my paper

Friday, Dec 23, 2011

A Singapore civil servant appeared in court yesterday on 455 charges of cheating the Government of a total of more than $600,000, the authorities and a media report said.

 

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement that clerical officer Liew Chee Meng was alleged to have forged documents to approve the purchase of gift vouchers for his personal benefit between 2007 and early this year.

 

Subsequent investigations led to the seizure of almost $475,000 worth of goods from the accused, the MHA said.

 

"A civilian clerical officer from the Ministry of Home Affairs...was charged in court today with forgery, cheating, criminal breach of trust and conversion of proceeds of crime," it said.

 

"The offences relate to acts allegedly committed in the course of his employment with the ministry. The total amount involved is $617,087."

 

The MHA said Liew's actions were uncovered in January after an internal audit, following a corruption case involving a senior civil servant with a penchant for Italian supercars.

 

In that case, Koh Seah Wee, formerly a deputy director of information technology at the Singapore Land Authority, was sentenced last month to 22 years in jail for cheating the Government of more than $12 million.

Totally disagree. They work for our nation, not for our money. Look at Obama, how much he earns? Even lower than some of our MPs. If wanna earn big money, then dont work in MIW.

Legalised corruption=pay exceptionally for malingering Ministers/MPs who absconded to other Ministry when problems surface. LKY did not had such issues with his Cabinet.
