Dear Editior
Kelvin Ong ( ST 27 ) reminds me of a rougue contractor who refused to
rectify an awning he built for me againste specifications. He brazenly refused CASE interventions and sent us on wild goose chases - making appointments and did not turn up.
Having no choice I reported to the authorities including SPF, CAD, MOM and ACCRA. I discovered that this person registered and re-registered the same business/company thrice over the years with him as sole proprietor. Each time the company will have different business registration numbers. This is hidden from his clients anbeid stakeholder including his OCBC bank which allowed him to continue using his corporate bank account opened with the first company he has registered.
It is clear that he motive is to escape from client demands and litigation when the shoddy work he done is being pursued.
ACCRA told me he was fined but I am not told if he is still repeating the "offence" while SPH reluctantly advised me that he was interviewed but no action will be taken as it is deemed civil in nature. There was no response from CAD while the bank refused co operation as it considers the company albeit with invalid business registration number as bona fide.
I have also alerted MOM as he picks up his sub-cotractor and workers ever morning from Telok Kurau and Geylang never mind it the PRC worker is legal or otherwise. I have no feedback from MOM nor request for better particulars.
Should the public be protected from Kelvin Ong and this rogue contractor ( & Yang Yin ) using sham companies to further their dishonourable actions?
