Communication Guidelines

Due to the fact that different staff in various departments do not speak or understand the English language well, we will not like any kind of mistake or misunderstanding. So all communications should be via E-mail or WhatsApp to enable us to translate all communications accordingly to the best of our knowledge.

We will try our best to respond to all communications through our various translating platforms. So we plead with all participating companies and individuals to ensure that all communications to this office are done through E-mail or WhatsApp as phone calls will be difficult for most of our staff to understand.

We hope you will understand our concern and co-operate with us to achieve a better and successful procurement process.
