Am I reading this right or does this sound like sub-contracting and breaching terms and conditions of the employment contract which is should be in the private domain. Look like CPIB got nothing important to do or unable to handle the real corruption cases.

TO supplement his monthly income, a Certis Cisco auxiliary police officer decided to moonlight as a car washer and even employed two foreign construction workers to help him.
.
But Mr M Subramaniam’s moonlighting days ended on Wednesday after he was arrested by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB). Yesterday, the 42-year-old was charged with two counts of abetting foreign workers to violate the terms of their work permits and two counts of engaging in trade without his employers’ consent.
.
According to court documents, Mr Subramaniam had obtained a licence from the Housing Development Board (HDB) in 2003 to operate as a car washer in Sengkang HDB housing estate as well as Sunglade condominium at Serangoon Avenue 2.
.
He also employed two construction workers, both Indian nationals, to wash cars.
.
In exchange for a cut of their takings, Mr Subramaniam told them he would use his position as an auxiliary police officer to overlook their work-permit violations.
.
But his plan backfired after CPIB officers, through enquiries and field operations, got wind of what was happening and rounded up the two workers before arresting Mr Subramaniam on Wednesday.
.
Yesterday, Mr Subramaniam — who has been with Certis Cisco since 1988 — made a brief appearance at the Subordinate Court to hear the charges.
.
He came to court with a large entourage consisting of family members and friends.
.
Court documents revealed that Mr Subramaniam allegedly began accepting money from Indian construction worker Chellapandy Periasamy, after the latter began work as a car washer in Sunglade condominiumbetween May and December 2006.
.
The accused is also alleged to have taken money fromanother construction worker,Mr Velayutham Kumar, between September 2006 and April last year at a HDB carpark in Sengkang Central.
.
It is not known how much money Mr Subramaniam hadallegedly collected from them.
.
Using his car washer’s licence, the accused also supposedly cleaned cars — without the consent of his employer, an offence under the Auxiliary Police Forces Regulations.
.
A Certis Cisco spokesperson said the company values integrity and professionalism in its officers and “will not hesitate to take disciplinary action against officers who commit acts that run counter to these values”.
.
Mr Subramaniam — now out on $10,000 bail — will be subjected to disciplinary action which may result in the termination of his employment, added the spokesperson.
.
The accused, who is represented by lawyer S Balamurugan, will appear at a pre-trial conference on Nov 20.
