It's not just about the money (although i wonder if Singapore also bought any of these), it's about the potential lives lost because of the fake detectors. I'm sure there have been casualties arising from the use of these "detectors".

[Mockngbrd]

Scariest thing? They are still using these "detectors" because gahmens paid so much for em.

[ChickenMob]

LOL, if he cheated our Gov here, he will get life imprisonment here, earn how much also cannot spend.

Can detect a planted bomb 1000 mtrs away also damn solid..

I wonder how much under-table money was paid to see these deals through?

that is why it is impt to feed the govt officials so full until they have no more room in their stomachs for undertable.

 

and that is why SG did not buy these bomb detectors

[Watwheels]

It's not new. Sgp also have what but we call it "white elephant". It range from mrt station to those useless things or excercise machines that lie around in your house. Like that a lot of ppl kenna con too. James McCormick is just very talented in marketing but do not really have a good product to sell.
