A miscalculation in drug abuse statistics resulted in the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) reporting a downward trend when numbers were, in fact, on the rise from 2008 to 2010.
The correct data, released on Thursday, shows that there were actually 2,537 drug abusers arrested in 2008 instead of 1,925. The number rose to 2,616 in 2009, instead of the reported 1,883. Last year, drug abusers arrested numbered 2,887 instead of 1,805.
CNB's director, Ng Boon Gay said while the error resulted in incomplete statistics reported, all individual cases of drug abuse were correctly dealt with and in accordance with the law.[/B]
Ng said the CNB is sorry for the mistake and will take full responsibility for the error.

Things are really getting stranger and stranger in uniquely Singapore.
If the numbers don't tally for three years, how could all the drug cases were correctly dealt with? And you don't need a computer to tell you that things are wrong when the numbers are fewer than 3,000, for fook sake!
And what does "taking full responsbility mean" - harakiri? Return the fooking performance bonus from whatever KPIs were set?
What is going on in Singapore duh?
