<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->THE Auditor-General has chided civil servants for being sloppy in their management of public funds.
He accuses them of tending to opt for what is convenient administratively over financial prudence and being lax in enforcing penalities and other contractual rights.
They are also too ready in accepting the recommendations of consultants.
One government agency whose slip-ups are particularly costly is the Media Development Authority (MDA), which regulates the media and public service broadcast programmes.
Its lapses, which filled nine pages of a 40-page report released by the Auditor-General yesterday, include failing to to collect an estimated $9.89 million in revenue. The sum is from 46 films it had invested in and which had been screened, some as long ago as 4-1/2 years.
Such shortcomings in contract management and in the procurement of goods and services form a significant portion of the lapses uncovered in the yearly audit of government agencies, Auditor-General Lim Soo Ping said in his latest report. The findings are for the financial year up to March 31 this year.
Mr Lim blames the lapses partly on officers who are 'inclined towards administrative convenience with financial prudence taking a back seat'.
Also, some officers are too ready to accept at face value the recommendations of consultants, without giving enough thought to the financial implications.
'A small dose of scepticism is always helpful,' he said. 'Many lapses can be avoided if the approving authorities are more rigorous in their scrutiny and ask the pertinent, if inconvenient, questions,' he said.
The agencies have promised the Auditor-General to tighten their processes.

I heard on the radio also they recommend an overview of how schools pay for their cleaning contractors, stating "can save 15million a year if they acquire cleaning contractors at below market rates." Well done PAP

So that contractors who want to continue to drive BMW, own 2 bungalows, have 6 holidays a year in USA, Europe, will now sack the $900 a month uncle and aunties to hire banglas at $300 a month with the gahmen saying "Singaporeans are picky".

Well done.

At least we havent seen someone paying $200 for a hammer or claim public funds to watch porn............................yet!!!

Seriously this shouldnt come as a surprise, most civil servants you have to work with will always choose the way which requires the least amount of work as long as the cost is still reasonable/justifiable. We all know civils servants are lazy.

Add...some 'evil servant' taking very long leave from work, on a paid cooking course in fine French cooking..( of cource paid by the wife)...no body bloody ask, why, he is allowed to take long leave...and we got scolded as being envious lesser mortals...

But...the 66.6% agree that SINgaporeans are picky, even a $900 job they would not take up, and the shitty times, from time to time, 'fark' the SINgaporeans for not taking up jobs, like bus captains...and what nots...that is why they have to hire workers from PRC, Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Kampucea, Bangladesh...India..etc

for SINgaporeans are picky!....or the 66.6% have no pricks!
