Public Service Division mulls tighter rules on casino visits for wider civil service
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The Public Service Division (PSD) is reviewing if tighter rules with regard to visiting casinos should be put in place for the wider civil service. This is to reduce the risk of public officers incurring debts from gambling. File photo: The Singapore skyline. (AFP/File - Roslan Rahman) SINGAPORE: The Public Service Division (PSD) is reviewing if tighter rules with regard to visiting casinos should be put in place for the wider civil service. This is to reduce the risk of public officers incurring debts from gambling. This week, CPIB assistant director Edwin Yeo Seow Hiong was charged with misappropriating S$1.7 million. Yeo was also charged with using some S$241,000 of what he had allegedly misappropriated to gamble at Marina Bay Sands casino. Tighter rules could apply to civil servants who work in areas where there may be potential conflict of interest, or where there may be a high risk of them being exploited. Currently, restrictions apply to officers who have direct dealings with the casinos. For example, officers with the Casino Regulatory Authority and police officers dealing with enforcement matters related to casinos are banned from visiting casinos in Singapore, except for official reasons. But it is not a blanket ban for all police officers. Police officers involved in general law enforcement work are only required to declare their casino visits within a week. Any new guidelines will be included in the PSD's code of conduct for civil servants. - CNA/xq Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com. |
