Dear Sir/Mdm,
With reference to my initial email, I have gathered more gray area pertaining to the accident at no.23 Tanjong Kling Road in the year 2007, after some good sanitarians had pointed out to me. Here are some of the questions :-
1. When the plant was under investigation the MOM suspended the site from all operations but the MPA still issued permits for the plant’s sea port contractor to perform de-slopping and tank cleaning jobs, and where did the contractor brought the waste to?
2. Did the MOM inform the MPA and NEA about the suspension to the plant ? If the MOM did, who in the MPA issued the permits for the contractor to perform their jobs? Is there a kind of ‘ special treatment ‘ just because they are a listed company? And where did all the waste go to?
3. And the most important question here is, where did the content in the tank that exploded go to?
I have called and enquired about it for a couple of years already and no departments or agencies have given me an answer until today. The findings by the SCDF had clearly shown that the content was a tank of ‘ waste oil ‘ and by law it must be incinerated but from my information it was exported out of our country. What if the rest of the world comes to know about such thing had happened in Singapore and maybe still happening, waste oil disguised as fuel oil and exported out of our country, it is a shame …!
I hope that all the Authorities or Agencies involved in that investigation could give me an answer if not then I have to open up this case maybe to the press or some professionals for their comments.
Thank You.
Yours truly,
Eddie Tan

[Subject] Guilty As Charged By The Maritimes & Port Autority Of Singapore [Attachment]
Message:
Hi Mr Leem Seng Kok,
The contractor for NSL Oilchem Services Pte Ltd had been charged by the MPA enforcement department and had pleaded guilty to all 5 accounts of the charge today at Subordinate Court no.23.
The charges were, Prosper Marine failed to inform the MPA that its vessel namely, Elcarim, did not have the class to transport dangerous cargo with flashpoint below 60 degree Celsius and had contravened to MPA’s Dangerous & Flammable Goods Act.
The company was fined on all 5 accounts and my question here again is, will your department also prosecute the company for putting all its crew members’ lives at risk ?
Firstly, Elcarim is registered in Singapore and she has no classification and how on earth do the crew members obtain their Work Permits. And also, with regard to its insurance coverage, no insurance companies will do a pay-out if they know that the vessel is being misused in case of an accident, i.e. to carry dangerous cargo which she is not permitted to do so.
Since MPA had already charged the company and I was in the court to witness the whole proceedings, the Managing Director turned to his colleagues, knowing that we were all there to know the outcome, he said: ” Only $1500 per charge.? I thought it is going to be $15000 per charge “. You can see how arrogant he is, so I hope that your department could look into this case to see whether Prosper Marine have infringed any of the other MOM’s regulations.
You could refer to Capt Ram from the Safety Enforcement Section or Capt Foong from MPA’s Investigaion Section for their feedback on this case and hopefully you can ” find a nail in the bag of rice ” and bring them to court.
Thank You and Have A Prosperous Chinese New Year.
Yours truly,
Eddie Tan

Dear Mr Eddie Tan,
We refer to your emails of 2 & 3 January 2012, and would like to address some of your comments related to the Ministry’s investigation into the accident.
2. The Ministry had conducted a thorough investigation into the accident and appropriate actions were taken against the offenders under the Workplace Safety and Health Act. The findings of the accident were released through the media upon the conclusion of the prosecution.
3. During the investigation, a Stop Work Order (“SWO”) was issued to the contractor to halt the operations of some of its land-based storage tanks, including the one affected by the fire. The SWO was lifted after the contractor had developed and implemented the necessary safety measures to address the risk of fire or explosion caused by flammable vapours emitted from the storage tanks. The Ministry had ensured that the used oil in the affected tank was properly disposed by competent contractors.
4. We also refer to your email of 10 Jan 2012 for a separate matter.
5. The Ministry had verified that at the material time of the offences committed by ‘Elcarim’ under the MPA’s legislations, her certification (by her classification society) to carry all types of petroleum cargoes, was restricted due to certain documentary non-compliance. There was no evidence to suggest that ‘Elcarim’ was not designed or equipped to safely carry, and for its crew to safely handle, Class A and Class B cargoes.
6. The Ministry thank you for your feedback and will not be taking any further action on the matters.
Yours sincerely,
Leem Seng Kok
Manager,Ops Planning

It looks like a case of ” Who You Know & Not What You
Have (Know)” again and it is the job of our ever reliable
CPIB to solve. There are 4 Authorities or Agencies
involved in this case and i think every one of them is
relying on the other to solve the issue and i think the
Ministry Of Transport should head this investigation.
Only $1500 fine per charge..? What a discount..! Does
MPA know that for foreign going vessel, like Elcarim, the port charges and wharf charges and pilot escort etc..
all amounted to about $7600 each time she entres S’pore.
This is a “loophole” for other company to copy by not declaring their vessels’ arrival until they are caught. I am wondering how many trips had Elcarim made all these
years…? Is someone in MPA covering for Prosper Marine ?
To my understanding, Elcarim is a vessel already over 30 years old and should be heading for the scrap yard and furthermore is singled Hulk and Bottom. It is shocking that the MPA still allows her to transport heavy Fuel Oil and Recovered Oil at flash point below 60° census. The Port Master needs to be questioned to ensure that no double standards bein practised here.
wah lan! i don’t know what to say. Does the IMO knows what MPA is doing? Green, my foot.
Dear David,
I have been watching what you doing. You have admitted on the TRE posting that you are a competitor to the companies involved. You have also admiitedvthat you are frustrated that you were charged for various offended. You are basically a very unhappy man. You need urgent and serious counseling to control tour unhappiness.
I have asked previously why you are doing this and is there a mastermind behind you making you post these same old story on different website.
Our government departments are very fair and very competent. You should go through the issues and matter carefully. If you have inadequate knowledge about ships and their classification, go and consult the relevant professionals. If you do not know the law go and consult a lawyer.
Instead of doing all all these, you keep on repeating the same grandmother story and expect people to believe the same twisted facts you repeat here.
If you are a good man, come into open and tell people your business interest and whommis behind you in this matter.
I told you previosuly if you want to compete in business, be a gentleman and compete openly and with honesty. To bring grandmother story again and again and hoping to confuse people is real low class.
Just because because you say monkeys have one horn does not mean that we the public are stupid and must take everything you state as the gospel truth.
Please stop making wild accusations and focus on your business, if you have any. If you have certain frustrations please see a professional counsellor for necessary help.
May the truth behind this man prevail.
.
This whole matter is a repeat of similar postings by the same person. To keep harassing his business competitors and to express his frustration against a government department, he is just trying to ignite a small fire and hopes that it will become a wild fire. Unfortunately there are many peop,e who can see the mischief behind this man and are ready with a fire extinguisher. Those who want to know about this man and his postings, please visit his other postings where he repeats the same old unjustified allegations. May the truth prevail and fair competition prevail.
You admiit that you were in the Court. Obviously you are very interested in the matter. Why did you attend the court matter when you were not being charged. You have a bigger agenda to ensure that you give maximum problem to your competitor. You say that MD said the fine is only $1500. The maximum fine for this type of case is $5000 and for all first time case it is about $ 1500. Are you frustrated that the fine is low or that your scheme to damage your competitor has failed. You are making several Freudian slips which clearly shows that you are part of a bigger scheme. Come clean and be honest as to what you trying to do.
Keep on doing this nonsense and we all have to be worried for you and where else you are going to repeat the same old grandmother stories on the Internet.
My dear David Tan, i guess it is not your real name, anyway Eddie’s grandma is walking very slowly and your guys are flying now but very soon his grandma will also catch up with you guys and she can walk pass you guys and laughs, “hey hey hey…, the law had caught up with you bad apples already ah..!” and her denture almost fell out. God is always very great the bad will always be punished and very soon the whole bunch of rotten grapes will be pull out from the crate.
Hi Bro.., well said..! David is definitely from Prosper
Marine, the ex-Commissioner Of Police, he is another
stupid idiot to be used by the “short Ass” again. Why ppl
or colleagues dont see how dangerous this “Short Ass” is,
he was sacked by the Police Force and still claiming to
be a Policeman outside and i think very soon all his
Directors will be dragged down by him because he got
nothing to lose and is leaving on borrowed money. He has
been bluffing his shareholders on influence he claimed
to have but the truth will be out soon, so David shut
your mouth and open your eyes to see the real situation.
Hi Guys..! Thanks for the interest and support to my blog
and as always there are two sides of the comments but I would like to highlight to the MPA why the special treatment given to the vessel “Elcarim”..? As mentioned by the ‘Surveyor’, she is singled hulk and singled bottom
and is 33 years old and i think the MPA have a reason to grant permission for her usage as well as the fleet of vessels used by NSL Oilchem’s contractor. In one of IMO regulations, vessels carry heavy fuel oil and slop must have doubled hulk and doubled bottom and must not be older than 25 years but again NSL’s contractor vessels do not meet any of the criterias, I hope the Port Master of MPA could enlighten me on this issue.
Dear Sir,
What talking cock you? Are you the same Eddie who worked for a company was prosecuted by MPA many years ago?
Tell the truth and take your punishment like a man.
Tell the whole truth sir, or you will never die happy.
While now I know there is a circus troupe around Eddie. Obviously again someone shooting off his mouth. The ship is certified to carry by proper certificates and has been classiffied properly. Eddie was in court and saw the whole proceedings. Documents were given to the court to show that the vessel can carry the cargoes with the proper certificates and classification. Why don’t you masked men face the truth and still trying to get the “grandmother” to do something which is not working. If you do not know about ships , then go and take a course and learn about it. If you are very confident that the ship is not classified properly, go and tell the owners of Elcarim that you will put your money on the table and get the ship sent for tests to reconfirm the truth. Instead of admitting that all is done properly, someone is just trying to orchestrate a negative publicity and claim there is some wrong doing when there is none. Come guys your mud throwing is coming to nothing. Your plain bad intentions to sabotage your competitor is clear. I do not know who the hired gun is , but I suspect there is a mastermind behind the whole thing. Sorry but the truth prevails. That the reason the people behind this nonsense do not appear in person and wayang on the internet to post this rubbish is because they know theyncannot face the new competition in business. Eddie, this matter is beyond your capability.. Come clean and admit for what and for whom you are undertaking this.
I thought this website is for ppl to vent their anger
against employers, agencies and authorities and what is
this stupid and idiotic David Tan saying..? David Tan is
defending his Co.and telling us to shut up, his idiotic
reaction will even make more ppl suspect his Co.
involvement with the already unreliable MPA. He seems
very confident that ‘Elcarim’ is untouchable but let us
see when the higher authorities start their investigation
in MPA. Stupid man….!
“eddie tan” is that you? Change your screen name so fast?
Hi Bro.., no need to waste time explaining to this “Boss Polisher”, David Tan. He thinks he is smart and wants to show to the “Short Ass” his committment and dedication to
his new Co., just wait and see he will be any sucker in the end just like the rest of the ppl who worked with him. He can stand in the dock and explain to the Judge at a later stage while the “Short Ass” is laughing behind him. This new “Boss Polisher” still does not know
the true colour of the “Short Ass” yet and he will learn the hard way…, idiot.
Is this oso the one and de same “Eddie Tan”? Wow! 1 bullshitter, many screen names !
Hi guys,
I understand your frustration and the common agenda some people here may share as a group. The reality is that the people here are not all innocent public but some individuals with an agenda against the competitor. Now that that the truth has come out, they feel sad and dejected. Well if you want to play the wrong game against your competitor and try to create issues and unsubstantiated allegations under the name Stupid people don’ lie, the facts speak for themselves. Stupid people just do not realize they are stupid. They just think they are smart but repeat the stupid mistake again and again and assume that all readers are also stupid. I admire the person has chosen the name” Stupid people” as it really reflects his intellect and his gullibility and fronting for someone more intelligent. Come on guys game over . It was a good try but nevertheless really stupid to knock you head against a rock called TRUTH.
Dear David.., you still dont get the simple meaning of my
ID, only smart and intelligent ppl like you who claimed
that you are not stupid are LIARS..! Ha ha ha..! Sit down
and think for a moment la.., if you are not stupid, why
an ex-Commissioner of Police can work under a sacked
police constable ? It is very degrading to the SPF if
the present Commissioner comes to know about it, just
recall on the 10th Jan 12, were you standing in the dock
in Subordinate Court no. 23 ..? ha ha ha.., shut your gap
and think if you are really that intelligent or smart.
Well, the fact you do not know who was the past Commissioner Police and pretend to know who I am clearly shows that you are a person with a bad intention. Looks like you came to Court and are a interested party and not a innocent party pretending to post rubbish here. Looks like the original person who posted here Eddie has other people who also followed him to Court. I am not a staff of any company but a crusader for the truth and do not support people who use the internet for their personal or hidden malicious agenda.
You also seem to know about the people involved, which clearly makes my point that this whole posting has a hidden agenda and hidden hand. Well just too bad that you have some experienced people who are good rat catchers.
My friend your actions show your intentions and do not spend your good energy over bad deeds. Focus your energy on doing good deeds and your business will thrive. Just bad luck that you are not going anywhere with these new postings , which is a rehash of old unsubstantiated
rubbish. May truth and good deeds prevail over evil.
I’ve learn some excellent stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot attempt you put to make this type of wonderful informative web site.
Dear Transitioning.org,
Who is this Eddie Tan? Is he the same person as “SmartAss” and “StupidPplDontLie”? Are there socks puppets on this blog post?
Is he the same “Eddie Tan” who worked for Cheong Chuan and New Regal Marine before?
Competitors to the people he is trying to sabo online?
Has Transitioning.Org inadvertently opened itself to defamation suits by carrying defamatory blog posts of a person who uses the name “Eddie Tan”?
I advise Transitioning.org to carefully investigate the history behind the people who started this whole chain of shit, and take down these bloggo-shit from Eddie Tan.
