Okay, so the Auditor-General has concluded that there is serious conflict-of-interest in the AHPETC engaging FMSS Pte Ltd to be their facility maintenance agent because it is owned by Workers’ Party supporters. Now here’s just the thing: Ho Thiam Poh, the MD of UGL Premas is also a pap member and the chief executive of the Jurong GRC town council. He is not the only one.
The other such facilities maintenance agencies such as CPG Pte Ltd are also headed by PAP members. These are also clear-cut serious conflicts-of-interest as these are obvious cases of PAP members operating companies that supply services to pap-run town councils.
Even more blatant is AIM Pte Ltd buying the town council management software at low cost and leasing it back to pap run town councils because AIM is owned by the PAP itself.
In simple terms, this means that the PAP-led government sold public property, the town council management software, to a company owned by the ruling party, the PAP itself, to be leased to PAP-run town councils, paid for by residents in these estates, for profit. And just where do the profits go to? Obviously to the owners of AIM of course, namely the 2 PAP fellas (I’m not sure if they are still PAP members but certainly one of them is former MP Chandra Das).
To quote Law Minister K. Shanmugam, AIM is taking money from the hands of the man in the street and giving it to their friends, the PAP.
There is a very simple solution. To prevent anymore such clear cut conflict of interest, businesses owned by political party members or supporters of political parties should not be allowed to bid for contracts tendered by their affiliated parties.
Only neutral or non-affiliated vendors should be allowed to bid for such tenders. In this way, it will be guaranteed that there will be no conflict of interest and inappropriate favors between clients and vendors.
Even better, any irregularities in transactions between the town councils and their respective vendors will be found and can be reported immediately for appropriate remedial action.
On behalf of the people of Singapore then, we call upon the government to terminate ALL existing contracts between ALL the various town councils and their respective vendors and to put up a new tender for them. CPG, UGL Premas, AIM and all other such PAP-affiliated vendors shall only be allowed to bid for tenders issued by non-PAP run town councils and NOT for PAP-run ones.
Similarly, FMSS and other non-PAP affiliated vendors are only allowed to bid for tenders submitted by PAP-run town councils and NOT for non-PAP run ones.
So PM Lee, MND Khaw, Law Minister Sham, are all of you prepared to put your monies where your mouths are and implement this with immediate effect, or are you going to prove yourselves to be the cowards that everyone knows that all of you are and chicken out from this challenge?
