  Channel NewsAsia - Friday, October 30

  SINGAPORE: A senior immigration officer was charged in court on Thursday with accepting S$1,550 in bribes.

  54—year—old Mah Chin Phock faced eight charges of taking bribes in the form of cash and loans, between June and November 2007. He was a Senior Immigration and Checkpoints Specialist when he accepted the bribes from a coffee shop owner, Chia Ngee Seng.

  Chia had provided "U—turn" services to female Chinese nationals entering Singapore via the Woodlands checkpoint. These foreign women would go to Malaysia for a short period and return to Singapore to get their social visit passes extended.

  Chia had sought the assistance of Mah to facilitate the entry of these Chinese nationals by conducting less stringent checks on them. In return, Chia had given Mah bribes, with amounts varying from S$100 to S$500, on eight occasions.

  Chia also bribed Mah’s supervisor, Matthew Goh, with 4D tickets. He did this in return for Goh to turn a blind eye on his colleague’s illegal activities.

  Goh was sentenced to six months’ jail in March this year, and Chia was sentenced to ten months’ imprisonment on October 22.

  If convicted, Mah could be jailed for up to five years or fined up to S$100,000, or both.

  For ministers I think sack them and replace them with opposition party members. Don't need to hire foreigners

  for some people, cheating is more fun than taking loan, when i studied psyhic crime, some people feel excited and fulfilled by the ability to cheat the laws, furthermore, to spend on cheated money is much better than using their own salaries. That is why you can see rich peoples, who are rich and yet perform silly cheating crime, just like shoplifting, to some rich, it is not about money, but the thrill and excitement of able to steal without being caught.

  Five years only?

  
  What a shame.

  Know the law yet breaking it, shouldn't the punishment be longer?

   

  Jeez.

  Stupid becuase of 1500.

   If i am him, aim one big heroin or Drug deal. 1 short earn 5 million. One full lorry come in.

  I will straight take the money and proceed with migration to other countries.

  Of cos money cannot be use in singapore. Just bring a briefcase and pass Malaysia. Take a plane to other country. Quit the customs and leave singapore forever. I take the money go Vietnam, Cambodia or Thailand also happy.
