An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) is implementing regulations to restrict its officers’ casino visits, the Public Service Division (PSD) said in a statement on Friday.
These measures are similar to the ones already implemented by the Singapore Police Force. Besides making its officers declare all visits to the casinos, SPF’s measures also include credit bureau screenings and a ban on casino visits if the officer directly deals with law enforcement matters involving casinos.
While these measures were implemented by the SPF from as early as 2009, this information has previously not made known to the public.
The PSD also revealed that all public officers are not allowed to visit casinos during working hours but there is currently no across-the-board ban on public officers going to the casinos in their personal time.
PSD, however, reassured the public that it is reviewing its code of conduct to determine if tighter rules, with regard to visiting casinos, should be implemented for the wider public service.
