YOG caterer acts on food

[denzuko1]

This is how our YOG committee & govt treat its own people, volunteers somemore, WHAT A SHAME! On the other hand, the foreign guests are treated with nutritious food as reported in the state media.

This is the result of not having the opportunity to vote????

I do a lot of volunteering for my temple, and the food there is much better than the YOG's. May be the volunteers should switch camps to help out at my temple.

5.5 millions contract for 7,000 athletes, officials and volunteers, that come up to a whopping $700+ for each person during these YOG period. This is worst than the old times army rice , which is consider bad. Well , so much for our first class hosting services .

Most temple foods are humble but humane, even abundant and delicious. For Buddhists and Taoists, much more worthwhile to volunteer at temples. In most cases, it's free food even if you just eat and don't volunteer anything. However, be humane too. Got money, donate money. Got energy, volunteer to help out something.

I have to strongly reiterate again. This is ridiculous.

For such a contract the meals would have been provided to the tenderer as part of the tender process. It is only standard practice to do so.

If the meals were not provided to the tenderer and yet this company received the award then something is definitely in the tender process - someone was not doing their job. The tenderer has to be taken to task.

If the meals were provided to the tenderer as part of the tender process and yet the meals were approved then the tenderer should be taken to task.

The meals provided is a major embarrassment to the country and an insult to Singaporeans.:oIo:

We all know it is actually a form of conscription and not real "volunteering" as such caterers have no obligation to provide anything decent. Especially since nobody gives a hoot about YOG were to find sponsors to provide anything decent? Even the fast food joints are staying clear!

The organisers know they can get away with it because the volunteers are singaporeans.

If the volunteers are made up of foreigners, YOG organisers will serve a 3 course meal.

Volunteer in Singlish and English have different meanings.

HALLO!!! IT IS SFI not TUNG LOK. The student volunteer now have first hand experience of what he will be eating when he begin is NS.
Ever since the renewal of SFI contract with the SAF, the food standard have been dropping with every year. When SFI first started doing catering to SAF in 1998, it was $7+ for lunch and dinner and $5+ for breakfast and $3+ for nite snack.
but i thinks after the 2003 SAR crisis, the renew contract had revisied the cost down. That the start of the horrible food again, in fact, during my last few ICTs, the men started grading the food as poor in the survey while they scan their ID before each meal. That throw the SFI into a panic and pressure the S4 which nobody give a shit. In fact many a time the SFI guy stand beside the survey machine to see who grade the food poor and got into a arguement with the troops who dont share his high opinion of food from SFI. Somehow it only in reservists that the troops dare to challange the authorities which they dont even dream of during NSF.
A bit surprise SFI is using plastic meal box which are non biodegradable when SAF had been using cardboard biodegradable meal boxes for ages.

 

[Ramseth]

What bio or cardboard boxes? I thought SAF and SPF use mess trays and mess tins, aluminium.

 

[sleaguepunter]

i dunno abt SPF but out ration for SAF use those biodegradeable meal box.

so can i assume u have not serve NS or ROD long time ago?

It's a good move to provide this kind of food to the volunteers. That way, next time round no food will be provided, since no food is better than bad food, thus forcing volunteers to provide their own meals. Of course there may be some grumbling, but in the end they will still be more than enough volunteers and much money would have been saved to spend on other areas.

 

[Cestbon]

Someone must have pocket the money. Total cost of the food will be less than 50cents.
Container cost about-5 cent
Rice - 5 cent
Vege/long been- 2 cent
Fish nugget- 20 cent
Labour,electricity,gas - 20 cent
Bottle/new water drink 20 cent
Small slice of fruit- 20 cent
Total cost less than 67 cents but the food vendor charge at least $5/head/meal
Where another $4.33 missing?
Let say profit $1
Another $3.33 is missing- someone must have pocket the money or pay undertable money for the contract.
No wonder over budget more than 3 times.

nothing wrong .

Dog food for Sinkee dogs.

Those fast food joint are staying away because they know they will benefit with these type of shity food served indirectly

Anyone notice the volume of NSF boys at lunch/dinner time at Marina Square. McDonald is the ultimate winner ever since the rehearsal started for NDP & YOG.

last time tekong cookhouse served me old saggy yellow veg with stones n nails plus chicken patti so tough n hard i broke my molar.
went to see dental MO for extraction kana charged for chow keng.
awarded 2 weekends burnt plus guard duties.

 

[Ramseth]

You all don't anyhow say. I ate both police academy and army cookhouse foods before. Drumsticks, wings, meats, veggies, eggs, eat until you happy. Those were cookhouse days, not even SFI catering yet. Not 5-star culinary delicious standards of course, but plentiful, palatable and nutritious. If not for the training, one most likely to grow fat with those foods. The YOG foods are a disgrace. I think Japanese WW2 POW camps served better.

 

[Airlib]

Esp when Minister & his cronies are paid so much salaries!!! Why no spefication relating to meal tender? You mean serve lice, cow grass and cockroach oso can??? Sounds like "catch me if you can" or "tell me if things go wrong"....... or the now infamous: NO amount of engineering can solve flooding!!!!!!!!

No point having what tender specification lah... Its either SFI or NTUC Foodfare... Still end up left pocket or right pocket...
