I was doing some research for an assignment entitled "Building Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) Construction Projects" when I came across the piece below at http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=278. (The link is one of the suggested reading by the class lecturer)
"....Jeremy Carver, a barrister for Transparency International, said of his dealing with Balfour Beatty:
'I went to a DTI reception. I was introduced to someone who identified himself as the chairman of a company and we were talking about corruption. He announced with great pride that he personally handed over the cheque to the government minister for the Pergau dam “bribe” in Malaysia.' Identifying the interlocutor as 'the chairman of Balfour Beatty', he continues: 'The corporate honcho was not confessing, but boasting about the payment which he may have considered not a bribe but just the cost of doing business Malaysian-style.'65..."
This is so embarassing!
