曾有高层涉行贿、报假账 新科海事仍能参与政府招标?

2017年,包括前财务总监王德莲等六名新科海事(ST Marine)高层,因2014年爆发的贪污丑闻而被定罪。 在此案件中,王德莲承认10项做假账控状,被罚款30万元。 他被指控与四名高层共谋,贿赂新科海事的客户员工,以确保能成功拿下客户订单。 案情显示,新科海事向客户的职员行贿以取得生意是当时一贯做法,公司高层批准这样的行为。 根据公司记录,在2000年至2011年间支付的贿金,已超过2千490万元。贿金以应酬费用零用现金(petty cash)的名目下支付,为该公司争取修理船只的工程合约。 王德莲在2007年4月加入新科海事担任集团财务总监,直到2012年12月退休为止。他上任七个月后,被指示签发一叠现金支票,为“应酬费”付账。 她发现所谓的应酬费没有相关收据证明,于是向财务部职员了解,才得知所谓“应酬费”,是为公司获取订单而支付的“现金佣金”。尽管已知情,他照签不误。 而他所属的财务部甚至有指示员工,在报假账时如何避免被发现。 新科海事是新科工程的子公司。该公司因这数名高层行径陷入丑闻,涉事高层也在法庭被判刑。 国防科技局反贪政策–“对操纵招标勾当零容忍”…

曾推托“需求不高” 惟总理国会演说却能直播

回溯2017年,曾有议员呼吁,国会会议应直播,惟时任通讯及新闻部兼卫生部政务部长徐芳达,声称国会辩论网络直播的需求“少之又少”。 国会领袖傅海燕的新闻秘书也声称,直播国会议事不一定能增加透明度,反而可能让国会变相成了“表演舞台”。 尽管上届国会,不少议员再次敦促此事,惟国会领袖傅海燕仍推托,民众目前仍能以现有的方式,“即时、方便地”获取国会议事内容。 不过,总理李显龙却可以在昨日(9月2日)下午,进行国会演说直播,阐述他对冠病疫情危机和当前经济挑战的看法。这是否意味着,只要有足够意愿,国会直播是可行的? 事实上,全球多达94个国家,都有能力进行国会直播,这还不仅仅是那些欧美大国,即便东南亚国家如邻国马来西亚、印尼、泰国、菲律宾等,都有进行国会或议院直播!
