.IT exec was involved with both Lim, Ng: report
Yahoo! Newsroom – 4 hours ago..
More information has emerged about the female IT executive who is believed to be involved with the two top officials being investigated by the CPIB. (Getty Images)
More information has emerged about the still-unidentified female IT executive who is believed to be involved with Ng Boon Gay and Peter Lim.
The two top-ranking public officials currently being investigated by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) are believed to have on separate occasions had sex with the 36-year-old woman, reported The Straits Times (ST). All three, the paper stated, are married, and Ng and Lim are believed to have both admitted during questioning to having improper relationships with a woman.
The broadsheet reported that the woman was a sales director at a Japanese multinational company that provides business-scale IT storage systems, but moved to an American software firm about six months ago. The woman’s friends and contacts also told the paper that she is “tall, slim, long-haired and vivacious”.
However, Lianhe Wanbao reported that she is in her 40s, and had been divorced from her husband, a Mr Yong, since 10 years ago. According to the tabloid, she also has two children, and apparently has the nickname “pretty woman”.
The evening daily also reported that in her previous position at the Japanese company, the woman entertained clients and accompanied them on golf and overseas trips.
Ng has known the woman in question for more than three years, and is believed to have been close to her since the start of 2009, ST said. CPIB’s investigations were said to be around two IT-related procurement contracts, valued at approximately $350,000, that Ng signed, and which underwent the regular process of awarding tenders.
The broadsheet also reported that the Japanese company the woman worked for was subcontracted by the two firms which were awarded the tenders.
In the meantime, Lim and Ng are said to be seeking legal assistance, and another six senior Singapore Civil Defence Force officers, together with employees from the IT sector are assisting with the CPIB investigation, reported the paper.

Government Parliamentary Committee for Law and Home Affairs deputy chairman Edwin Tong will be raising the issue. -- ST FILE PHOTO
Questions on graft investigation in Parliament
The issue of the graft investigation into two former senior public servants is likely to be raised in Parliament when it next sits in 2-1/2 weeks.
It will convene at 1.30pm on Feb 14, four days before Budget Day, said the Parliament Clerk on Thursday.
Mr Edwin Tong, deputy chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Law and Home Affairs, told The Straits Times he has three questions which he intends to raise.
First, he wants an update on the status of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau probe in the cases involving the former chiefs of the Singapore Civil Defence Force and Central Narcotics Bureau, Mr Peter Lim and Mr Ng Boon Gay.
'I also want to know why MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) felt it was inappropriate to reveal their investigations earlier.'
Mr Ng was arrested on Dec 19 and Mr Lim on Jan 4, but MHA issued a statement on the matter only on Tuesday, after Chinese evening newspaper Lianhe Wanbao broke the story.
'Last, the people being investigated are senior civil servants, so I also want to know if the systems in place are sufficiently rigorous,' said Mr Tong.

No delay in releasing news of CPIB probe: MHA
here was 'no delay' in releasing news of the corruption probe into two top senior civil servants, Peter Lim (left) and Ng Boon Gay (right), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on Friday afternoon. -- PHOTOS: SCDF, CHEW KOK WEI

There was 'no delay' in releasing news of the corruption probe into two top senior civil servants, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on Friday afternoon.
The Corruption Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) started investigating one officer on Dec 19, and the other on Jan 4.
Earlier, the authorities had said that former Central Narcotics Bureau director Ng Boon Gay was arrested on Dec 19, and ex-Singapore Civil Defence Force commissioner Peter Lim on Jan 4.
The MHA statement said that in the CPIB investigations, it is normal procedure for the person to be placed under arrest if the CPIB assesses that there is some basis for suspecting that the person may have committed an offence. That person can then be released on bail and is required to return for further investigations as needed, it added.
Both officers were placed on leave when the investigations began and the Ministry said that it was premature then to make any announcement as CPIB investigations had just started and the outcome was not known. An announcement could also compromise CPIB investigations, the MHA said.

On Jan 20, the CPIB informed the MHA that although their criminal investigations have not been completed, there was sufficient basis for the Ministry to consider civil service disciplinary action for misconduct.
The MHA initiated action to suspend the men from their duties, which took effect from Wednesday and commence civil service disciplinary proceedings.
It also took action to appoint their replacements to ensure leadership continuity in both departments.
The announcements were to have been made on Wednesday, but as news of the investigations had already appeared, the MHA decided to advance the media release by one day. Chinese language newspaper Lianhe Wanbao broke the news on Tuesday, triggering a storm of public discussion and media coverage.
Among the questions being raised was why the authorities took so long to make the affair public.
'Due process has to be followed to facilitate investigations, to be fair to officers accused, and to avoid prejudicing any legal or disciplinary proceedings,' the MHA statement said.
It added: 'These cases demonstrate that any allegations of misconduct against public officers will be investigated fully and thoroughly, regardless of their position or seniority, to uphold the highest standards of integrity and conduct in the public service.'

Govt will follow through on CPIB probe into 2 top men: PM Lee
By Chua Lee Hoong, In Davos
DAVOS, SWITZERLAND - The Singapore government insists on high standards among public officers and will follow through on investigations into allegations of misconduct involving two top men in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, speaking to Singapore reporters in Davos, Switzerland, this morning, said: 'Whoever he is, whichever position he occupies, we will pursue the matter and settle it one way or another.'
'If he did wrong, he must be punished; if he did nothing wrong, he must be exonerated.'Ex-Singapore Civil Defence Force Commissioner Peter Lim and ex-Central Narcotics Bureau chief Ng Boon Gay are currently being probed by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).
PM Lee flew into Davos on Jan 26 to attend a dinner hosted by the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon for G-20 countries. Singapore was one of several non-G-20 countries invited to give inputs for the G-20 summit meeting in Mexico in June.
Mr Lee said that during the dinner, he presented Singapore's point of view as an Asian country observing the current economic crisis in Europe - 'which we are all worried about' - and how Asia could contribute to a solution to the problem.
Mr Lee also held talks with Ms Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, ahead of the dinner.
Earlier in the day, Mr Lee attended a lunch meeting with a number of top CEOs with investments in Singapore.
He said that a chairman of a Japanese firm told him that Singapore is one of the best places to do business for pharmaceutical firms - and said the same thing in front of a conference session at the World Economic Forum.
'To have people say this about us is far more powerful than anything we can say for ourselves,' Mr Lee said.

The missing piece in a smart government’
By P N Balji
It was a memorable and bold moment in Singapore journalism. Earlier this week, a dogged reporter's patience and persistence combined with a brave editor's decision to throw caution to the wind ended in an exclusive that brought back memories of the good old days of old-fashioned reporting — and put the government in an embarrassing spot.
The Chinese evening newspaper, Lianhe Wanbao, went ahead with a report on the corruption investigations into the activities of two top public service officers — Singapore Civil Defence Force chief Peter Lim Sin Pang and Central Narcotics Bureau chief Ng Boon Gay — without a government confirmation. It named names and gave details, like the involvement of a woman in the scandal, knowing fully well that there was a chance — a very small chance, maybe — that it could get some important details wrong.
When the government statement came — on the same day but after the paper had published the report — the news had already caught fire with the on-line world hammering out posts and reports and raising pointed issues that ranged from transparency to arrogance.
The most damaging statement, unintended though it was, came from the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau. In response to media queries, it said that the narcotics man was arrested on Dec 19 and the civil defence boss on Jan 4, many days before the government put out its statement on Jan 24.
It was too long a lapse and was made worse by the rapid-fire news cycle punishing even those who take a couple of hours to come out with its side of the story.
Why this long delay?
In response to a query by The Straits Times, the government said the investigations are continuing and "it is only fair that we accord the officers assisting with investigations a fair hearing in accordance with the civil service disciplinary process and the law."
It is understandable that you want to give those involved, especially when the investigations are still on-going, a good shot at fair play. That occasion passed when the two were arrested. That was the moment when officialdom should have bitten the bullet and said: The tipping point has been reached. And we have to go public with the story.
But it remained silent until the unlikeliest of sources — the traditional media, fed by a regular diet of press releases and official speeches — put the story in the public domain.
The end result: A government caught with its back against the wall and in a reactive mode.
High pay and low corruption
When the Parliamentary debate on political salaries took place from Jan 16 to 18, the one critical point that never came up was that of a clean Cabinet and civil service. The silence on this issue was understandable because corruption in high places in government is extremely rare. But this new development, where two very senior public service officials were under investigation for "serious personal misconduct", could have been brought up and could have added a new dimension to the debate.
The salary-corruption link is important. High pay was one way to discourage officials from wanting to have their palms greased. Lee Kuan Yew highlighted that point when he pushed vigorously for top salaries. No reasonable-minded Singaporean would have expected a corrupt-free public service, even with high pay; those who want to get round the laws will always find loopholes to exploit.
But you can make sure that corruption cases are as rare as possible. And that corrupt officials, once exposed, will face the full brunt of the law.
Even ministers have not been spared. Former National Development Minister Teh Cheang Wan, who was praised by Lee Kuan Yew a number of times, chose to end his life when he faced the heat of an unyielding group of anti-corruption officers way back in the 1980s.
Making the CPIB report directly to the PMO gives them the latitude and freedom to investigate even the high and mighty without too many encumbrances.
All these could have made the Parliamentary debate more meaningful and relevant. But an opportunity to explain the historical backdrop and context to Singapore's war on corruption was lost.
The ruling party kept silent; so did the Opposition. I am more inclined to sympathise with the members of the Opposition because there was no way for them to have information on the latest investigations.
Lessons not learnt
Since GE 2011, the government seems to be on its backfoot with communication blunders becoming a regular occurrence. From the Mas Selamat case (official statement was issued four hours after the terrorist escaped from the Internal Security Department's detention centre) to the YOG episode (Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said that it was an embarrassment but not a disaster) to the PAP's electoral defeat in Aljunied (Lee Kuan Yew warned residents that they will repent if the Opposition won), it is clear that the government has yet to get a handle on how to communicate effectively in a new world.
That is really strange. This is not a stupid government, it has done a lot of good things for its people, it is respected overseas and its model of governance is highly sought after.
Yet, one of the basic attributes of a smart government — squaring with its citizens and carrying them along — seems to be missing.

this suzanne lim CMI leh......confirm bo?
BC is a pious catholic and closely associated with St Joseph's. He made an attempt to date the fairer sex including PS Ms Yong but no luck. After he failed tea party, the desire to do some sort of public service pushed him into social services. Very unusual character brimming with confidence, outspoken, cocky, arrogant, bold and ready to break the mould, yet driven to do social services and very religious and coupled with his sexual orientation. He might have done some real good to the Police Force certainly better than KBH, NJH etc. Only OKM was rated better. Suddenly the post of CP became a poison chalice. I was not surprised HSK, LY, WHK,LWH, AK and all other promising candidates were routed elsewhere.

Thanks for the info, GoldenDragon. Oh yeah BC was a golden bachelor. Was very hot tempered in charity sector too then.
No need. The "something" else could be an Ah Neh. Just an Ah Neh named Gupta working in a local bank already earned $8 million.
Another Ah Neh who is DPM cum Finance Minister earns much, much less.
Yet another Ah Neh who is a lawyer with bushy beard representing Tom, Dick and Harry is reported to earn much more. Except that his income is confidential.
If you were an Ah Neh with equal talent, where would you want to work - if money is your priority? Cross your fingers - don't BS!
