What's the difference between request for proposal (RFP) and open tender


In the wake of YB Lim Guan Eng's charges relating to the Penang undersea tunnel, politicians on both sides of the political divide have begun mudslinging at each other.

Amidst this, there have been some debate going over whether a Request For Proposal (RFP) and an Open Tender are the same thing. I cannot help but wonder why this has become a point of contention, since the charges were not at all concerned with the type of procedure involved.
