COLLAPSED HIGHWAY CONTRACTOR SAVED ON MANPOWER BY OVERWORKING ITS STAFF
A netizen who has friends in OKP Holdings, the company responsible for the collapsed highway, revealed that the firm pays OT to its staff to encourage them to work longer hours.

Or Kim Peow Contractor is the firm responsible for building the highway along Upper Changi Rd, but what's interesting is, it is owned by OKP Holdings Pte Ltd, whose Chairman and Directors are grassroots leaders! Chairman Or Kim Peow is in Potong Pasir CCC and was awarded Public Service Awards a few times before.

All Touch ‘n Go card users, beware! To all Touch ‘n Go card users, please beware when you top up your Touch ‘n Go cards at exit counters at highway tolls. Clearly, the counter staff had the intention to cheat me and apparently had successfully cheated me of RM10. He told me the balance was RM19.70 and he only topped up RM20 to my card.
