An ICA sergeant has been hauled to court on corruption charges. Catherine Lim Zhi Yin, 26, allegedly accepted or agreed to accept bribes totalling $1,680 as a reward for granting 30-day social visit passes to 28 Thai women.

Gilbert Goh thinks the legal action against Workers' Party is just a distraction from the problems plaguing Oxley saga and the upcoming Presidential election. He compared this to Ang Mo Kio Town Council's alleged corruption which was mysteriously solved by dismissing a general manager and settled out of public scrutiny.

In response to some comments by netizens accusing the Workers Party of wrongdoing, The Online Citizen has this informative piece of advice.

Two former RSAF engineers were charged with corruption by CPIB. Rajkumar Padmanathan face up to 251 charges for recommending his own firm to RSAF for maintenance works. He did not tell his employers he actually owned a firm and was also related to a few other companies the RSAF contracted. Another former engineer, Sung Way Xiong, was charged for accepting a sum of money from Rajkumar in exchange for restricted pricing information.

A Chinese National tried to bribe his driving tester $200 while taking his driving test, so that he can clear his test at the Singapore Safety Driving Centre in February this year. For that, the Chinese National, Yang Qiang, 41, was sentenced to three weeks jail. He had offered the bribe to tester Noor Hafiz Abdul Aziz, but the tester refused the bribe and reported the matter to CPIB. No news on whether Yang would also be banned from taking any sort of driving tests in Singapore forever. This kind of person should not even be allowed on Singapore roads for having the cheek to bribe in order to gain a driving licence.

According to a Facebook post by The Middle Ground, TMG Editors broke the story of a simultaneous raid by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) on Tiong Bahru FC and Hougang United at around 4pm today (20 April 2017). The Woodlands Wellington clubhouse was also raided by the CPIB. Media personnel are now gathered outside FAS and calls to FAS went unanswered.

Damn. Still no 24-page spread in the Straits Times about the Ang Mo Kio Town Council corruption case. Was hoping to see colour graphs and details about the money, people and contracts involved. Corruption involving the PM's town council is apparently trivial news, as far as our mainstream media is concerned.

The press has asked The Workers’ Party to comment on what Minister Shanmugam has said with regards to the AMKTC corruption case and the AHTC governance issue.

Minister says "nothing will be swept under the carpet" - and then mainstream media do precisely that and sweep his "You are not going to get angels in power all the time" remarks under the carpet.

Mr Victor Wong, the General Manager and Secretary for Ang Mo Kio Town Council has been sacked from his position and put under investigation by the Corrupt Investigation Bureau (CPIB). Wong works for CPG Facilities Management who is the managing agent for AMK Town Council. Mr Ang, who is an MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said the town council received a complaint in September about Mr Wong concerning the way he handles contracts and dealings in the town council, behaviours which needed investigations by the CPIB.
