TC’s computer & financial system

But it was how these things were in the past, it's not as if there was any financial malfeasance. TCs are political beasts, that should change, but not sure why people should be so surprised or kick up a fuss about how they are, when it is plain and obvious.

Actually hor, TCs in Singapore are little municipal animals concocted to divert voters' attention away from important national issues. :imanangel:

So nowadays, a Member of Parliament is just a glorified MCST chairman and seats in Parliament can be won or lost over how many child care centres there are in a particular constituency or how often the corridors are swept or when residents can get new lifts. :please:

In the bad old days when TCs were really political beasts, we had municipal elections. Just imagine that. How horrifying! Who in the world holds local/municipal/town council elections?! :shock:

Then I think they should be more efficient and competitive... One of the lifts at my place has been spoilt for almost a year... :razz: I can accept moderate-risk investments but not high-risk ones, which can result in actual losses.

Not trying to side WP, but based on the time period when HG had to find a contractor to do Town Council work, who would dare to have anything to do with THE OPPOSITIONS? There would have been so many questions of 'what if'...correct me if I am wrong.

I can't see that in this current environment, that anyone can be fearful of working for or being associated with the opposition parties. In fact, try being a PAP supporter these days.......juz kena hammered.

Ya, that's why I am bringing this up - we are using today's context to discuss how contractors were appointed. However, the political climate surrounding the time when AIM was appointed, and the time when FMSS was appointed was different.

Can anybody who is associated with opposition parties and is actually in business tell us how well they do when tendering for government contracts?

true. only big companies like cpg, or wp-linked companies like fmss. fmss got $26 million in contracts, not bad for being loyal supporters to wp.

nobody would say out aloud but it is guanxi. tender would work backwards - company knows what price to quote and what to offer, would then get the tender. so everything is legit. until competitor complains.

also pap taunting wp to sue teo ho pin over his questions on wp's guanxi. this thing is going back and forth. pots and kettles.

but since it is from trs and temasek review, not too sure of authenticity just yet. they have a history of making up scoops.
