Wow, OBS was embroiled in another "incident" 5 years ago.

Leaked chat logs and other documents reportedly appear to show one of Singapore’s richest men, Ong Beng Seng, offering luxury hotel rooms to the president and former vice president.

The hotel tycoon, who runs a number of Maldives resorts, did so at a time when he and his company, Hotel Properties Limited (HPL), were seeking islands in the Maldives.

Shortly afterwards, Ong sealed a deal for two uninhabited islands without public tender, one for $5m and one for free, the report says.

At the time of publication, neither the billionaire nor the president had responded to the researchers’ request for comment.

However, the president discussed the issues at an election debate, saying the issue was in the past, and variously blaming the former vice president, the central bank, commercial banks and “the system” for the failings.

...

Under Maldives law, uninhabited islands are managed by the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture. In order to lease them out for development, Adeeb routinely sought — and received — orders from the president to bring the islands under the Tourism Ministry that Adeeb led, according to the official.

“For 90 percent of the islands, I can say [Adeeb] wrote to the president’s office and requested the president hand those islands over to the tourism ministry,” he said.

“Obviously the president knew.”

According to the OCCRP, messages from Adeeb’s phone show the president knew about at least one MMPRC island deal from its outset. On June 30, 2014, Yameen messaged the tourism minister to ask about Mathiveri Finolhu, an island in the Alif Alif Atoll. Seven minutes later, Adeeb replied: “Today will Hand over sir, sorry for the delay.”

Adeeb’s phone messages also show that Yameen apparently had at least one meeting with Ong Beng Seng, the Singaporean hotelier. Ong’s company received two island leases shortly after.

In Malaysia, all Han businessmen have to bribe whoever has the power to issue license, permit, or to expedite processes.  Over there, it is not considered a vice but a necessary cost of doing business.

Based on your logic, Najib is not guilty lor! 

[wendychan]

1)arrested
2)post bail
3)travel out of singapore

4)then soikesperson say on return will surrender passport?

CPIB bows to him or vice versa?

The whatsapp posted in HWZ make sense if true. I was already wondering at first when it was announced why SG renewed F1 for 7 years at one shot instead of 3 years or 5 years.

Yes now it makes sense why it was renewed for 7 LONG YEARS (and OBS only had to pay a small bribe offer some goodies)
And these 7 LONG YEARS going to COST Singapore how much of the PUBLIC'S  TAXPAYERS' MONIES?
Iswalan should be locked up and key thrown away for good measure!

On surface SG bring in F1 is to showcase SG make SG more better known to the world , also boast tourism For so call " Country purpose , GDP , economics "

Backend how it go , is another story. I already feel suspicious that F1 don't wish to renew contract in fact but later continue renew.
