Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Prime Minister (a) whether there was any investigation by CPIB into the alleged transactions over no-public tender leases of Maldivian islands in 2014 and 2015 by Singaporean hotelier Ong Beng Seng; (b) if not, whether CPIB was aware of the allegations; and (c) If no investigation was pursued, why.
Mr Chan Chun Sing (for the Prime Minister): Assoc Prof Jamus Lim asked whether the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) was pursuing another specific investigation. Due to operational considerations, CPIB does not, as a general rule, comment on the existence or non-existence of investigations. For the ongoing investigation involving Mr S Iswaran, CPIB has made an exception to disclose that he is being investigated by CPIB as he is a Minister.
