PM Lee sacked CPIB chief Eric Tan

[Extremist]

JUST IN: The Workforce Development Agency's CEO, Wong Hong Kuan will succeed ‪#‎CPIB‬ Director Eric Tan from 1 Sept. The Prime Minister's office says this is to "maintain public trust and confidence in the CPIB". This comes after Edwin Yeo, an Asst Director at CPIB was charged with misappropriating S$1.7 million of public funds.

But if Wong Can't Sing cannot be sacked by that SAME BOSS. That BOSS will never sack himself even if the shit was directly under his watch!

Sorry that Eric did not have Familee connection! LOL

Wong Hong Kuan appointed as new CPIB director

SINGAPORE – The Prime Minister’s office has issued the following statement following the appointment of Wong Hong Kuan as Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) director today:

An Independent Review Panel (IRP) reported that supervisory lapses in CPIB had resulted in deficiencies in financial controls and the loss of public funds. These in turn led to criminal charges against Mr Edwin Yeo, Assistant Director CPIB, which are currently before the Court. This statement does not touch on Mr Yeo’s innocence or guilt in respect of these charges.

These supervisory lapses occurred during the terms of two Directors of CPIB: Mr Soh Kee Hean (until Sep 2010) and the current Director Mr Eric Tan. Both Directors had supervisory and command responsibilities over Mr Edwin Yeo and his unit in CPIB. Both Directors have been issued formal letters of warning for their lapses, and have accepted responsibility for them.

To maintain public trust and confidence in CPIB and to fully implement the Review Panel’s recommendations, the Prime Minister has decided that Mr Wong Hong Kuan, currently the Chief Executive of the Singapore Workforce Development Agency, will succeed Mr Eric Tan as Director CPIB when Mr Tan’s term ends on 30 September 2013.

The President has concurred with the appointment of Mr Wong Hong Kuan, acting in his discretion under Article 22(1) of the Constitution. Mr Wong Hong Kuan will be posted to CPIB with effect from 1 September 2013 as Director Designate. Mr Eric Tan will work with Mr Wong Hong Kuan in the Bureau to ensure a smooth and seamless handover.

Despite this supervisory lapse, Mr Eric Tan has made many contributions to CPIB, strengthening the organisation and handling major corruption cases. He will be redeployed to other duties where his knowledge and experience will be valuable.

Mr Tan joined the Singapore Police Force in 1983. After receiving his senior officer training at the Police Academy, he did a stint in criminal investigation. Thereafter he served in the Internal Security Department handling investigations into matters of national security concern. In 1998, he was seconded to the Singapore Immigration & Registration as its Deputy Director. In 2001, he was seconded to the Central Narcotics Bureau first as its Deputy Director and thereafter to head the CNB as its youngest Director. In 2005, he became the Commissioner of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. On 1 October 2010, the President of Singapore appointed him as the Director of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.

This chap was showcased on mediacorpse tv about how clean his CPIB department was.
He even boost about taking "lie testing" on himself and all his team mates.
End of the day, I guess it's all about wayang show only.

Should have married Lee Wei Ling, that'll put him in a higher position than WKS.

Daughter > niece.

I honestly swear that I have seen a durian seller at a pasar malam who looks exactly like him, only without the tie and suit shown in the pic.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

PM is setting a bad precedence.
Now have to sack others involved in other cases....
Who to sack for SLA guy who stole millions?
Who to sack for Kovan murderer cop?
He just opened Pandora's box.

You read it that way? To me that is too simplistic. I would say that Eric Tan is a useful and dispensable tool in the real fight against WP and the public perceptions that the PAP wants to shape. If not for the recent events with WP, Eric Tan would still be in post as director.

So in summary.

The more oppo inside the Dog house the more pressure the white scums will feel and the more they will trip and shit in their pants? LOL

Amazing. Sacking in a way, but redeployment to other cushy jobs. If this moron was working in the private sector, he can bet his ass that there's no such thing as 'redeployment'.

Actually, they should also sack the deputy director - the one who looks like a butcher.

The should sack Eric's boss too. Oops....
