SINGAPORE — Singapore has never stayed neutral and will always take a position on policies or international issues, said Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong at a conference on May 22. Among the thorniest of those issues are the trade tensions between the US and China, but as contentious as the issue is, Singapore cannot stay permanently on the sidelines, he added. «We do take positions. The only difference is that we take positions not because you are the US or because you are China,» he said, noting that Singapore will take a stance based on what is in its best interests, for the country and citizens. DPM Gan, who is also the Trade and Industry Minister, added that Singapore values doing business with the US and with China, and both countries know its position. However, it is becoming «increasingly difficult and challenging» to «find a way that will be comfortable for both sides». The May 12 deal — where the US and China agreed to suspend part of their tariffs on each other's goods for 90 days — may provide a temporary reprieve, but questions remain over what happens when the truce ends.
Two engineering and construction contractors have been fined over $4.6 million collectively for rigging bids in tender exercises for the upgrading of three community clubs. Trust-Build Engineering & Construction was slapped with a penalty of $4,295,059, and Hunan Fengtian Construction Group fined $349,350. The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) said on Friday (May 23) the two firms had rigged three tenders called by the People's Association (PA) in August and September 2022 for construction and major upgrading works at Bukit Batok, Cheng San and Eunos Community Clubs. The works involved pilling and finishing, scaffolding, installation of doors and windows. Each affected tender was valued at between $17 million and $21 million, and the three had a value of about $56 million in total. At the time when the PA called for bids, Hunan Fengtian and Trust-Build were registered with the Building & Construction Authority to undertake high-value contracts of up to $50 million for the former and $105 million for the latter.
