372 trips to casino in 2.5 years by CPIB direcotr

[iluvgst]

This is the transparency we need. We need a website for us to view
1. The declared assets of the elected government (President, PM, ministers, minister of state, parliamentary secretary) and political secretaries;
2. Cvil servants earning at least $100k.

Dream on..... if they do that, you will realise the forbes top 40 list is highly inaccurate.

Thanks to George Yeo for bringing up the Casino idea to the PAP Cabinet.....

[halsey02]

The Minister in Charge of the CPIB should also shoulder part of the blame and resign-WP should bring this up in Parliament.
What's hawker centre roof cleaning and some accounting lapses compared to this?
Name me one company that has 100% compliance in its audit report.

That is under Home Affairs....that would be? previously, 'relative' WKS & now another 'relative' TCH right?

Now their own kinds take Lees' families money cheong at their own Casinos should PAPigs take this opportunity to reduce their own salaries so they don't have money to cheong???

SINGAPORE — He made 372 trips to the casinos over two-and-a-half years, losing at least S$478,583 at Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands between April 2010 and September 2012. From 2008 to 2012, he lost S$263,699 through betting with Singapore Pools.

To fuel his gambling habit, former Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) Assistant Director Edwin Yeo Seow Hiong misappropriated funds issued to the branch he headed within the bureau.

Details of how he did so emerged yesterday as Yeo, 39, pleaded guilty to three charges of criminal breach of trust and one charge of forgery. He had faced 21 charges, but one charge of criminal breach of trust was dropped and 16 others taken into consideration as District Judge Ng Peng Hong sentenced Yeo to 10 years’ jail for his offences.

Yeo’s case had led to an independent review, which concluded that supervisory lapses had led to a lack of financial controls at the bureau. A new director was appointed in a move to rebuild public trust in the unit, while the two directors who were at the helm when the supervisory lapses occurred were issued warning letters. The Government also tightened rules governing public servants’ visits to casinos, including getting those who frequent the gaming tables to declare how often they make such trips or if they buy annual visit passes.

Yeo, who is married with a five-year-old son, was head of the CPIB’s Field Research and Technical Support (FRTS). His illegal actions came to light in September 2012 when the CPIB received information that payment for certain operational expenses incurred by his branch were overdue. On Oct 18 that year, the bureau lodged a report with the Commercial Affairs Department that Yeo had embezzled money.

The court heard yesterday that for each sum of money Yeo misappropriated, he would cover up the missing funds using the next sum of cash available. This was because the earlier funds had been spent on his personal debts and expenses. He also asked his staff to negotiate with vendors for delayed payment of sums owed to them.

For one of the charges, Yeo had gone against the management’s instruction to have two people authorising transactions for an FRTS bank account. He applied for Internet banking facilities, which allowed online transactions to be carried out using a single Internet banking token, and transferred S$470,265 from the account into his personal account between May and August 2012.

On the forgery charge, he edited a voucher documenting payment to trick CPIB Assistant Director of Administration and Support Sze Chinyu into thinking payment had been made to an equipment supplier. In total, Yeo misappropriated S$1.76 million, of which S$1.64 million has not been repaid.

District Judge Ng said retribution and deterrence must be considered in sentencing Yeo, whose actions impacted public confidence in the integrity of the public service. Only a small fraction of the money has been recovered and his misdeeds took place over a substantial period of time — between April 2009 and August 2012.

The judge agreed with prosecutors that this was a case of “egregious abuse of position and trust”, and noted that “the offences were well-planned and hard to detect”.

“The Court has to signal the society’s moral opprobrium over his offences and deter any like-minded offenders,” District Judge Ng said. He felt the focus ought to be on the aggregate sentence imposed and not the length of individual sentences, as was highlighted in the case of two former Singapore Land Authority employees who had also defrauded their employer of significant sums of money. In the SLA case, Koh Seah Wee and Lim Chai Meng received jail terms of 22 years and 15 years, respectively, for defrauding the agency of more than S$12 million.

Defence lawyer Tan Hee Joek, who had said in mitigation that his client had received prestigious awards in his 15 years with the CPIB and never took a single day of medical leave, said Yeo was unlikely to appeal.

The CPIB said that based on yesterday’s conviction, it would be initiating civil service disciplinary proceedings against Yeo, who has been suspended from duties and interdicted since Sept 15 last year. Yeo would most likely be terminated from the service and thereby lose his superannuation benefits, estimated to be worth about S$100,000.

[GoldenDragon]

That is under Home Affairs....that would be? previously, 'relative' WKS & now another 'relative' TCH right?

CPIB is not under MHA. Under PMO.

 

[gingerlyn]

Shameful PMO and shamefule CPIB.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It is me again, your familiar Ginger. I want to tell you dirty stories of CPIB and its boss Eric Tan which are very shameful to Singaporeans.

1) Arrogant, Uncivil and Disrespectful to their own Predecessor.
Yoong Siew Wah was once CPIB Director. However Eric Tan purposely shamed him by not inviting him to CPIB 60th Anniversary.

An Aspect of the CPIB Arrogant, Uncivil?
http://singaporerecalcitrant.blogspot.sg/2012/09/an-aspect-of-cpib-arrogant-uncivil.html

2) Corruption and Dishonest within CPIB
This is the mother of all jokes. Mr. Yoong Siew Wah summed up nicely in his article:
The Downfall of Eric Tan, CPIB Director
http://singaporerecalcitrant.blogspot.sg/2013/08/the-downfall-of-eric-tan-cpib-director.html

Mr Edwin Yeo cheated SGD1.8MILLION from CPIB and it was all due to Eric Tan negligent. However, Eric Tan was merely transferred to other division as his talent is greatly appreciated my Lee Hsien Loong.

Quote From PM LEE
He will be redeployed to other duties where his knowledge and experience will be valuable.

3) Serial Womaniser Teng Khee Fatt
This old fart must be the serial womaniser in CPIB and he accompanied Cecilia Sue in a sedan car. He must have the sexual urge when he sniffed Cecilia Sue perfume in the car. This was exposed by Tan Chee Meng, SC.

This only shows that CPIB is downright unprofessional from top Eric Tan and Teng Khee Fatt to Edwin Yeo.

4) Forgetful CPIB Teng Khee Fatt
He forgot to write the word "not" in his station diary. I think this guy dreamed too much of Cecilia Sue?

Quote from Teng Khee Fatt:
Earlier, the court also took issue with an entry in Teng’s station diary which indicated that Sue had told him that she was willing to take a lie detector test. The senior officer replied that he had missed out the word “not” in his notes.

5) Uneducated and Hokkien Peng CPIB Teng Khee Fatt
This guy failed his basic English but he is a deputy Director!
Quote from Teng Khee Fatt:
The CPIB deputy director said that he had asked professor to only look up the word "conscientious" for him in the dictionary, as he could not spell it.

6) Prudish and Old Virgin CPIB Teng Khee Fatt
According to this man, "It was not possible for a girl to buy a guy a gift."

7) Gangster, Thugs CPIB

8) Anyhow Tangkap (Catch) CPIB
CPIB have very little legal knowledge. However, due to the immerse power given by PM Lee, they anyhow tangkap and charged people and sent them to Jail!

Anyhow tangkap 1 (IKEA)
Choo Han Teck
He said: "The offence of corruption does not capture a situation like the present one, where he created his own secret benefit and not that it was a gratification given to him as a reward. Whatever the appellant was guilty of, I find that it was not corruption under the PCA (Prevention of Corruption Act)."
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/former-f-b-manager-at/818138.html

Anyhow Tangkap 2: (SEAGATE LOGISTICS)
Choo Han Teck
He said: "Corruption is a narrow subset of situations which involve a conflict of interest and is defined under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
“The inference that suspicious activities arising from a conflict of interest must be corrupt must be resisted."
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/former-seagate-technology/818106.html

9) Nepotism in CPIB
Initially Bernard Lim Yong Soon was investigated and charged by CPIB. However, after the subsequent charge and during Pre Trial Conference, the charge was changed to the less serious charge of lying.

[laksaboy]

People who are miserable (e.g. from work or family) will attempt to numb themselves with various substances (alcohol and drugs) and cheap thrills (gambling, either at SG Pools or a casino).
