In an interview over Astro Awani on May 5, Tan spoke on behalf of the union for its opposition to the National School Walkout Day (NSWD).
Tan noted that NSWD was being unfair to all 450,000 teachers nationwide by projecting the image of teachers “lurking around and harming students” and “waiting to make and crack jokes about rape”.
Fight back against the cartel culture One of 14 individual linked with ‘Nicky Gang’ – Bernama
The news in early April this year regarding the existence of a cartel/syndicate that had been monopolising government procurement contracts is yet again a grim reminder of how deeply rooted the culture of corruption is in our society.
The modus operandi of the cartel was to deploy some 150 companies under its control as cover for submitting tender bids to ministries and agencies.
In other words, the sheer number of companies submitting the bids gave the illusion of unrelated bidders.
