A senior officer with the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau is
currently being investigated for embezzlement, reported The New
Paper on Thursday.
CPIB has confirmed it is investigating one of its own, and in a
reply to the paper said, "Upon discovery of suspected financial
impropriety by one of its officers, the CPIB referred the matter to
the CAD for investigation".
The CAD refers to the Commercial Affairs Department, which usually
investigates white collar crimes. It also confirmed it is looking
into the matter.
The man being investigated is believed to hold the position of
assistant director and he has reportedly been suspended from
duty.
It's the second case in recent days of an investigation involving a
civil servant.
Over the weekend, The Sunday Times reported that an assistant
director with the Media Development Authority of Singapore
is being
investigated for
trying to borrow money from applicants who are seeking an MDA
grant.
It's understood the officer, who is single and in his 30s, has also
been suspended from duty.

But, it is a good sign that more cases are surfacing as this will deter more cases from happening.
High Pay does not mean No Corruption.
High Pay also does not mean you have better foresight and can planned better.
High Pay also does not mean more dignity and respect.
U can be lowly paid and still have dignity and respect.
