Wind30 Turbocharged December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 (edited) This is really bad.... http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1244331/1/.html even channelnewsasia reported the story. Bottomline is PAP Town councils SOLD their computer system for $140000 to aim and promised to Pay Aim a Monthly Fee of $785 per town council to use their software. There are so many red flags that I am really worried for Singapore 1) There is only ONE BIDDER in the entire tender, Quote from CNA "Dr Teo said although five companies collected the tender agreement, the sole bid was submitted by AIM, a company fully owned by the P A P. " 2) sold for $140 000? what are they smoking? how much did they spend to develop that software? My brother has a startup that makes encryption software for cloud computing and I tell you, $140k is not going last very long. 3) $785 monthly fee per TC? with 14 PAP TCs that works out to $131880 a year! Sold their software for $140k and lease it back at $132k a year??? This is totally ridiculous. 4) How many Employees does Aim has? What is their contact number? They don't even have an address. Did they do ANYTHING at all? This is really bad... if PAP does not get to the bottom of this....

They sell it to their own and then lease it back to earn money. AIM operated out of a virtual office. They don't need any staff or tools as everything is at the TCs. Even the biggest fool can see what is going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celicar Turbocharged December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 Can wholly-owned company of PAP bid on an open tender called by PAP? Isn't that making the market? Then what's stopping X number of wholly-owned companies of PAP participating in the bid and then declaring that the minimum number of bidders (X number) has been satisfied?

EricTeh Neutral Newbie December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 AIM only owns the rights to the software, so all computer hardware belong to the respective TCs and these remained with AHTC when its contract with AIM ended. walau self pawn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw the news where just briefly mentioned like no big deal, just report for the sake of reporting This only served to inform the PAP to be more careful in their future "dealings".

Ender Hypersonic December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 (edited) My personal opinion is that this is corruption at the highest level. Clean government? Load of bull. This may not even be corruption. It's could be a scam to leech conservancy charges. CAD should be involve instead. Thanks to Sylvia Lim for asking the right questions and netizens to dig out the dirty details. Too big to cover until no minister dare to talk about it. As I said before in the other thread, this really stink lah, if no one from PAP can explain to us convincely.

The highest level salary so high, why would they want to risk it with this questionable 'profit'. Then there will be more question marks - Is the highest level going to do anything about it? If not, does it mean what AIM did was acceptable? If yes, will there be punishments? If no punishments, why? Anyway, my guess is that this issue will be swept under the carpet.
