SINGAPORE – A private investigation and security company and its managing partner were fined on July 14 over an assignment to conduct surveillance on a police officer.
Tan Kok Boon, 58, was fined $25,000, while CDiC Consultants was fined $20,000 for supplying private investigation services without approval.
In sentencing, District Judge Lim Tse Haw noted that the surveillance was “rather extensive” and it ended only because the police officer realised he was being followed.
Court documents stated that a man identified as Pai Hong Yao contacted CDiC in November 2021 to conduct surveillance on the officer.
Identified as DSP Lee in court documents, the officer was involved in an investigation concerning Pai’s father.
Pai hired CDiC as he was dissatisfied with the way his father was treated during the investigation.
