Govt has zero tolerance policy towards corruption: Chan Chun Sing

[BuiKia]

SINGAPORE: Replying to a question from Member of Parliament (MP) for Aljunied GRC Sylvia Lim on the risk of corruption in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Senior Minister of State for Defence Chan Chun Sing said MINDEF, like the rest of the government has a zero tolerance policy towards corruption.

He said Singapore's defence procurement process is widely recognised to be of the highest standards.

Ms Sylvia Lim had commented on Singapore getting a "D+" rating in a Transparency International (TI) report.

"In political oversight, TI even singles out our defence supply committee as being provided with minimal information to guide decision-making. I think we should continue to review how much more information about MINDEF's spending can be shared with parliamentarians and the general public to reduce corruption risk. Australia and Germany managed to be graded "A", and the USA was graded "B" even though arguably, they have equally compelling security concerns about transparency. Can we be a bit more transparent?

"It is interesting that every now and then, international publications such as Jane's Defence reviews make revelations about specific purchases of military hardware by the SAF, and yet we seem to survive the disclosure. Has the government closed its mind on the issue? Or is it studying how the MINDEF can move towards more oversight to minimise corruption risk?"

Mr Chan said: "Suppliers know that MINDEF has high expectations and that we drive a hard bargain when it comes to pricing. We have also been described as a "reference customer"- that means that when Singapore buys a platform, it sets a benchmark for cost effectiveness of that platform. We have studied the TI report in detail and will decide where more information can be released, so long as it does not compromise our security goals. We are confident that our current systems and processes to guard against corruption remain robust. Nevertheless, we will regularly view our processes to ensure that we remain corruption free."

I love all this big talk of ZERO TOLERANCE by the likes of the boy soldiers Kee Chiu and GRC Lead Minister Overtime Tan. Must have been reading the same old management books since they became ministers.

Well said Mr Chan. You certainly are PM material in the making.

But legalised corruption OK. Like paying astronomical salaries, bending rules in the book (eg AIM), and any other 'above board' ways to screw the opposition or even the citizenship (eg sneaking in 1 or 2 m FTs into the country)...thats OK.

Zero tolerance... So Ng boon Gay is corrupted or not? Charged but not guilty, yet loses job!

Corrupt or not, judge sentence... God know!

Agree.

In Singapore, to be PM, rule no.1 is to "can talk".

"Can do"/"Will do" or not is irrelevant

 

[@rmadill0]

Fully agree. Just look at NBG's case. A EMA can also be made into a corruption case. I think we do not just have zero tolerance, we have negative tolerance.

"Mouth talk, lampa song". when there is no transparency, you can say all you want, but that does not means it is true. It is stupid and naive to trust any politician just because they say so.

Many of the SAF suppliers are GLC. These GLC companies is not competitive in open market and cannot survive if there is no huge military spending to fund these uncompetitive companies to stay afloat. These so called profits are then paying many of the PAP appointed CEOs millions. No, there is no corruption, but the practice or system is corrupted.

Also, if there is no transparency in the bidding process and contract reward process, we won't know how many generals are receiving free blow-jobs and fuck sessions till someone spill the beans.

In my days, lost vehicles resold overseas as well as firearms that were supposed to be scrapped but its way elsewhere was normal talk in camp. So what is Kee Chiu talking about? Ivory tower with all the glittering money blinds the eyes.

Love it!
It says a lot and very meaningful...

In S'pore, only the cases hard to cover up listed as Corruption.
Those are just tip of the iceberg.
Once having free media and information disclosure rules, all hells will break loose.

It's either too difficult to cover up or got exposed ala Michael Pumpher.

Let put in more opposition MPs, then force them to disclose more info.
At least, we should get free media, something like Taiwan style.
Ha ha... Even ex-PM cannot escape...
Imagine what will happen if TW media style is here?

Yes, always try to cover up, but exposed by someone...
Imagine, we have free media style like Taiwan, all shits will come out...
Then, obedient SAF will take over... As said before by our beloved leader.

 

[iamhere]

we had long been a welfare state for papees n cronies where they first claim that
they should be paid XXX amount of $$$ if not, they would be better off in private sector or in biz themselves.

By "default", since we do not have enough opposition to veto all these "claims", these leeches at the first split second
when they are elected or "elected" thru walkovers, commit FUNDAMENTAL BREACH of what they claim.

They hold tonnes of appointments, directorships and/or in biz themselves.

Having more than one appointment does not give one more than 24hrs per calendar day...

Question remains: WHO did they neglect?

Shareholders of public listed companies?

(Public) Stakeholders of GLC or statutory boards?

or???


We had long been providing WELFARE STATE facilities for PAPees n CRONIES....


MY FELLOW SINGAPOREANS PLEASE...

REMEMBER to

VOTE papees OUT


do yrself, yr forefathers and yr generations to come, a favor, a service and a long-awaited justice
