Alstom near US$700m US settlement in bribery case
- Thread starter krafty
- Start date
You worked in the railway industry? Alstom Singapore also now finished liao.. No more projects for them for the new LTA downtown line projects..
That explains why Alstom kept getting the contracts for MRT construction projects.
More money for bribing = less money for quality = more breakdowns.
Finally, the pieces of the puzzle are slowly but surely falling into place.
Alstom was LTA's main trackworks contractor for the past 10 years.. They were given the tender in 2004 to do the trackworks for Circle Line, DTL 1 and DTL 2 projects.. For DTL 3 and Thomson Line projects, LTA gave it to a Taiwanese company..

To be fair back then Alstom paid our local workers involved in the LTA Circle Line, DTL 1 projects quite well.. The locals were given supervisory posts working inside tunnels..They were given good OT rates, 13 month bonus and end of project bonuses.. These locals were employed direct under Alstom S'pore branch management..
After that LTA fucktardly then decided not to give Alstom the tender for supplying local labour for their DTL 2 project.. That tender instead was given to a local Keling Kia labour supply company who profited alot by supplying LTA local workers for their DTL 2 project.. These locals were appointed Supervisors but were paid less than 2K a month.. Only their selected staff were given end of the year bonus.. Just imagine how much this Keling Kia labour supply company have profited by importing hundreds of Ah Neh labourers, Pinoy and S'porean tunnel supervisors for LTA DTL 2 and DTL 3 projects..

ya, i was in the consortium between Alstom and ST engr. working on the NE line, C752. ST pple are jealous pigs as i was the only local in the french team.
Alstom is not stupid. They know that if they want to do business in Spore or Indonesia you need to grease palms. It's all part of the culture of doing business in the 3rd world.
The question I have is how much did LKY & LHL get
Alstom is frog right?
French will do everything to further their own interest.
