Mine were certainly not greased. John Tan's company doesn't need to grease any palms to win public tenders. We win base on the quality of our work and competitive prices.

SINGAPORE — The share price of the holding company for Or Kim Peow (OKP) Contractors — which bagged the contract for the construction of the Upper Changi Road East viaduct that collapsed last Friday — continued to tumble yesterday, wiping off about S$18.5 million from the market value of the firm since the accident.
Hours after the pre-dawn accident last Friday, which killed one worker and injured 10 others, OKP Holdings group managing director Or Toh Wat submitted a request for a trading halt of its shares on the Singapore Exchange.
By the time trading was halted, the shares had already fallen 8.1 per cent to 39.5 cents each.
When trading resumed yesterday, the shares opened sharply lower at 35.5 cents and continued to fall to an intraday low of 34 cents, representing a near 14 per cent slump. However, they clawed back some of the losses to close at 37 cents, or a decline of 6.3 per cent.
That gave it a market capitalisation of just over S$114 million.
At about 3.30am on Friday, OKP Contractors had been performing works to cast the decking for the new viaduct when a section between two piers collapsed.
The company had snagged the tender for the project in 2015 with a bid of S$94.6 million. Just three days before the collapse, OKP Contractors was convicted and fined for separate workplace safety lapses and a worker’s death in 2015.
The Ministry of Manpower had also blacklisted the firm between January and April this year.
The company and its safety coordinator and site supervisor, Victor Tan Kok Peng, were fined S$250,000 and S$12,000 respectively for the 2015 accident, in which four workers plunged 6.4 metres to the ground as the section of the working platform they were standing on under Yio Chu Kang Flyover dislodged. One worker died and the other three suffered fractures and contusions. KENNETH CHENG

THERE was criminal trial in Nicoll Highway.
Four men faced criminal charges in the wake of the Nicoll Highway Collapse.
The first man put on trial was Ng Seng Yoong who was a project director of the Circle MRT Line and also monitored the excavation and design work in his other capacity as the Qualified Person on the site. He faced one charge of breaching conditions under the Building Control Act. Arguments were made that readings of instruments on site have indicated that things were not going as planned, but the warnings were not acted upon.[1] On 24 November 2005, Ng was fined $8,000 (SGD) by the court.[2]

SINGAPORE- The condition of one of the workers injured in the collapse of an uncompleted highway viaduct has taken a turn for the worse.
In a statement on Thursday (July 20) evening, a spokesman for Or Kim Peow Contractors (OKP), the main contractor of the worksite, said that Chinese national Gao Liqin, 49, was currently undergoing surgery after his condition worsened earlier in the day.
Mr Gao, who had been in the intensive care unit (ICU) since the July 14 incident, is employed by Tongda Construction and Engineering, a sub-contractor on the project to build a viaduct near the Pan-Island Expressway

Concrete samples from collapsed PIE worksite being sent for testing
Investigations into the collapse of an uncompleted viaduct began on Tuesday (July 18) as workers collected concrete samples of the failed structure for analysis by the authorities.
The Straits Times understands the samples were required by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), which is looking into why the corbels – angular structures built to support heavy loads – on the raised highway in Changi gave way at about 3.30am last Friday.
The analysis will determine, among other things, the quality of the mixture, and that it met design specifications. A lower quality concrete could be weaker than designed, and could indicate that contractors or suppliers cut corners.
Workers could be seen on Tuesday afternoon using drilling equipment at both ends of the viaduct structure where the failed corbels are located.
The BCA was unavailable for comment, while employees of Or Kim Peow – the contractor that teamed up with CPG, the corporatised entity of the former Public Works Department to secure the viaduct project with the lowest bid of $94.6 million – declined to talk to the press.
Asked why it awarded the contract to a contractor that was, at the time, being investigated for an earlier work site fatality case, the Land Transport Authority reiterated that its tender process took into account “many quality aspects”, including “track record”.
In Friday’s collapse, which killed one worker and injured 10 others – of whom two are critically injured, preliminary findings pointed to failed corbels as the cause.

PIE work site accident: Cracks found in corbels at 11 other parts of viaduct
SINGAPORE: Cracks were found in the areas supporting 11 other parts of the uncompleted viaduct that collapsed on Jul 14, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Friday (Jul 21).
Authorities are currently investigating the nature and cause of these cracks, it said, in an update on a multi-agency probe into the root cause of the collapse.
Preliminary investigations earlier indicated that corbels – brackets that help support beams – had given way.
In its update, LTA said that cracks were discovered at the "corbel area at 11 locations" of the viaduct, which leads to the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).
Agencies are currently investigating the nature and cause of these cracks, it said, adding that the site has been hoarded up for the public’s safety, and to facilitate recovery work and investigation.
The beams of the viaduct are being supported as a precautionary measure, LTA said.
Following the collapse, "the Qualified Person (Design) from the project company ... immediately inspected the structural integrity of the remaining six spans of viaduct at this location, and assessed it to be safe with propping erected to the beams adjacent to the collapsed span," it said.
LTA added that, as a further precaution, the "propping" was extended to all the remaining spans where cracks were discovered.
As of Friday, six of the 10 workers who were injured in the collapse were still warded at Changi General Hospital.
"Together with Or Kim Peow, the project contractor, LTA and MOM (Ministry of Manpower) officers will continue to provide the necessary support to the affected workers and their families," LTA said.

as you can see from the link below, there are several old cracks and none of them were discovered and reported by Or Kim Peow.

SINGAPORE -The consultant who designed the Pan-Island Expressway viaduct that collapsed on July 14 was also the supervisor who checked the construction works, The Straits Times has learnt.
While industry experts say it is neither uncommon nor illegal for the same person to hold two roles, several add that they hope the authorities would review this arrangement as it might pose a conflict of interest.
A spokesman for CPG Consultants, a subcontractor to main employer Or Kim Peow (OKP) Contractors in building the viaduct, told The Straits Times that the qualified person (QP) is Dr Robert Arianto Tjandra.

At least here you can see the name i.e Robert Arianto Tjandra - unlike in the SGH hepatitis scandal where 25 were affected and 8 died.
Although 4 MOH and 12 SG staff were "disciplined" -nobody was charged/sacked or even named.
http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/4-moh-and-12-sgh-senior-employees-disciplined-hep-c-outbreak
They only revealed the name as LTA tender documents showed it ?-
So under the no blame ,oneself clear oneself culture of the pappy, lets move on ?-but not before those who dare to criticise them will be asked to build their own roads-like Khaw asking reporters to run SMRT instead ?
So we now know the directions they are heading-anyone complain against PAP means you have to do it yourselves!-so we pay ministers million dollar salaries for what?
