CPIB assistant director charged with fraud, S$1.7m

[Romagnum]

All because of uncontrolled gambling

Not like me, got control.

 

[Leongsam]

Do the governments of NZ and the rest of the world plunder such fucking obscene wages for themselves?

The salary may be lower but they enjoy all sorts of hidden perks behind the scenes and they pull a variety of stunts in order to rip off the taxpayer.

In Singapore, the politicians are honest and full of integrity. In other countries, the politicians are a bunch of crooks.

It is not that our political system is upright. It is that practices that are normally deemed corrupt in other countries have been legalized in Singapore. This is known as "legalized corruption".

 

[Dreamer1]

Boss Sam,
some of the politicians are crooks,not all politicians are crooks.
Some PAP politicians are righteous,not all PAP politicians are righteous
Note:TRENDING - the number of politicians in the world who are not crooks are rising but the no. of righteous PAP politicians are decreasing at an alarming rate.

He managed to raise $500k for bail, definitely have some assets.

When he is released eventually, can't even get a taxi license. Think he should volunteer to be locked up with con hee, then he can become a pastor of mega church.

I noted that too. Not easy to raise 500k.

He need not worry over lodging and makan for the next decade. I am betting on minimum 10 yrs, maybe even 15yrs. The only thing is his favour is not claiming trial and wasting court time. The fact that less than 5% of amount taken was recovered will enhance his sentence. Being an AD of a govt entity that should be 'stainless steel' will add another nail in his coffin. Lastly, the timing of his case cannot be worse with all the recent negative publicity on civil servants.

He can raise 500k in a snap but can only return less than 100k of stolen money

Shouldn't the AGC apply to freeze all his assets in case his family or mistress fled with the money?

money might be borrowed. unless he that dumb to come up with is money as that would be recovered.

 

[Unrepented]

Recent news got report improper use for "waiver of competition"......what lowest bidder

............

The truth is: though public sector projects are more 'stable', the public sector's notorious penny pinching ways with vendors usually gives the lowest bidder the business. Lowest bidder, with crony connections, or preferably both.

For one who can distinguish the communal bucket you and 50 families shit in to be steel, your power of distinguishing piles of shit got all used up.
And you cannot see PAP regime consist only of walking bags of excrement with only self interest and robbing sinkies paramount.

He's that dumb to steal so much money from govt, and then even go mbs to gamble using his own posb card.

Most people will not loan this kind of money to friends. It has to be from family.

Maybe just write-off as beyond repair and disposed off by sales to "scrap dealers". Can also "trade-in" at very low price when making new purchases.

 

[greedy and cunning]

There will always be bad apples in any organisation. This case in now way affects the excellent standing of the Singapore Govt.

The fact that he has been identified and charged accordingly speaks for itself. In a corrupt country, he would get away with such crimes and the general public would be none the wiser.

I would like to congratulate PM Lee for running an honest and transparent system without fear or favour.

the emperor will always get away with anything because
there are a huge number of morons , parasites , sycophants in sillypoore.
