SINGAPORE:
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said it will issue a statement on Wednesday with regard to a report by Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao, alleging that the Commissioner of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Peter Lim has been suspended.

The paper had also said director of the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) Ng Boon Gay has been called in for questioning by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.

Quoting sources but with no official verification, the report said Mr Lim had been suspended for nearly a month, and that the case is believed to be "linked to money and women".

A spokesperson from the ministry told Channel NewsAsia both Mr Lim and Mr Ng are on leave, for now.

Mr Lim, a Public Service Commission (PSC) scholar was appointed as SCDF Commissioner in 2009.

Mr Ng, also a PSC scholar, was a former director of the Criminal Investigation Department.

He took on his current role early last year.
