涉嫌诈诈欺新加坡足球总会高达63万新元资金,包括一名足总前副总监(deputy director)等四名新加坡人,今日(9日)被提控上庭。 根据新加坡贪污调查局文告,40岁的里甘日星(Rikram Jit Singh Randhir Singh),以及妻子艾莎(Asya Kirin Kames)被提控合谋诈欺足总,让足总把业务判给里甘妻子的公司。夫妇俩为此面对多达45项诈欺控状。 里甘日星在2016年至2018年期间,在足总旗下担任商业与业务发展副总监,他的工作合约在2019年1月到期。 至于他33岁的妻子艾莎,在2017年4月至10月期间,在体育休闲用品批发公司All Resource Network (ARN) 担任总监一职。 贪污调查局指出,ARN公司在提交给足总的清单,刻意隐瞒了艾莎丈夫有参与该公司业务,这使得足总在2017至2018年期间,判给ARN业务和支付18万1875新元的报酬。 里甘夫妇还和另两名男子山卡及巴拉聂班(Shankar和Pallaniappan)串谋。47岁的巴拉聂班是活动策划公司Myriad Sports的董事。 他们被指控,提呈以Myriad Sports名义提交的报价,但是隐瞒了实即工作将由ARN公司执行,也隐瞒了里甘涉及公司的事实。 结果,足总在2016年至2018年期间,把总值45万7千605元的项目,判给Myriad Sports。 山卡在2017年10月,从里甘妻子艾莎手中接棒,成为ARN公司董事。他本身也面对28项诈欺控状。 贪污调查局强调,严正看待任何诈欺犯罪活动,若诈欺罪名成立,可面对最高10年监禁或罚款。 至于足总在回应《亚洲新闻台》的询问时表示,已和当局全面合作,但有鉴于诉讼程序仍在进行,而不便对此案置评。
皇家加勒比游轮公司旗下的“海洋量子号”游轮,在前日(7日)启航,进行“无目的地”航行,但因一名83岁乘客,在冠病检测时呈阳性,结果游轮在今日需返航狮城。 乘客上船前都需要检测,上述老翁此前的检测结果为阴性。据新加坡旅游局指出,他因腹泻到船上的医疗中心求医,但却检测到阳性反应。所有曾接触患者的船员和乘客都要隔离。 不过,贸工部长陈振声,却认为游轮会出现冠病病例“并非预料之外”,要有完善的措施更为重要,如此在出现情况时能够迅速反应。 他称,政府当初允许游轮试行复航,就设想可能会出现这种情况。“所以为何要有措施,以确保类似情况发生,能够迅速做追踪、隔离必要的病例,以及让其余活动能继续进行。” 他称,当我国从疫情恢复、经济活动复苏,便采取风险管理的策略(risk management strategy),而不是消除风险的策略,不因为达到零风险而什么都不做,这也不符合我国的整体战略。
