Of the 160 corruption-related reports last year, 56 were anonymous. Sixteen of the 68 cases registered for investigation were anonymous.<\/p>\n
“CPIB treats all reports received seriously regardless of whether the complainant is named or anonymous,” it said.<\/p>\n
A majority of the cases it investigated last year involved the private sector. One case involved the public sector.<\/p>\n
Last year, 90 people were prosecuted in court for offences investigated by CPIB. Of these, 84 were private sector individuals, while the remaining six were public sector employees.<\/p>\n
The six public sector employees were from the National Environment Agency (NEA), the Singapore Armed Forces, the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the Singapore Prison Service, St Anthony’s Canossian Secondary School and St Joseph’s Institution.<\/p>\n
“Based on the cases of private sector employees prosecuted in court for corruption-related offences over the past 10 years, construction, manufacturing, transportation and storage were the main industries vulnerable to corruption,” said CPIB.<\/p>\n
Last year, 22 cases involved public sector employees who rejected bribes – they were officers from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, the Land Transport Authority, NEA, the Singapore Police Force and an officer from Certis Cisco Aviation Security who was performing a public function.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
