I thought the whole point is NOT to have the columbarium at all as there was dispute on the brochure transparency?! <br /><br />Secondly, how could this be a mistaken identity as Khaw puts it. One is a for-profit org versus a not-for-profit org doing the tendering. Why would an officer be so reckless as to omit that mistake? When Khaw says Zhu YingTai has deceived everyone because no one has assumed a woman would show up, then is he implying that EPL is being deliberately deceitful in the tender process? What does EPL have to say? They can sue the gov for not honoring the contract after awarding it, and are they accepting the implication that they are deceiving the authority in this process? <br /><br />If one party is being reckless in the due diligence, and the other party is being deceitful, then the whole tender should be called off. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-69579080180679696502015-01-30T21:23:55.919+08:002015-01-30T21:23:55.919+08:00//EPL still has the tender.

Note what Khaw said: "but we will find a way to restore this site to its original intent."<br />The operative word is "commercial" vis-a-vis "religious" columbarium. Don't be surprised if Khaw appoints a Buddhist priest as non-executive chairman to the EPL board. Hey presto, problem solved.<br />The other way is to set up a $2 company, with 2 Buddhist directors, each holding 1 share, and outsource the entire operation to EPL. Yup, exactly like A.I.M.

He is saying that he will try to find a solution to discuss with EPL to build a non-profit Chinese Temple instead. That means many things will happen behind the scene.<br /><br />The thrust of the people's concern has not be tackled. It has been circumvented. <br /><br />This tender, if allowed to proceed, will set a precedence for fund-rich profit-making commercial business organisations to compete against the non-profit religious organisations which are usually not fund-rich and registered under The Charities Act.<br /><br />If Khaw has admitted that this has been a mistake. He should rectify it by voiding the tender and call for another tender. He should not be so eager and persistent to carry on with procedding with this particular tenderer EPL.<br /><br />There are rumours that some big shots sons are sitting of the Board of EPL or its parent company Life Corporation. This we cannot confirm but can be verified by Khaw and his Ministry. <br /><br />We can only leave to MND to do due diligence into the background of the company concerned and if there appears to be some conflict of interests or uncomfortable connections going on, this should be stopped immediately.<br /><br />Paper cannot cover a bursting fire for long..<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464437967267943346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-14220535110305568602015-01-30T16:14:27.208+08:002015-01-30T16:14:27.208+08:00Lau Goh is a has been.
