Former MFA protocol chief stripped of public service medals
SINGAPORE: The former chief of protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lim Cheng Hoe has been stripped of the public service medals that he had previously been awarded.
Information published in the Government Gazette on Monday said the President forfeited Lim of the Public Administration Medal (Silver), the Commendation Medal, the Efficiency Medal and the Long Service Medal with effect from 19 March 2014.
Lim was handed a 15-month jail term last month for 10 counts of cheating.
The offences involved falsifying claims involving the purchase of pineapple tarts and wine amounting to about S$35,000.
In sentencing, the judge had said Lim had clearly abused the trust placed in him and brought disrepute to public office. - CNA/ec
I don;t know what with these high ranking civil servants. They are already making good money compared to private sector. One of my relatives who is a HOD in a public school told us that they have huge bonuses.
If these lower ranking civil servants has huge bonus, how about the higher ranking ones ? Comes to think of it .......it is mystifying and it the best not to think and see so much so that you can concentrate in your own stuff.
