SINGAPORE — It remains a mystery how a ComCare social assistance recipient — who was sentenced to four months’ jail for forgery earlier this week — was given a blank cheque last year by those disbursing the funds.

The People’s Association (PA), which oversees the Citizens’ Consultative Committees (CCCs), has concluded its investigations into the incident. Responding to TODAY’s queries, it was unable to say how the incident could have occurred, but its spokesperson reiterated that all grassroots organisations under the PA have to observe stringent processes when issuing cheques.

The processes require three different people to be involved — one to prepare the cheque, and two others to verify and sign, she said.

The CCCs administer the CCC ComCare programme on behalf of the Government.

The statement of facts admitted to the courts said Madam Soh Teng Hua, a member of Zhenghua CCC, lodged a police report in December last year that S$8,000 was withdrawn from the bank account of Zhenghua CCC Community Development and Welfare Fund through a cheque. The cheque had been issued to Khoo Chin Guan, 29, who was a ComCare beneficiary entitled to receiving payouts of S$200 each time from the fund.

Adding that the fund did not issue a cheque of that amount to Khoo, Mdm Soh suspected that he had amended the cheque before cashing it.

The court documents said investigations revealed that in June last year, the fund had issued a cheque to Khoo “but omitted to state the amount on the said cheque”. Khoo received the cheque on July 1 last year and acknowledged receipt of it by signing on a payment voucher issued by Zhenghua CCC. He noticed that the amount fields on the cheque were left blank and filled them with “eight thousand dollars only” and “8,000”.

TODAY understands that in line with bank practice, the cheque was destroyed after an image was taken.

The PA spokesperson stressed that there was nothing amiss in the other cheques prepared in the same batches. She said the cheques and payment vouchers for CCC ComCare recipients are usually prepared by the secretary of the Community Development and Welfare Fund, using the list of recipients assessed by the CCC to be eligible to receive the assistance.

The cheques are then sent to the authorised signatories for their signature. The beneficiaries are invited to collect the cheques and are required to acknowledge its receipt by signing the payment voucher.

All CCCs follow the same procedure, including Zhenghua CCC, the spokesperson said.

“Each cheque must be accompanied by a payment voucher specifying the recipient, the purpose and that the expenditure has been approved by the relevant grassroots committee,” she added. “Cheques must be signed by two authorised signatories and all payments must be acknowledged by the recipient.”

Zhenghua CCC chairman Chai Chon Fah was at a loss to explain how it could have happened. “(It is) not one person doing the job, (there are) different people, (following) standard procedures to prepare the cheques,” he said.

Members of other CCCs said they were equally perplexed how the incident could have occurred.

Mr Wilson Zhuang, secretary of Nee Soon South CCC, noted that it would take three different people — two grassroots leaders from the CCCs and an employee from the constituency office — being careless and negligent to allow a blank cheque to be issued.

Still, Toa Payoh East CCC chairman James Teo said that since the case came to light, his CCC has strengthened the procedures by designing a checklist for every step of the process in issuing cheques.

and no one took responsibility as again.

Not any other amount if you KNOW that the correct amount should be $200.

$200 doesn't sound lucky, $8000 sounds luckier :biggrin: nothing wrong if recipient wants to give himself more luck :biggrin:
Anyway, what is $8000 when all those jiakliaobees are paying themselves way more than that a month? You take I take everyone takes (sinkieland belongs to ALL), like that fairer what :biggrin:

A mystery, that the police force solved by putting the receipient in jail and no answers on how he obtained it. Excellent work, Home team. Excellent.

This isn't new in Dynasty.
Don't depend on police to do investigation work. They only take orders from their masters on who to screw.

CCC has been squandering money for decades ...the blank cheque was intended for a PAP supporter but it got inadvertently handed over to this lady.

A bigger question is why should welfare cheques be dished out by the CCC instead of the ministry?

CCC = MP = PAP
So be thankful to MIW and not the country.

How many idiots you need to have a blank cheque signed?
Three not enough, if done by MIW.

One wonders why the Auditor-General doesn't report never covers how are money is being spent by the CCC, RC and other supposed grassroot organizations. The PA should be audited as well.

I don't trust the AG. When the WP takes over government, a massive scale forensic audit should be conducted for all these 'grassroot' organizations. I bet there will be lots of skeletons in those closets.

The most servile sycophants get promoted into parliament wherein which they enjoy instant salary increase.
'Without some assurance of a good chance of winning at least their first election, many able and successful young Singaporeans may not risk their careers to join politics,' Mr Goh Chok Tong, June 2006 ['GRCs make it easier to find top talent: SM'].

Wherein which the best performance apprasial of every PAP MP is conferred based upon how sucssful he is in convincing citizens to agree to increase ministerial salaries...
"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals. Hence, a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity."
