Indranee Rajah on why Keppel ex-employees were not prosecuted in Petrobras corruption case
Six former senior management staff members of Keppel Offshore & Marine were not prosecuted over a multi-million dollar bribery case because there was insufficient evidence to establish their guilt beyond reasonable doubt, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah in Parliament on Monday (Feb 6). Instead, they received stern warnings.
Speaking in Parliament, Ms Indranee outlined the difficulties Singapore authorities faced in gathering evidence and getting potential key overseas witnesses to testify in Singapore. Read more: cna.asia/3HtGp68

This is why next GE we must reduce PAP majority seat in the parliament. So this case can be opened again and the name of the 6 executives will be revealed to the public.

It is the only way or the highway . Capitalism has always been the scrouge when bribery or Usury has existed as long as Nepotism and Extortions. Today we allow for FTA with corrupt countries as a means to prospers bilaterally ? Bilateral agreements have been superseded by multilateral trade agreements. Corporate companies become conglomerates ie Blue Chips corporations . Collaterals and Assets stripings when financial markets collapsed . Margin calls and liquidations will sent economic shocks to the developing world . Increase interest rates to reduce demand and inflations. Negative growth forecast arise from sanctions in capital markets, hostage to diminish global supply of energy and food grains cause by Russia war in Ukraine. Alternative food source and alternative energy supplies is necessary and vital for growth . SG has always frown upon corruptions,briberies ,money laundering,tax evasions and funding terrorism . Nick Leeson and Barrings Bank , UBS in Zurich and most recently FTX cryptocurrency . How do U arrest such Financial frauds when it predates 1927 financial crash and Hitler's rise to power and Germany's invasion of Europe? This is history telling nations to move on and accept the status quo . Sanctions and financial frauds is always a good reason to start a war . Financial crash of 2008 came and Civil war starts in Syria in 2011. The cycle of life is repeating because civilisations will prospers and built monument to honour their life and achievements . SG wants to glorify the city towards a new world full of opportunities and innovations. What else is there to do if life is a cycle of time and civilisations will grow and collaspe .

Many alleged offenders are offered fines like a ‘plea bargain’ because of insufficient evidence. The problem with pursuing the prosecution without sufficient evidence is that the end result may be no conviction. Meaning the suspects walk free and you can’t go back to imposing fines.

For the amounts involved, definitely there is a trail of approvals by individuals. How can there be a lack of evidence? Even if the approvers were not “aware” of the beneficiary, there has to be negligence in duty? Just a stern warning?
