The Point Lisas In­dus­tri­al Port De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion Lim­it­ed (Plipde­co) says a two-page let­ter cir­cu­lat­ing on so­cial me­dia, pur­port­ing to be signed by its chair­man and in­struct­ing that projects be fast-tracked to make the Gov­ern­ment look good, is fraud­u­lent. It said the mat­ter is now en­gag­ing the at­ten­tion of the po­lice.

In a me­dia re­lease on Sat­ur­day, the state com­pa­ny, which is un­der the Min­istry of Works and Trans­port, said the con­tent in the post is “mis­lead­ing, fab­ri­cat­ed and de­lib­er­ate­ly de­signed to mis­in­form the pub­lic and un­der­mine the in­tegri­ty of the cor­po­ra­tion.”

Ac­cord­ing to the doc­u­ment, which was pur­port­ed­ly signed by chair­man An­nette Wat­tie and di­rect­ed to vice-pres­i­dent Cur­tis Den­nie, Den­nie was in­struct­ed to fast-track four projects. The aim, ac­cord­ing to the doc­u­ment, was to make the cur­rent ad­min­is­tra­tion look as though it is dri­ving tan­gi­ble, vis­i­ble de­vel­op­ment that di­rect­ly sup­ports na­tion­al eco­nom­ic ad­vance­ment be­fore the elec­tion.
