Policeman guilty of data misuse By Alvina Soh | Posted: 30 June 2011 1933 hrs SINGAPORE: A police station inspector, who received numerous awards for good conduct and long service, admitted Thursday to three counts of illegally accessing a police computer system to trace his Indonesian maid's whereabouts. Thirty-four-year-old Sheik Faisal Shaik Abdul Kader Ali, who is still with the Singapore Police Force, admitted to misusing official data after his maid had gone missing. Investigations revealed that on November 22, 2009, Sheik discovered his maid had not returned home since early morning. Sheik, who was the duty investigation officer at Bedok Police Division that day, accessed an online police computer system to trace the missing maid at about 11.30am. He executed several searches in the system and retrieved police reports without authority. Eventually, he came across a police report lodged by his maid claiming he had molested her. However, investigation revealed she had made a false police report after an extra marital affair between them turned sour. The court heard that Sheik, a father of two, had used the police system for non-official purposes and did not want to inconvenience himself and his colleagues by lodging a police report for his missing maid. He will be sentenced July 8. For accessing data without authority from a computer system of the Ministry of Home Affairs for non-official purposes, he can be jailed up to two years, fined up to S$5,000, or both. Sheik's maid was given a stern warning for making the false report. -CNA/wk
