On July 15, 2025, Chen Guangyun, a 39-year-old Chinese national, was sentenced to three years’ jail and six strokes of the cane after being convicted of four counts of graft and two immigration-related offences. His offences spanned across years and involved multiple illegal entries into Singapore, the bribery of a police officer, and other criminal conduct. Chen first came to Singapore lawfully on October 20, 2014, but overstayed his visa.

A 59-year-old managing director who overcharged Tampines Town Council by falsifying invoices for water pumps has been sentenced to three weeks’ jail. Zhang Shuyan, who ran FYH Integrated with his wife, pleaded guilty in April to one count of falsifying accounts, and was sentenced on May 13. The case involved a significant misuse of public funds. From April 2016 to July 2017, FYH was under a contract with Tampines Town Council to service and replace water pumps in Housing Board (HDB) estates. According to the contract, a schedule of rates specified the prices for various pump types, including the less expensive single-stage pumps and the pricier multi-stage versions.
