Former SCDF and CNB chiefs arrested

[Edureach]

Wine, women, power, fame and money… It’s extremely difficult for mortal men to conquer any of these entrapments in their flesh. History tells us that even the best of men failed.


It’s a pity that their distinguish careers ended in this manner.

Not ended but reputation tarnished.
Totally agreed.

There are two issues here.


1. Taking under table money (it is definitely under CPIB jurisdiction)
2. Having an affair with women (not sure about this one. Is it an issue?)

The first issue has already been addressed by our government. That is to give super scale high pay to our top civil servants.

I am not sure about second issue. Maybe, our top civil servants should be offered sanctioned, pretty, sexy women of their choice as part of the official reward?

HVR:

Of course it is wrong to corrupt but until such time that they are proven guilty, we should be measured in our comments. Dont forget CPIB recently just clear a former Principal of any wrong doing after their investigation.

My View


Should wrongdoing be punished? Of course.

Should children be set on the straight and narrow? Definitely

Should high ranking public officials be expected to uphold high personal moral standards? Not in other countries perhaps, but most certainly in Singapore.

See. Chinese Helicopter and Potato not so far apart after all.

Is the woman involved a PRC?

Is there really a woman involved in the first place?

[quote]The senior woman executive was reportedly on “very close terms” with Mr Peter Benedict Lim and Mr Ng but both men were unaware that she knew each other.


Due to the “sexual favours” arranged by the woman, both men allegedly circumvented protocols and awarded IT deals to the electronics company she works for. It is not known if she is still working in the electronics company after CPIB arrested the two former chiefs.[/quote] :xedfingers: ........................... :xedfingers:
