Correct.  But you would need to check the entities they represent and
there in lies the issue.  Visits by M$ were done and am sure those visits
"subtly" weighed in the vote.

As, FOIA/RtA is non existent in Singapore.  I have asked for this for a long
time and am working with some within the current parliament to have this -
but that is a separate debate.

Please ask, email, whatever, as to how the decision was arrived at.  I am
honour bound not to reveal, in public, what transpired at the meeting.
