SINGAPORE: A former Housing and Development Board (HDB) group director has been charged with breaching one of the agency’s databases and keeping documents and information she had no right to.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Tan Chew Ling, 58, breached HDB\u2019s housing management submissions database 161 times over two days, Apr 27 and Apr 28 in 2024.<\/p>\n
The former HDB group director for estate administration and property also allegedly kept three documents as well as information related to seven HDB flats without authorisation during this period.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Tan had no right to keep the documents and information, and she managed to obtain them due to the position she held at HDB then.<\/p>\n
The documents she allegedly obtained included the estimated rental income for a private two-room unit at Duo Residences in Fraser Street.<\/p>\n
Tan also allegedly retained a submission over the compulsory acquisition of home ownership for a flat and another about HDB disallowing an objection against an intended compulsory acquisition of home ownership for a flat.<\/p>\n
The seven HDB flats she allegedly kept information about were in Toa Payoh, Pasir Ris, Geylang, Queenstown, Bedok, Tampines and Bishan.<\/p>\n
Tan faces one charge under the Official Secrets Act and one charge under the Computer Misuse Act. She returned to court on Tuesday (Sep 16) for a further mention of the case. A pre-trial conference was set for Oct 20.<\/p>\n
The HDB division she oversaw while committing the alleged offences formulated and implemented public housing policies and planned flat supply, pricing, marketing and sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
