WP people are living in self denial.
It is apparent that the way WP handled this issue is dishonest and the quotation has actually put more doubts on WP's management.
WP AHTC has emailed NEA about the scaffolding for the high rise cleaning and thus, there is no confusion or whatsoever about AHTC knew very well that it was supposed to clean the ceilings. The only confusion was created by NEA on who would provide the scaffolding. Thus, it is totally dishonest for WP to come back and claim that they were confused about Spring Cleaning or Annual Cleaning when they have already confirmed by email that they knew they were supposed to clean the ceiling. It was the worst reply that smart alec Pritam has given, claiming that AHTC has planned to clean the ceiling in Nov instead... if so, why send email to NEA to talk about scaffolding for high rise cleaning in the first place?
Just too bad, SL and LTK have to continue that dishonest line of argument. They thought that only by doing so they could get out of the ugly situation whereby their own staff went around telling hawkers ceiling cleaning wasn't included and they need to pay extra if they want it done... and on why their own contractor ATL sent that quotation to HA.
As I have said, it is apparent that nobody from HA asked for that quotation else ATL won't be sending that quotation BLINDLY to its EX-Chairman... they are just using old records of HA to send that quotation. ATL didn't specify who or which hawker asked them to send that quotation but just a very vague answer. Unlike Hawkers and NEA could straight away pin point Mr Tai, WP AHTC's property manager right away, of telling them they need to pay for high rise cleaning. The contrast is just too glaring; WP is dishonest and evasive in its statements, even their so call "investigation" but NEA and Hawkers are very precise and specific about their accusations.
Just too bad, WP people still living in denial and refused to look at all the facts objectively. Technically speaking, there are reasons to believe that there are grounds for PAP to initiate investigation process on this case if WP still thinks that it could just walk away like this. I will have my popcorn ready for a good show ahead.
