Whistle blowing channel

 This case concerns a LTA senior officer who was able to pressure the contractor to give loans to him.

According to the news report, the contractor initially were not willing to accede to the request, but later, they relented.
I remember that the government introduced laws regarding whistle blowing. Surely, the contractors could have used this facility to alert LTA about the wrong doing?
I recall that a lot of attention was given in the media and also in instructions to businesses to set up the whistle blowing channel.
Why is the whistle blowing facility not being used?
I believe that if the whistle blowing facility is handled effectively, it can be a useful channel to alert the people in charge about wrong doing.
