The police are looking into how two expatriates jumped bail, and will discipline the officers responsible if lapses or negligence are uncovered.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, who is also the Home Affairs Minister, disclosed on Thursday that the internal inquiry is underway. It will be completed next month.
Three expatriates - Australian business development manager Nathan Robert Miller, and options brokers Robert Stephen Dahlberg, a New Zealander, and Robert James Springall, a Briton - were charged in court with assault last July over a brawl at Suntec City in 2010.
Miller pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three weeks' jail last month.
