On Jan 5, anti-corruption investigators under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) swooped in unannounced on the Ubi Avenue 4 office of Mr Peter Lim, then Commissioner of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
A short time later, the engineering graduate – who was promoted to SCDF chief in 2009 – was taken to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB). His men were later told he was on leave. Indefinitely.
He wasn’t the only senior officer under MHA to be hauled in.
