No wonder sgp is always clean, no need to check own backyard, sweep under that corrupted carpet…
hypothetically:
Najib: I failed to learn it up🥲
Jho Low as a key witness in my case but he also not available; how can the court charge me?
actually Najib plays a tactic there as he was misled by Jho Low about the case, but the prosecutor gather sufficient evidence from the paper to substantiate Najib's beyond reasonable doubt of corruption in 1MDB case without testimony from Jho Low.
Sadly but smartly Jho low alr ahead of NAJIB. He is smart to fly to this PARTICULAR county that doesn't have any relation with MALAYSIA and he so called (CONTRIBUTED) to that country and gain himself some sort of IMMUNITY there.. thats why even court wanted to issue a court order for him to fly back, wont work.. i came across a documentary bout jho low. Forgot which country hes currently at
Are we so stupid? If no corruption, why pay $422mil to US probe? Please answer this question.
Why pay fine in us if not guilty? If is guilty why can't prosecute in singapore? I am confused.
That is the whole point. To confuse.
In some legal settlement, one party will pay but it will state that such settlement is not an admission of wrong doing. This is one way of settlement.
@@CrosbyStillthen, why pay?
@@CrosbyStill 胡言乱语.
Im not a lawyer but from my experience there were settlement between 2 companies n some money were paid to the plaintiff but on the condition its not an admission of liability. I cant explain further why is it so...but maybe its a way to protect themselves from further legal actions against them. As to why cant prosecute further in Spore, I am confuse too but I think they are protected ...this isnt the first case involving Keppel. In the 90s they were also involved in bribing an oil major superintendent. About 4 Keppel seniors involved were not prosecuted n Keppel just sent them overseas offices until the issue died down. Not fair right??
Singapore is not so squeaky clean after all
They only will tell you what they want to tell you otherwise... act blur
They are guilty.That's the fact it is clear cut.Double standard at it's best.
Just bloody do a COI and grill those 6 invole like how you guys grill wp on someone who lied in parliament.
That's why if got minister in companies like grab IS a conflict of interest.
If LKY is still around there won't be a debate. If statements are made in courts overseas (albeit a plea bargain), it (1) shouldn't include Singapore's court in the deal (2) Why can't our court summon them to take an oath legally. Can suspects actually reject to testify in court? Let's keep the same energy we use for silencing opposition viewpoints when we deal with this. Corruption is the number 1 pillar LKY built this nation on, PAP or not.
We're seeing his legacy being dismantled brick by brick - 富不过三代
Thats why,, im thinking what she said that,since that foreign witness currently is in US,he can boldly rejects by not "VOLUNTARILY GIVING EVIDENCE" uh??? but US & SG is long time ALLY right?? SG High court able to PRODUCED black & white for this fellow to FLY in to ✌️HELP in an INVESTIGATION✌️RIGHT?? Hmm.. i think someone alr asked him to quickly fly to US. Maybe really have some kind of "IMMUNITY" whoever that someone is, he or they knws that this foreign guy's name will come afloat.. i dono man.. politics.. 🤷♂️
Why don't wayang charge these 6 ,make them pay a 'fine' and case closed...no question asked...why?
Cos obviously one name popped up and could be implicated?😆😆😆
The government is trying their best to cover up n closed the matter. By right all involved should be brought to justice so that the top person involved will surface.
This bribery case is a case that forwards Singapore's interest. It does not benefit individuals. Bribe given is to get more business for Temasak. In some cultures, if you don't bribe, you don't get business.
@@noproblematallmate Even so that these individuals' actions did not benefit themselves but by condoning the manner in which you conduct business at this high level it reflects the culture and integrity of the country as a whole. We are not in a situation where our existential existence has been threaten or that we are so desperate that we cannot feed our own citizens that we need to compromise our values and principles to commit such acts. The motives of these actions are greed and lust for money. If no action is taken in this case, this will set the precedence of the future things to come. But never you mind, we can always prosecute and punish crimes of even less malice and money taken. (Do but you got caught big time)
They do wrong they cover and sweep everything under the carpet because they are the ruling party. They have misued the mandate that the people has given to them. If they do not have the 2/3 majority, do they have the power to sweep everything under the carpet? Need to bring these 2 rats to justice and to give Singaporeans an accountability.
The problem is there is no proper documents to support than why we pay penalty in US court ?
Exactly, if this payment is not made, would US court go all the way to showcase all the evidences?
Probably SG need to legalized the corruption like US did. For political fund donation on behalf of corruption.
Lies
What is the point of trying to protect the high profile wrong doers when it will only highlight your incompetency? Such a dissapointment.
I respect the respectful manner in which the minister and Worker’s Party MPs carried out their Q&A. It’s much better than some old guard ministers who try to belittle and brush away legitimate questions from the opposition (who are representing Singaporeans to perform checks and balances on the government). Well done, Indranee!
It's a very positive development
the reply was a little less aggressive than her other previous performances in many other appearances in dealing with opposition MPs. My personal opinion is that in this exchange i think she must also have been a little worried that actually what the opposition is pushing for and ie that there is a feeling that the CPIB and the government could pursue the case more vigorously, has credibility
Thank you oppositions for making Singapore Great Again.
Regardless why the corruption happened, the only reason these 6 executives are not prosecuted is because they are taking instructions from higher management in this whole corruption matter.
If a corrupted country can put the corrupted man behind bars, why an uncorrupted government cannot put the corrupted man behind bars?
Because you are not my Brother (GCT)
Well, the reason why SG had an uncorrupted gahmen is because they legalized their corruption. Always remember, it is legal for the SG gahmen to siphon money from you. But when you are super rich and wealthy, you need to justify and declare where your wealth came from. But when the gahmen gain astronomical figure of wealth from their investment returns, they do not need to declare their wealth. Worst still, they take your CPF go invest to earn billions of dollars to pay for their salaries and now the capital also don't want to return to you. Keep on citing ageing population and rising healthcare as an excuse to procrastinate CPF withdrawal age until the day you step inside the coffin.
Bird of the same feather flock together, that’s why!
If you don't give bribe in Brazil, you don't get business. So you keep your principles and don't do business in Brazil while every other countries profit there?
We just suay kana caught. Next time won't get caught again.
She is in power for far too long she has become arrogant she thinks she could get away from lying in front of Singaporeans. Karma is visting her soon.
Singapore cannot condone to corruption but likewise Singaporeans know that corruption grease the wheels to turn for them.
If I try to understand the captured ~ these 6 persons “out smart” of CPIB. Then CPIB staff r incompetent n a review/re-structure is a must bearing this weakness.
We voted them to improve our lifes. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, Not their own lifes .
Corrupted answers from minister!!!
Keppel O&M agreed in 2017 to pay $422 million to end a U.S. probe into illegal payments to officials of Brazil's state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA. Keppel's US unit pleaded guilty while the Singapore-based parent entered into a deferred-prosecution agreement with the US government.
I looked through the above repeatedly but still couldn't figure out the logic as explained by our minister, maybe I am too old already.
CPIB should being the the Keppel O&M people who authorized the payment. $422mil sure needs Board approval, and responsibility to shareholders. Debating this in Parliament with Indranee is a waste of time. Invite the CPIB Director to come out and explain...
This is a good example of sharp at bottom but blunt at top. The top is like an endangered species.
Singapore had drop the rate because she not handle well.
So CPIB ,contrary to international charges, finds that there are not enough evident to even investigate?
Can she explain why certain ministers and so called ‘mayors’ are paid such a high sum of salary? In my opinion, that’s indirect corruption. Their work for a small country like Singapore is paid higher than other bigger countries. Is that fair?
Ai yah No neex to ask lah...Of course insufficient evidence mah !!! 😂
Keppel … CPIB …Court ..Cabinets all from same pay scale source 😂
This wayang is very sensitive as it goes way higher then we think. This is why Singapore needs to reopen this case n get to the very bottom, as we have bigger fish to fry!
Get to the bottom or the top ? ;)
This is call Cross swords?? This is a very civilised questioning pls...
Meaning an uncorrupted government cannot punish corrupted people because of the laws made by its institution???
Whether evidence in US Courts are admissible in Singapore Courts?
Who the hell can do international trade in third-world countries without some form of "kopi" lui? Grow up la, naive Singaporeans. You either do it cleanly through a proxy agent or get caught doing it sloppily. It's a norm in that industry.
Whatever it is Keppel ended up making a lost after the penalty. People are stupid thinking that that is the only way to make profit without getting caught. It is only a matter of time the criminal offence is exposed.
Your mother cb lah james.
Yes, to do business kopi lui in such countries, are part and parcel but they cannot prosecute ppl outside their jurisdiction but definitely can do so for these 6 local executives. So it is not what witness they had no excess to, as she was referring but from her stammering, you can tell SHE IS TELLING A LIE!
Obviously someone would be implicated if these 6 or any one of them spill the beans....NOW WHO IS THAT SOMEONE?😆😆😆
@@kengleetan63 Because usually kopi lui is likely paid through proxy agent. You pay consultancy fee to a local established business agent. You know implicitly that the agent will distribute some to the "destination", but you won't ask too much about how this is done. All you need to do is swee swee procurement paperwork covering up to the consultancy fee. How to find evidence tracing back to you? Btw, this is VERY common. The only reason this blows up is because someone along the "bribery" chain or maybe a competitor thought that he was losing out on the deals.
Just listen to PAP dont argue!
The problem is always no problem.
?? What is happening? Didn't manage to catch those were involved in this corruption case, or what??
In this case, corruption can be freely practice in Spore when it involves with foreign parties. Meaning, you are free to do corruption with foreigners and the law can't catch you.
"No witnesses".....can you believe this rubbish? Never underestimate our policing capabilities.....clearly someone is brushing dirt under the rug.........tsk tsk.....absolute power corrupts lah......
How about TCJ, being caught red handed with his unwanted remarks in parliament against the opposition?
Also case closed with no actions?????
Resigned already lah......
brazil what kind of country? if like that most singapore companies operate in overseas must go to jail.
You can ger an answer from Brazil's CPIB and bring corrupt officials to Singapore High court. Birds of a feather flock together. Is 442m fine and plus another 88m share among 3 parties, US, Brazil and Singapore? 🤔
SO LONG TO CHECK..OR GOT CHECK OR NOT..
Means what ? Cpib won't do their job ?
Vote Workers' Party 2025 🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
is this what you called double standards?
i remember once a person returns from Amsterdam, tested positive for cannabis and was charged.
so these people plead guilty overseas, isn't this evidence?
sg is finish if we dont support the good ppl who defend singapore from bribery.
Shameful to our justice system.
Mere cover up.
look more like kingdomgarden playground ! i salute the WP mps! 😮😊
CPIB investigates “anything deemed corrupt” under the instruction of the PM office. And you are in the office, right?
Wow ! 👏👏👏
Wat a statement 👍👍👍
So simple when argue non-stop🤬pay under table $$$ then can charge for bribery already😡
its all abt arm muscle. law is for the one in/has power to MANAGE the one who has none.
Probably she is the main now on Keppel is it indranee
Pap corrupt(?)
always the same tactics.
side track n divert the question n put all attention on certain words n then ignore the whole issue. covered n buried.
100%cover up so singaporeans must k now what kind of fake report this foolish house leader is talking about. By right shuld be kicked out of parliament. Its the citizens right to be told the truth.
Our government is SO USELESS!!!!
Later she slam the book again😂
Indrianee cannot make it la
Stay mad clown.
She is nato, no action talk only.
Is the braizailian frozen chicken still safe to eat? I have one in my freezer now!
Playing with words and try to cover up
Simple la... Get those six involved undergo polygraph machine tests (lie detector)... At least can get some truth and start investigation even without evidence...😆😆😆
Cover it
If you have make a mistake, just admit it. lesson learnt. Recruit smart people not those retired general or relative/friend for the job. And stop wasting time twist and turn! Your time is public money, so stop wasting public money!
@vtntan:DONT BE A COWARD!!NAME N PROSECUTE THE ONE KOM FOUND GUILTY..DONT WANT TO HEAR EXCUSES..0 TOLERANCE2CORRUPTION........
If we can be factual, on top of covering for lapses, exp HYFLUX, KEPPEL etc
Corruption
All are french connection
Power attracts the corruptible.
Suspect any who
Seek it.
If you cant answer for Keppel..then sit down lah..noisy
Like Sergeant Schultz of Hogan's Heroes, "I know nothing!" 😂😂😂
Maturity of tiny nation .."in fishing boat all have to row the boat whereas in a aircraft carrier we get do lot of other things"..Biscuit king will remembered as flamboyant business in Cluny gatherings ..sadly he died in a prison in kerela..so only need know basis,top secret,totally classified, top top top secret..CPIB was stellar org until the fallout..
Good
Parliament is not a court of law. It has its own regulations which each n every MP must follow at all time.
`.....I donot know``` why you are paid so high in salary
WP don't question their own corruption?
Those who attend the Parliament sitting plse dial your hair black. I don't like to see old MPs in parliament 😃😃😃....... Cheer
scary mdm face! 😮😅
order !!!😂
🐓 and 🐂 stories all the way....
indranee is so calm when answering queries....amazing
Or de r
The worker party queries are important and timely ! This is called constructive opposition. Indranee is arrogant as hell. The vibes she gives off is just up the roof arrogance
snake
We Singaporeans nos in any government run companies in Singapore run by pap government such SIA and etc etc .The appointment made by pap government who have close relationships with that person in someway before he or she given the opportunity for the job. So now pap government telling in parliament that she can't speak for Keppel board of directors. Wow great news. Pse sister grow up today Singaporeans are well educated better than you. Just look yourself in mirror and ask what you did in parliament ever your MHF ministry have to give way for you to speak. Can leader of parliament give a good explanation to Singaporeans or eat more money as a puppy only shake the tail. Wow great we tell the world that Singapore living first world standard and yet we born Singaporeans living as third class citizens in our own country. Why because our present pap government loves PR foreigners and also take over our jobs and small business. Think 2025 or maybe early 2024 election vote in good oppositions into parliament. For our future generations to come. Thank you
Bye Bye to more votes
I like elites and their tongues
Those who keep wanting the culprits to be punished even though there is insufficient evidence are simply narrow, shallow, brainless and hopeless.
Why don't you say that the CPIB is incompetent.
50 cents are not welcome here.
@@clcheong6320 dont stupid la then many sg tourists who visited nearby countries must be prosecuted. brazil what kind of country?
Why another one executive who is also US citizen being charged in US and waiting for sentencing?
Only US able to gather evidence?
Indranee carry herself so well! She's a right fit!
She is very good. She helps alot of vulnerable
Zzzzz
Pritam Singh and friends also never admit to lying in parliament.
huh ???
善恶到头终有报。所谓人在作天在看，时晨未到纵然走遍天涯海角，来生后世都会落网，而且要还千万亿倍利息😅😅😅😅
