Ex-Singapore drug enforcement head face corruption charge

Commenting on two recent corruption cases involving Former Singapore Central Narcotics Bureau director Ng Boon Gay and former Singapore Civil Defence Force commissioner Peter Benedict Lim Sin Pang, SMU Assistant Professor of Law and NMP Eugene Tan said that “The cases have taken some shine off Singapore's reputation for being relatively corruption-free.” “But one could also look at the two cases and say that the fact that these have been uncovered and that they are being prosecuted shows the robustness in the system.” He added that “These two high-profile cases point to the need for continued vigilance.”
