TWO years after police began investigating several members of the National Safety Council of Singapore, three men were in court yesterday to face charges of criminal breach of trust.
They were former honorary secretary-general Sia Chin Hwee, 58, and former employees Saidon Hassan, 39, and David Kan Tuck Pui, 78.
The trio allegedly siphoned off more than $800,000 from Traffic Police (TP) bank accounts over several years.
The Straits Times understands that none of the funds was used for their personal benefit. Most went to the upkeep of the council, a non-profit body which helped to raise public awareness of road and workplace safety.
