SINGAPORE: A former senior customs officer has been charged with corruption by accepting lottery tickets.
61-year-old Matthew Goh, who was then a chief immigration and checkpoints specialist, is accused of receiving 4D tickets from a man who helped women from China enter Singapore via the Woodlands Checkpoint.
The two tickets were worth a total of S$240.
Goh, who has since retired, allegedly failed to report a subordinate whom he knew was conducting less stringent checks to facilitate the women's entry into the country.
He is out on a S$5,000 bail and due back in court next Friday.
If convicted, he could be fined up to S$100,000 or jailed up to five years, or both. - CNA/vm
