Ridout Road scandal

[jalanjalan]

Latest news is that the investigation found no wrongdoing in the case of both ministers renting massive houses along Ridout road. However, a lot of Singaporeans are questioning the legitimacy of the investigation, as it was conducted internally. What do you all think?

It was conducted by CPIB. Good enough for me.
I've found the whole episode mildly amusing tbh.

The head of the CPIB reports to the prime minister, so their "findings" are no surprise.

What's amazing is that Shanmugan managed to guess the guide rent exactly.

It's public..only have to inquire, nothing more..Been there, done that already, as noted previously.

From the CPIB report: "Mr Shanmugam and his agent were not aware of the guide rent."

That only says they didn't enquire, not that it wasn't available.

It's not finished. Sham will never get out from under this one. It will always be on people's minds and whispers. Also have you seen how under-resourced CPIB is?

Got to admit, plainclothes officers are the norm for CPIB.
