Singapore replaced its Civil Defence and Central Narcotics Bureau heads on allegations of “serious personal misconduct” in the city-state’s highest-level probe of public servants in almost two decades.
The commissioner of the Singapore Civil Defence Force, Peter Lim Sin Peng, has been dismissed along with the director of the Central Narcotics Bureau Ng Boon Gay, according to statements from the Home Affairs Ministry yesterday. The city’s Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau began investigations into the activities of the two as early as December, requiring them to go on leave from their duties, according to the announcement.
