THE government cannot comment on investigations undertaken by its agencies, but if there is "good reason to do so", the authorities will investigate, Senior Minister of State for Law Indranee Rajah told Parliament on Monday.
She was responding to a question from Workers' Party Non-Constituency MP Dennis Tan, who asked the Law Ministry whether the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) would "conduct a thorough investigation" into the business affairs of Keppel Offshore & Marine (KOM) to ascertain if the company had also used bribes to secure contracts elsewhere in the world, outside of Brazil.
