up for parliament debate?

Write to WP bah if you have the facts. The gt leadership now lives in their own world.

They are probably cutting by normal attrition. That means letting the contracts expire and they will not renew them.
Some say that it is because there is some fat to be trimmed.
