this thread deserves to be the thread of the year 2012 and 2013.

The 3 clause of e tender requiring a very specific:
- 13 to 15kg weight,
- ONLY 6 gear &
- ONLY 16inch
is a clear indication that corruption is involved.


Why did KBW chose to ignore this after this was highlighted to him.

No one from NPark should make such a specific & useless requirement.
Why not ask for smaller than 16"?
Why not ask for less than 15kg?
Why not ask for >6 gear?

Anyone like KBW who fail to see this during initial investigation & come out denying there's corruption are either really stupid OR trying to cover up

Logic indicates that this is clear that something is wrong. But at most, this is circumstantial evidence. Need more hard, solid facts to back it up.

Not to help them, these are usually people who know and understand loopholes of the law system and exploit them fully. The laws need to catch up with them to close the gaps.

Because he is not charged for corruption or anything inappropriate in the bidding.

He is only charged for a relatively minor offense of "lying to the auditors" during investigation about his personal relationship with the owner of the company which won the bid.

PAP Government are also happy because it is officially not another corruption case in the government but just a case of personal honesty in a "minor" matter.

Frankly, I don't see this as something to be happy about. This shows that a lot of things are within his expectations.

That's blatant exploitation of the loopholes in the law system.

Actually, the specs doesnt prevent vendors from bidding per se. It just causes their bid "not to fit specification requirements".

Cant remember the facts, but if only 1 vendor bidded, it was probably that they did not even see the tender. I remember that it was done during CNY period. I find this a more dodgy factor than the spec.

UPDATE:
NParks assistant director involved in Brompton Bikes case claims trial

nparks-bernard-lim.jpg


SINGAPORE: The assistant director with the National Parks Board (NParks) who was charged last month with giving false information to public servants has indicated he will claim trial.

42-year-old Bernard Lim Yong Soon was back in court on Friday morning for his case to be mentioned.

He is accused of giving false information to officers from the National Development Ministry about his relationship with a director of Bikehop Singapore - the company that was at the centre of the controversial Brompton bicycle purchase last year.

A pre-trial conference date has been set for October 24.

According to court documents, Lim allegedly told the ministry’s officers that he did not have a personal relationship with Bikehop director - Lawrence Lim Chun How.

He also allegedly said he met Lawrence Lim for the first time at a meeting to discuss the delay of a batch of Brompton bicycles to NParks.

According to court papers, Bernard Lim gave this information which he knew was false so that his personal relationship with Lawrence Lim would likely not be investigated.

Bernard Lim also faces a second charge with abetting Lawrence Lim in denying their friendship to the ministry officials.

Previous reports have said Bernard Lim was friends with the owners of Bikehop Singapore.

No further action will be taken against Lawrence Lim.

Bernard Lim was suspended last year over the purchase of the foldable Brompton bicycles when discrepancies uncovered, suggested a possibility of bias in the procurement process.

This followed an internal audit by the ministry after it came to light that each bicycle cost S$2,200.

NParks had purchased 26 bicycles - totalling some S$57,000 - as they were needed to improve productivity of staff who inspect trees and sites.

The purchase raised eyebrows and led to questions about the tender, which was called during the Lunar New Year period, and where a six-day deadline was set for interested firms to respond.

The contract was eventually awarded to Bikehop Singapore, the only company to make a bid.
