SINGAPORE: A mastermind behind a scheme to forge audit documents, in order to cover up how his company had overcharged the Singapore Prison Service for goods and services, was given 15 months jail on Thursday (Apr 8).
Loo Yew Tek, 50, pleaded guilty to 30 charges, mostly of conspiring to use a forged document as genuine, with another 88 charges taken into consideration. He was already serving a 14-month jail term for other charges related to this case when he received the fresh sentence.

SINGAPORE - Since Covid-19 hit and took in-class sessions out, Home Team Academy (HTA) trainers have had to adapt their programmes so officers could still receive training essential to their work.
From Zoom to digital journal mobile apps and even video calls, Home Team officers from agencies such as the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), Singapore Police Force and Singapore Prison Service tapped every tool at their disposal to keep the training momentum going.
The officers described how they did it in interviews with The Straits Times over two days from Thursday (March 11).
Ms Seah Wang Ling, a psychologist who works with CNB, said training had to continue following a 2019 amendment to the Misuse of Drugs Act, which saw drug supervision extended from two years to five years after an abuser s release from DRC or prison.
