MINDEF asked for delivery of pens ONE day & FIVE working days after close of tenders

[Confuseous]

MINDEF RECRUITMENT CENTRE

AGO observed lapses in two purchases of 5,000 pens each. The delivery times for both purchases were ONE and FIVE working days after the close of quotation.

For both purchases, the lowest bids were rejected on the basis that the bidders were not able to meet the specified dates for the penss WHICH WERE URGENTLY NEEDED. In each case, the second lowest bidder was awarded the quotation instead. The SAME supplier was the successful bidder for both purchases. THIS SUPPLIER had also been awareded earlier quotations by the centre for similar customised pens.

MINDEF informed AGO that there was NO intent to give unfair advantage to any supplier and that it would be more careful in the specification of delivery timeline in its quotations.

Silliporean serfs are truly world class baboons trained to lie through their teeth. Whatever they say now should not matter, some goondu is going to pay for this.

AGO reports to the President and Parliament, who will be responsible for questioning the various ministries. Let us hope WP will hoot some ministers jialat jialat, and prove that our multi-million dollar, super-scale civil serpents have been sitting on their asses all day in the comforts of their ivory towers courtesy of the 60.1 who voted for the lightning.

MINDEF is the most fucked up and inefficient govt organization of all. I have never seen so much incompetency and waste at all levels in any other organization.

Kickbacks pervade MINDEF; just dig into SFI and you'll see why the poor recruits get given lousy food.

The report was addressed to the President, who has not uttered a single word of assurance. Can someone checked that a copy has been delivered to the Istana?

these pens are of paramount importance to national security.

We're talking about pens here, simple and straight forward product. I wonder what goes around those more complicated ones like weapons. Maybe its too complicated for the AGO to audit.

IF AGO was serious about investigating this lapse, it shouldnt be too difficult for CPIB to trace the cash flow between the supplier and any related personnel involved in the tender. any potential conflict of interests can be easily discovered. if netzines can solve the brompton bikes case, let alone the CPIB if they truly wanted to.

simply put, they are choosing to close one and a half eyes for fear of stirring up a hornet's nest.

Now sure about this but I think as far as MINDEF is concern it's out of the Home Affairs league. Afterall CPIB reports to an ex-general directly so what can we expect, another Phamto Of the Opera.

Wonder why there was a severe shortage of pens? I thought it was 3 pens every quarterly, for each General....
