I wonder... is that some kind of lapse or staff/out-sourced IT vendor who missed out this kind of stuff? Do they really vet through to eradicate such mistakes?

Well djchris, there are always black sheeps among the whites. Some business people are too obsessed and a little extreme in their approaches. Can't be helped... we can only expose them and find ways to reduce their behaviour.

Btw, can you do us a favour of explain what you think of what's happening in that link you hightlighted? Thanks.

My guess is that the vendor that the govt. outsourced to, did not renew the domain name. It could be an overlapse on the vendor's part, or the govt. 'forgot' to process the invoice by the vendor and hence the vendor did not renew it. You know how 'fast' our govt works.

The govt. could be revamping this to a new portal for e-commerce disputes and do not need the domain name, but if this is the case, they should remove the link on their side.

Either way, someone has got to take the blame.

In the end of the day, a florist decides to take the opportunity to use this strange domain name for its e-commerce business. I do not know if it had intentions to exploit the govt's mistake.

The current owner of the domain is NANYANG ARTISTS CENTRE which is registered with ACRA. Personally, I don't think they are trying to be funny here, but the govt and the owner should work something out.

Thanks for the explanation. I think it's everybody's oversight. The govt didn't process the invoice in time and the IT division isn't aware of it; the outsourced vendor didn't receive instructions and KIV actions on the domain; and the florist isn't aware it's domain is linked to the govt website and took over that domain for e-commerce.

You want to market this service/concept to the govt and to your corporate clients? Hmm.. nice approach, though it may seem like taking a dig at the govt

Next day ACRA suspend my business, police come and knock on my door, and Lee family sue me for 'deframation'.

Forummer from another forum has pointed out that the mistake was that the url was written wrongly. It should be a .gov.sg and not .org.sg...

So I guess vendors are safe, webmaster is dead.
