" Do you really care which company is a better supplier even more expensive as long as you meet your own targets? And is that really a bad thing?
If singaporeans can squeeze the max from these people who have been squeezing us all along is that really so bad?"
That's one of the lesson of HDB fiasco under Mah when a lot of contractors collapsed about 10 years ago due to the lowest price bidding and HDB was tight on cash flow.
Nobody likes to be squeezed, even politicians. I always believe people will perform best when they are fulfilled. Question is the lack of accountability that's been festering in the elitist ideology ie I know better than you. This is not the same and runs counter to meritocracy.
Pianist is right that public services cannot be benchmarked to economic goals. Capitalism is just a TOOL to make them efficient, rather than become goals in itself. Otherwise we should just abolish defence since it is not a profit generator.

Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. –William A. Ward
