Yup I have emailed to the webmaster at science.nus.edu.sg about the ftp server 
admin last night. Since he is an Associate Professor , I assume he knows 
someone who might know who is admin of that server.

I believe Canonical have some control over the mirrors at NUS. After all , 
with ubuntu LTS release , they are going after the enterprise crowd and I 
doubt they will let other people to have total control over mirror servers. 
Maybe I got it wrong there. Lets wait for the reply from the webmaster ? 

BTW , the site where I got the info is

http://www.science.nus.edu.sg/publications/webteam/

and I have emailed to - Web Owner - A/P Lim Tit Meng on the info on the admin 
of ftp server.
